The drive of the multimedia age leads consumers to want digital capability and connections on equipment instead of analog. Consumers also have shown a desire for fewer cables and simpler connection methods. Displayport is a new license-free, next generation digital standard endorsed by vesa (video electronics standards association) and provides a means to defeat the limitations of vga and dvi connections. The displayport interface provides a seamless connection among a broad range of electronics such as pcs, computer monitors/displays and home theater equipment. The robustness of displayport also allows it to be compatible with many other digital technologies such as hdmi and dvi. Displayport adapters from cables to go convert a displayport signal for viewing on a dvi- or hdmi-equipped display. Connect the adapter directly to the pc. Then use an existing dvi or hdmi cable between the adapter and the display and enjoy pc video content on virtually any high-definition digital display.
