DisplayPort to DVI cables

Display Port – DVI

— devices that have a DisplayPort connector on one side and a DVI connector on the other.

Display Port is a digital interface originally designed for video, but more recently it has also allowed audio. In terms of capabilities, this interface is similar to HDMI (see "HDMI — HDMI"), however, for a number of reasons, the main scope of Display Port is computer technology: in particular, this connector (and its smaller versions) is used as a standard video output in their computers by the company Apple. As for DVI, this standard is also used in the main computer technology for video; at the same time, it can provide both digital and analogue signal transmission methods. And the two main modern varieties of DVI — purely digital DVI-D and combined DVI-I — can be either single- or dual-link (single / dual link), and these types of connectors are far from always mutually compatible. So when buying a cable or adapter with a DVI connector, it's ok to clarify the specific type of this connector.

Note that adapters (see "Type") of this format usually have a DisplayPort plug and a DVI jack — that is, they are designed to connect DVI devices to DisplayPort outputs.
