DVI D cable: Doing away with analog conversion

DVI D cable is used for establishing direct digital connections between source video such as video cards and digital LCD, or CRT monitors if you will. A DVI-D cable is capable of transmitting a digital signal only. This type of cable won’t be of any use if your source device generates an analog signal or your output device accepts only an analog signal. As its format is digital, DVI D cable provides a faster, better-quality image than what you have with an analog format. All video cards produce a digital video signal, which is then converted into analog at the VGA output. When the analog signal reaches the monitor, it is again converted back into a digital signal. With a DVI D cable, there is no need for this analog conversion process.
Make sure you get the right variety of DVI D cable for your products the first time. Check both of the female DVI plugs to find out what signals these plugs are compatible with. Try to follow these simple guidelines: use a DVI D cable if one or both connections are DVI D; in case one or both connections are DVI-A, you should opt for a DVI-A cable; if one connection is DVI and the other VGA, and the DVI is analog-compatible, use a DVI to VGA cable or a DVI/VGA adapter.
For connecting your DVI D cable, attach one end to your DVI compatible digital source such as a DVD player. Attach the other end to your DVI compatible output device.
