Connector
|
Description
|
3W3
|
To connect to a high-quality grayscale computer monitor. |
|
Composite video (male / female)
|
Also called an "RCA" connector, this connects to an analog
video output device (for example, a TV or video recorder) or an analog video source (for example, a
video camera or video player). |
|
DVI
|
A standard "Digital Visual Interface" connector used to
connect to a digital or analog computer monitor. There are digital-only (DVI-D), analog-only (DVI-A),
and single-link versions of this connector, but generally a connector type compatible with all
variations is used (DVI-I). |
|
HD-15
|
Also sometimes called a "VGA"
connector, this connects to analog computer monitors (typically CRT monitors). |
|
KX20
|
A Matrox connector used, in conjunction with an adapter
cable, to connect to 4 monitors at a time (digital and/or analog). |
|
LFH-60
|
A Matrox connector used, in conjunction with an
adapter cable, to connect to 2 monitors at a time (digital and/or analog). |
|
Mini DIN-3
|
Connects to a stereoscopic device (for
example, glasses with LCD shutters) to synchronize that device with the stereo-3D output
of the graphics hardware. |
|
S-video (male / female)
|
Sometimes referred to as a "mini DIN-4", "separated video",
"Y/C", and (incorrectly) "S-VHS" connector, this connects to an analog video output device (for
example, a TV or video recorder) or an analog video source (for example, a video camera or video
player). This type of connection allows for higher quality than a composite video connection
because, with S-video, the brightness and color information are kept separate.
