Short for
DVI (
Digital Visual Interface)
Integrated, DVI-I is the connection, or interface used between
monitors and computers or home theater systems. DVI-I is used to interface with
an
LCD or
CRT monitor display for
digital video output. DVI-I supports both digital and analog. However, it will
not use both at the same time. DVI-I detects and chooses digital or analog
depending on the connected display. Contrast with DVI-D, which is a digital-only
interface and DVI-A which is an analog-only interface.
