3.1 About DisplayPort
DisplayPort (DP) is a digital display interface standard for the PC industry. It
delivers the highest resolutions and sound quality.
In addition, DisplayPort:
•
Provides a simple interface between a PC and a display, projector or TV
•
Supports 1 to 4 data pairs ("lanes") at a transfer rate of 1.62Gb or 2.7Gb
per second
•
Has a maximum length of 15 meters for video transmission, at a
resolution of 1080p/60Hz and 3 meters for full bandwidth transmission
•
Video specs include a video path that supports 6 to 16 bits per color
channel, a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and a total maximum
bandwidth of 10.8Gbps over four lanes
•
Is backward-compatible with HDMI, DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and
VGA, via an appropriate adapter
•
Version 1.1 supports HDCP (see section
3.2
)
•
Supports two-way communication over its auxiliary channel between the
video source (for example, a PC) and the digital display, enabling new
functionality such as automatic configuration and one-button play
•
Replaces the interface needed between the PC and an external display, as
well as the low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface in
notebook computers, monitors, to connect to LCD panels
