Using HDTV with NVIDIA GPU-Based Graphics Cards
Your NVIDIA HDTV-encoded graphics card is supplied with the “breakout pod”
to which you connect the Component Y-Pb-Pr Video Cable for DVD/HDTV that
came with your HDTV set.
Note:
For detailed information, refer to the user documentation supplied with
your HDTV set.
HDTV over DVI
HDTV over DVI (see
“Using HDTV Formats” on page 83
) uses the standard digital
interface to transmit uncompressed HD digital video. The formats are limited by the
available EIA-861B modes from the EDID or the custom modes you may have added.
So if you have an HDTV with a DVI connection, you can use a DVI cable (sample
shown in
) below.

D connector
The D Connector is used mostly in Japanese market and its path is also defined by the
encoder but the available formats are additionally restricted by the D1 to D4 output
modes.
