Digital video cables are used for transmitting digital video signals from one video source to other output media like LCD projectors, LCD televisions, and computer monitors. They are composed of pin connectors arranged in different types like HDMI, DVI, DFP, and P&D. They can display videos up to 720p or 1080i resolutions. Some digital video cables can transmit analog and audio signals aside from digital video signals.
They have three subtypes: DVI-D, which transmits digital signals only; DVI-A, which transmits analog signals only; and DVI-I, which transmits both signal types.
Connector: Choose a digital video cable with gold-plated connectors for resistance to corrosion and rust, and for efficient signal transmissions.
Compatibility: Before buying a digital video cable, check if it is compatible with your computer, laptop, LCD projector, or other electronic device. Some digital video cables can only be used for certain devices, so consult your cable manufacturer for a list of compatible systems.
Length: For home and office use, choose a digital video cable six to 15 feet long, as one longer than 15 feet can produce video distortions. However, if you really need a longer digital video cable, test its output quality at the store. You can also do a brand comparison to know which one works the best.
