Mini-DVI
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIN : Mini-DVI
The Mini-DVI connector is used primarily on Apple computers as a digital alternative to the Mini-VGA connector. It is found on the 12" PowerBook G4, Intel-based iMac and the new MacBook Intel-based laptop. Mini-DVI connectors on Apple hardware are capable of carrying DVI, VGA, or TV signals through the use of adapters, detected with EDID (Extended display identification data) via DDC. This connector is often used in place of a DVI connector in order to save physical space on devices.
The physical connector is similar to Mini-VGA, but is differentiated by having four rows of pins arranged in two vertically-stacked slots rather than the two rows of pins in the Mini-VGA.
