[26] It is designed to be embedded into monitors to enable USB as a video input on displays. It is described as a low-power device, which enables it to be powered from the USB bus without the need for an external power supply.
In addition to digital, some DVI connectors also have pins that pass an analog signal, which can be used to connect an analog monitor. The analog pins are the four that surround the flat blade on a DVI-I or DVI-A connector. A VGA monitor, for example, can be connected to a video source with DVI-I through the use of a passive adapter. Since the ...
