  • Publication number: 20050172037
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to map pins on an interface connector to signals for a digital display. A first group of signal traces maps transmitter differential pairs pins in a first group of lanes on the interface connector compatible with a first interface standard to video output points corresponding to video output signals of a first video port compatible with a second interface standard. A second group of signal traces maps presence detect pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to control signal points corresponding to control signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard. A third group of signal traces maps receiver differential pairs pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to video input points corresponding to video input signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard.

  • Publication number: 20050134593
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to interface a display card through an interface connector. A video output device on the display card generates digital video output signals from a graphics chipset on a motherboard. The card is plugged into an interface connector on the motherboard. The interface connector is compatible with a first interface standard. The video output device is compatible to a second interface standard. A card detector is coupled to the video output device and the interface connector to enable the video output device if the graphics chip set supports the video output device.
