DVI, short for Digital Visual Interface is an all digital format for transmitting high definition video but unlike HDMI, does not support audio. DVI comes in 3 versions and two of those come in two configurations for a total of 5 overall types. (1) DVI-D which is all digital, (2) DVI-I which supports both digital or analog signals and (3) DVI-A which is analog only. DVI-D and DVI-I can also come in a (4) single link or (5) dual link configuration. In practical terms, DVI single link can display a resolution of 1920 x 1200, while a DVI dual link can display a resolution of up to 2560 x 1600. Since distances are limited, there are also active and fiber DVI cables for long cable runs.
