Silicon Image, over the past few Digital Visual Interface “DVI” redirects here. For other uses, see DVI (disambiguation).

The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital
 (DVI (1) (Digital Video Interactive) An earlier compression technique that provided up to 72 minutes of full-screen video on a CD-ROM. Acquired by Intel in 1988 from RCA's Sarnoff Research labs, Princeton, NJ, DVI never caught on. ) based on PanelLsion is to go beyond the interface technology wisual Controllers is the first step in that nextnology is a new, innovative all-digital solution in image processing. Because traditional solutions are fundamentally analog image processing solutions, they are forced sumers are offered a "no-compromise" solution foe quality, frame rate preservation, flexibilityr management and a flexible panel interface which supports all of the commercially available XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K.  (1024x768) TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film.

The first generation Digital Visual Controller, SiI 801, is available now, priced at $17.25 for quantities of 10,000.

Silicon Image, Inc. is the industry leader in high-speed, low-cost all-digital video/graphics display technology. The company's PanelLink technology implements the industry's only standard, open, scaleable, end-to-end, serial, all-digital physical connectivity between computers, controllers, or other sources of video and digital video display devices such as flat-panel monitors. The PanelLink protocol has been adopted by the Digital Display Working Group as the newly adopted Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification, Video Electronics Standards Association See VESA.
