video source (for example, a video camera or video player).

|
A standard "Digital Visual Interface" connector used to connect
to a digital or analog computer monitor. There are digital-only
(DVI-D), analog-only (DVI-A), and single-link versions of this
connector, but generally a connector type compatible with all
variations is used (DVI-I).
|
|
HD-15
|
Also sometimes called a "VGA" connector, this connects to
analog computer monitors (typically CRT monitors).
|
|
KX20
|
A Matrox connector used, in conjunction with an adapter cable, to
connect to 4 monitors at a time (digital and/or analog).
|
|
LFH-60
|
A Matrox connector used, in conjunction with an adapter cable, to
connect to 2 monitors at a time (digital and/or analog).
|
|
Mini DIN-3
|
Connects to a stereoscopic device (for example, glasses with LCD
shutters) to synchronize that device with the stereo-3D output of
the graphics hardware.
|
|
S-video (male / female)
|
Sometimes referred to as a "mini DIN-4", "separated video", "Y/C",
and (incorrectly) "S-VHS" connector, this connects to an analog
video output device (for example, a TV or video recorder) or an
analog video source (for example, a video camera or video player).
This type of connection allows for higher quality than a composite
video connection because, with S-video, the brightness and color
information are kept separate.
|
|
SCART
|
Also called "PÈritel" and "Euroconnector", this connects to an analog
video output device (for example, a TV or video recorder). This
connector type is sometimes used in Europe.
