The VESA Enhanced Video Connector was a VESA standard that was intended to reduce the number of cables around a computer by incorporating video, audio, parallel printing, FireWire and USB into a single cable system. The intention of the system was to make the monitor the central point of connection. Although the specific idea did not find favour with computer manufacturers, it did evolve into the somewhat more popular VESA Plug and Display standard. The most popular similar technology at the current time is DVI.
