Video game consoles with DVI?

Although DVI is predominantly associated with computers, it is sometimes used in [...] video game consoles... Does any video game console natively output in DVI? The PS3, Xbox 360 (Post-Elite models), and all eighth-generation consoles can output HDMI, and the Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox 360 have had first-party VGA cables; but none that I know of can output DVI without use of third-party adapters.

DVI not the only analog carrier anymore

With DisplayPort fairly widespread, the paragraph stating DVI is the only standard carrying both analog and digital should be revised (with a source), or removed. -wizzard2k ^(C-T-D) 15:53, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DP is digital-only, requiring an active external RAMDAC, whereas DVI-I & DVI-A have pins that carry native analog signals. 104.192.89.129 (talk) 21:05, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The external thing would just be a DAC. It would have no need to store and look up items in a color palette; that's already been done by the time the bits come out of DP. Jeh (talk) 21:51, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DVI should redirect to the Disambiguation page, not here

Obviously, there are a lot more things "DVI" can stand for. 213.149.61.233 (talk) 20:54, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At the top of the page, there is a link to the disambiguation page. (Where you can see those other uses.) Unless you believe that one of those uses is searched for often enough, this one should be fine. Gah4 (talk) 22:35, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are diagrams correct?

Hi.

I am looking at the diagrams and they don't seem right to me. First this image:

Female M1-DA connector pins (view of plug)

The problem is that the place of chamfers are wrong. When the minus-like pin is to the left, the chamfers must be at the top. You can see it in this image:

Female DVI jacks. Notice that chamfers are at the top, not bottom

The second problem is the "view of the plug" phrase. The view of the plug is always the same as the view of the port. I think it was intended to be "view from inside the port or plug" so as to justify the incorrect location of the chamfers, at the cost of diminishing the educational value for human consumers who never have that view. Even in that case, the holes must be white, not black.

This problem applies to File:DVI Connector Types.svg as well.

Does anyone object if I fixed this? (Chamberlain2007?)
