DisplayPort
- DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard
put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
which defines a digital audio and video interconnect scheme
intended primarily for use between a computer and its display.
DisplayPort is designed to replace digital (DVI) and analog
component video (VGA) connectors in computer monitors and
video cards. As well as replace internal digital LVDS links in
computer monitor panels and TV panels. Though DisplayPort
can provide the same functionality as HDMI it is not expected to
displace HDMI in high-definition consumer electronics devices.
DisplayPort includes optional DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection) which is licensed from
Philips and uses 128-bit AES encryption. It also features full authentication and session key
establishment along with an independent revocation system, something that is considered
essential by premium content owners such as Hollywood studios. Later versions of
DisplayPort beginning with version 1.1 added support for the industry-standard 56-bit HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) revision 1.3
