What are the advantages of the DisplayPort interface?

DisplayPort is a high-definition digital display interface that can connect computers and monitors to computers and home theaters. DisplayPort version 1.1 supports 10.8GB/S transmission bandwidth, DisplayPort supports wqxga+ (2560x1600), QXGA (2048x1536) resolution and 30/36bit (per color 10/12bit) color depth , 1920x1200 resolution color support to the 120/24bit, ultra-high bandwidth and resolution is sufficient to adapt to the development of display equipment.

　What are the advantages of the DisplayPort interface

High bandwidth

The current HDMI 1.3 interface can support about 10.2Gbps bandwidth signal transmission, while the DisplayPort interface can transmit 10.8Gbps bandwidth signal, the advantage is more obvious. With an ultra-high bandwidth advantage, DisplayPort can easily support the ultra-high resolution display such as 2560x1600.

　　Free use

The latest DisplayPort interface is not like the HDMI interface, the need to pay a certain amount of membership fee per year, also do not have to like the HDMI interface for each product containing HDMI interface to pay, is the real sense of total royalty free. Therefore, the DisplayPort interface has won the strong support of many international famous manufacturers.

　Integrate Peripheral equipment

DisplayPort allows audio and video signals to be shared in a single cable transmission, supporting a wide range of high-quality digital audio. But more advanced than HDMI, DisplayPort can also achieve more functionality on a single cable. In addition to the four main transmission channels, DisplayPort also provides a powerful auxiliary channel. The transmission bandwidth of the auxiliary channel is 1Mbps, the maximum delay is only 500μs, it can be directly used as the transmission channel of low bandwidth data such as voice and video, and can be used for game control without delay. Visible, DisplayPort can realize to the peripheral equipment maximum degree of integration, control.

　High scalability Features

Although the DisplayPort 1.0 standard supports only one audio stream transmission, DisplayPort has a highly scalable feature, so it is not difficult to transfer multiple video or audio streams simultaneously. Painting, split-screen display function for DisplayPort is "a piece of cake", a DisplayPort connector can support up to 6 1080i or 3 1080p video stream.
