What is Unified Display Interface?
Unified Display Interface (UDI) refers to one of the latest standards in video interfaces, incorporating personal computer (PC) compatibility with High-Definition Multimedia (HDMI) displays, or High-Definition television (HDTV). The Unified Display Interface will replace legacy VGA connections on PC monitors and electronic devices. While VGA was based on older analog technology, UDI and HDMI are digital technologies. The Unified Display Interface will be compatible with Digital Video Interface (DVI), allowing for components with DVI to communicate with the newer standard. Although DVI is also digital and a step up from VGA, it is not compatible with HDMI. As users bridge PCs and other devices to HDTVs for various purposes, it has become obvious that an interface that supports HDMI is ideal. The Special Interest Group (SIG) responsible for developing the Unified Display Interface consists of several leading corporations, including Intel, LG Electronics, Apple, nVidia, Samsung, and Silic
