Computer hardware, technology: DisplayPort, part 1
Self-tutoring about computer hardware: the tutor mentions DisplayPort.
The following is according to my understanding.
DisplayPort is a high-end technology for conveying video signals to a monitor. It also carries audio, but seems most known for its apt handling of video.
DisplayPort came out in 2006. Nowadays, it’s not as common as HDMI, but perhaps preferred by some gamers. One possible reason is DisplayPort’s support for daisy chaining, which refers to its capability to enter one monitor, then be output from that monitor to the next one. (Said monitor needs both input and output ports for DisplayPort.) Impressively, the two monitors in such a setup can show different images. In particular, it seems DisplayPort’s MST, multi-streaming transport, enables this. Moreover, the computer’s graphics card needs to support this facility for it to happen.
I checked the devices here; none seems to have DisplayPort. Then again, we don’t tend to buy high-end electronics.
