The DVI guide writes that if the source is a DVI-I and the monitor is DVI-D,
I would need a DVI-D Dual-Link digital cable. However, both ends of that cable
are the 24pin plus blade pin and my source (graphics card) is a DVI-I Dual link.
So, would I not need one end of the DVI-D Dual-link cable to have 24pins plus
two pins above and below the blade pin?
The four surrounding pins on the DVI-I cable are to carry the analog portion
of the DVI-I signal, useful for converting to VGA or other analog sources. They
are not used in the digital-only DVI-D signal.
The guide is correct: for a DVI-I to DVI-D connection, you will want to use
a DVI-D to DVI-D cable.
