static electricity and shields it against EMI (Electronic Magnetic Interference).

chassis front panel cable in a small chassis, making the connection quick and accurate.

DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard, providing billions of colors and bi-

directional communications, thus enabling the fastest refresh rates, and the highest resolution

discs. Simply output 3D signals through the connected DisplayPort cable with your 3D 

display, then you can sit back and enjoy a perfect 3D animation experience.

mulit-channel audio and uncompressed digital video up to 4K/2K resolution visuals through 

a single cable. Supporting HDCP copy protection such as HD DVD and blu-ray discs, HDMI
