Integrated Graphics Display Port
When choosing cables, it is important to remember:
• Use controlled impedance media. The differential impedance of cable LVDS uses shall be
100
Ω. Cables shall not introduce major impedance discontinuities that cause signal reflection.
• Balanced cables (twisted pair) are usually better than unbalanced cables (ribbon cable,
multi-conductor) for noise reduction and signal quality.
• Cable length must be less than 16 inches.
6.3 Digital Video Out Port
The GMCH DVO port interface supports a wide variety of third party DVO-compliant devices
(e.g., TV encoder, TMDS transmitter or integrated TV encoder and TMDS transmitter). The
82855GME has two dedicated Digital Video Out Ports (DVOB and DVOC). Intel’s DVO port is a
1.5 V only interface that may support transactions up to 165 MHz. Some of the DVO port
command signals may require voltage translation circuit depending on the third party device.
