VESA DisplayPort Standard
Version 1, Revision 1a
January 11, 2008
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define a flexible system and apparatus capable of transporting video, audio
and other data between a Source Device and a Sink Device over a digital communications interface.
Summary
The DisplayPort™ standard specifies an open digital communications interface for use in both internal
connections, such as interfaces within a PC or monitor, and external display connections, including interfaces
between a PC and monitor or projector, between a PC and TV, or between a device such as a DVD player and
TV display.
DisplayPort.1.1a is revised to correct errata items in, and add clarifications to, DisplayPort Standard 1.1.
