Recognizing the increasing use of digital displays in both home and corporate environments, NVIDIA� Corporation today announced a new AGP riser card technology initiative, called the Digital Display Port (DDP). NVIDIA�s DDP specification provides OEMs, system builders, and motherboard manufacturers an opportunity to offer end-users an inexpensive way�through the use of a low-cost AGP add-in card�to connect digital displays, including flat panel monitors and high-definition televisions, to PCs designed with an NVIDIA integrated graphics solution and an AGP expansion port. �PCs utilizing integrated graphics solutions, such as NVIDIA�s own nForce� Platform Processors, include an AGP port that often goes unused,� said Dan Vivoli, vice president of marketing at NVIDIA. �By multiplexing the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signal on the AGP bus, DDP provides a low-cost alternative that allows end users to upgrade to the latest in digital display technology, without having to compromise the high-performing graphics already integrated directly onto the motherboard.�
