    The definition of a DVI connector includes a whole bunch of pins. Different sets of pins are used for different things. One set of pins is defined to carry analog signals rather than digital picture signals. If a connector does not implement the analog pins, it is a DVI-D (D for digital) connector.

    Connectors on video cards often have both the digital and analog signal pins so an adapter can be used to drive monitors which have only analog input.

    This site has a map that shows how the pins are grouped. http://www.interfacebus.com/Design_Connector_Digital_Visual_Interface_DVI_Bus.html
