Super VGA was defined by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), an open consortium set up to promote interoperability and define standards. When used as a resolution specification, the term SVGA normally refers to a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels. Super VGA was first defined in 1989. In that first version, it called for a resolution of 800 × 600 4-bit pixels. It was quickly extended to 1024 × 768 8-bit pixels, and well beyond that in the following years.
DVI-A (DVI-Analog) is an analog technology that is most commonly used in the PC world to connect Analog video cards to Analog monitors. Since DVI-A and SVGA are both analog signal types, both are easily converted from one to the other which makes it easy to find many inexpensive adapters and cables to convert SVGA to DVI-A or DVI-A to SVGA. DVI-A can easily be identified by the 4 pins surrounding the longest pin on the connector.
Super Video Graphics Array or Ultra Video Graphics Array, almost always abbreviated to Super VGA, Ultra VGA or just SVGA or UVGA is a broad term that covers a wide range of computer display standards.
DVI-I, or Digital Video Interface Technology Intergrated came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. DVI-I will support both Digital and analog video signals.
