What's this DVI socket?

Why are there so many different types of DVI socket? And what's the one on the left?

Is it on a dell? ATI make cards like this. I think they are called DOV cards

...yeah, it's a Dell - I've just discovered I can find it by Googling 59 pin DVI.

Its a DMS-59. You can get them from most suppliers.

OK - cheers!

OK - cheers!

 

Do you want one of those 2 dvi outputs or 1 of those to 2 vga outputs?

I've also seen those as an input dongle on sanyo projectors...

We bought a few of those by accident thanks to the crappy terms in use. They're used by the old majority of multi-head graphics cards. It's annoyingly difficult to find DVI to DVI & VGA splitters from anywhere except RM, who've got a stupid delivery delay!

DMS-59 isn't that common on regular desktop graphics cards, mainly on workstation/professional cards such as nVidia Quadro and AMD FirePro cards.
