     30The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) 
     31which is a serial channel through the VGA monitor connector 
     32to a DDC-compliant monitor. This interface is defined by the 
     33Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The standards 
     34are available for purchase at http://www.vesa.org .

    2938chips to the video card such as a TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly
