Proprietary status

Intel's non-standard addendum of the PCI accurate interface is accountable to a apparent appliance Mapping SDVO functions from PCI accurate interface (United States Appliance 20050172037) filed on 12 December 2003.
According to the Intel apparent application, the PCI Accurate accepted lacks a "mechanism to accomplish use of a agenda affectation codec application the PCI Accurate connector." This limitation is attributed to PCI Accurate defining alone a fixed-frequency interface with cogent packet encoding overheads, admitting "digital displays charge to accept capricious clocking and alteration ante and charge actual little aerial for the alteration of video data".
The apparent relates a "presence detect" apparatus to ascertain SDVO-type amplification cards and accredit a pin-remapping of the PCI Accurate atrium to back SDVO signals.
As of January 2007, Intel has not about accurate an absorbed to advance SDVO as an industry standard, admitting its abeyant account to any PCI accurate belvedere with an Integrated Graphics Processor (IGP), or the agreeableness from the customer angle that SDVO adaptor cards be accordant and advisedly changeable a part of all such systems.
Instead, Intel is actively announcement the development of SDVO drivers beyond the ample ambit of operating systems which run on the Intel 9xx platform. In particular, Intel has accustomed the website intellinuxgraphics.org to advance a absolutely accessible sourced drivers acknowledging all video technologies embodied in their 9xx-series platform.
The aftereffect is that SDVO cards are accordant with a attenuated ambit of Intel-only accouterments platforms, but a ample ambit of software environments aural that platform.
