From left to right: Headphone, USB and Micro-DVI ports on a MacBook Air
The Micro-DVI port is a video connection port used by the Asus U2E Windows Vista PC and Early 08 Apple MacBook Air laptop computers. It is smaller than the Mini-DVI port used by its MacBook sister models. To use the port for displaying video on a monitor or television that has a different-style connector, an adapter must be used. Both a Micro-DVI to DVI adapter and a Micro-DVI to VGA adapter were included with previous versions of the MacBook Air.[1]
The Micro-DVI to DVI adapter is a DVI-D (digital only) compatible port, and is incompatible with DVI-I and DVI-A connectors as it does not have the necessary connections to the analog pins.
The Micro-DVI port was discontinued and was replaced with the newer Mini DisplayPort connector when the MacBook Air was updated at the Apple Special Event on October 14, 2008.
