To promote interoperability between DVI-D and HDMI devices, HDMI source components and displays support DVI-D signalling. For example, an HDMI display can be driven by a DVI-D source because HDMI and DVI-D both define an overlapping minimum set of supported resolutions and frame buffer formats.

Some DVI-D sources use non-standard extensions to output HDMI signals including audio (e.g. [[Radeon R600|ATI 3000-series]] and [[GeForce 200 Seriesseries|NVIDIA GTX 200-series]]).<ref name="HDMI2006SpecsAppC">{{cite news |title=HDMI Specification 1.3a Appendix C |publisher=HDMI Licensing, LLC. |url=http://www.hdmi.org |format=PDF |date=2006-11-10 |access-date=2009-11-18}}</ref> Some multimedia displays use a DVI to HDMI adapter to input the HDMI signal with audio. Exact capabilities vary by video card specifications.

In the reverse scenario, a DVI display that lacks optional support for [[High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection|HDCP]] might be unable to display protected content even though it is otherwise compatible with the HDMI source. Features specific to HDMI such as remote control, audio transport, xvYCC and deep color are not usable in devices that support only DVI signals. HDCP compatibility between source and destination devices is subject to manufacturer specifications for each device.
