Because P&D was a physically large, expensive connector, a consortium of companies developed the DFP standard (1999), which was focused solely on digital video transmission using a 20-pin [[micro ribbon connector]] and omitted the analog video and data capabilities of P&D.<ref name=Manchester99/>{{rp|3}}<ref name=DVI-whitepaper>{{cite report |url=https://www.fpga4fun.com/files/WP_TMDS.pdf |title=Digital Visual Interface & TMDS Extensions |date=October 2004 |publisher=Silicon Image |access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref>{{rp|4}} DVI instead chose to strip just the data functions from P&D, using a 29-pin MicroCross connector to carry digital and analog video.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.molex.com/mx_upload/family/microcross_dvi/082mcdvi.pdf |title=MicroCross DVI Connector System: Digital Visual Interface Standard |publisher=Molex |date=December 2000 |access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref> Critically, DVI allows dual-link TMDS signals,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/276/2/molex_dvi%20technical1-1185865.pdf |title=MicroCross DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Connector System |publisher=Molex |date=November 1999 |access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref> meaning it supports higher resolutions than the single-link P&D and DFP connectors, which led to its successful adoption as an industry standard. Compatibility of DVI with P&D and DFP is accomplished typically through passive adapters that provide appropriate physical interfaces, as all three standards use the same DDC/EDID handshaking protocols and TMDS digital video signals.<ref name=DVI1.0 >{{cite web |url=http://glenwing.github.io/docs/DVI-1.0.pdf |title=Digital Visual Interface Revision 1.0 |date=2 April 1999 |publisher=Digital Display Working Group |access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref>{{rp|§1.3.7}}
