USB ja DisplayPort standardite arendajad avaldasid täna info, mille kohaselt peagi tootmisküpseks saav USB Type-C liides toetab ka DisplayPort ühendust. See tähendab ühtlasi, et vastava adapteriga on toetatud ka HDMI 2.0 ja DVI.

USB Type-C connector will also support DisplayPort: Finally, one cable will fit every hole

The USB Promoters Group and VESA have announced that the new reversible USB Type-C connector, along with supporting power delivery of up to 100 watts, will also support the simultaneous transport of DisplayPort 1.3 — and thus HDMI 2.0 and DVI will also work, with an adapter. Yes, it’s looking like USB 3.1 with the Type-C connector will finally be a workable all-in-one cabling solution. Thunderbolt, we hardly knew you.

It has been a busy few weeks for the USB Promoters Group — the consortium of tech companies that develop the USB standards. Last month, it announced that the long-sought-after reversible Type-C connector was finally ready for mass production — and then last week, it announced that the USB Power Delivery 2.0 spec had been finalized. The Power Delivery 2.0 spec didn’t appear to be very exciting at first glance, except for a rather mysterious new feature called “Alternate Modes.” Alternate Modes allows other, non-USB data to be carried over the USB 3.1 Type-C connector. At the time, it wasn’t clear what these Alternate Modes might be.

Now, VESA — the Video Electronics Standards Association — is announcing that it has developed a DisplayPort Alternate Mode standard for the USB Type-C connector. In short, with adequate support from device makers, this now means that dedicated display ports are no longer needed. Instead of having a range of DisplayPorts, HDMI ports, DVI ports, and USB ports, your device could simply have a bunch of USB Type-C ports.
