How to tell which DVI cable you need
DVI (Digital Video Interface) first came to light when manufactures of computer graphics cards required a faster connection speed than the old VGA standard was capable of providing. When the LCD monitors came out it paved the way for a new video standard – DVI (although most of todays graphics cards now include both a VGA output port and a DVI output port). There are three types of DVI cable: DVI-D which is Digital, DVI-A which is Analog and DVI-I which is both Digital and Analog.
DVI-D cables also know as true digital video cables and are used for a true digital connection between two electronic components (normally a video card and an LCD monitor). All video cards ever created have always been able to create a digital output, the only downside before DVI came about was that this output had to be downgraded to analog before being sent to the monitor - where it was then converted back to digital by the monitor! Using a DVI-D cable means this process isn't required and therefore the end result is a very quick and extremely high quality visual output.
DVI-A cables also known as high resolution analog cables and are used to transmit a DVI signal to an analog display unit (normally a CRT monitor and becoming more used on HD televisions). Although this type of output isn't as good as DVI-D (due to the loss of data in the digital to analog conversion processes), it still gives a much improved output than the display from a standard VGA output.
DVI-I cables are capable of transmitting between two devices in either a digital to digital format or an analog to analog format, but (and that's a big BUT) it will not connect two dissimilar devices (i.e. digital to analog or analog to digital).
Note: DVI digital and DVI analog formats are not interchangeable, basically this means that a DVI-A cable will not work on a digital system and a DVI-D cable will not work on an analog system. You must know before purchasing a DVI cable what format your two devices are, remember that only equipment with a DVI port labeled DVI-I will accept both a DVI-A and DVI-D signal.
So how can you tell what type of DVI cable you currently have? The easiest way is to read the manual for the devices you are connecting, or by looking at the DVI cable. There are two ways to determine what DVI format a device is by looking at the end of the DVI cable face on: 1. There is always a flat pin on one side of the DVI cable, a flat pin alone denotes a DVI-D connector and a flat pin with four surrounding pins can be either a DVI-I or DVI-A connector. 2. The pins on the DVI cable denote whether the cable is single or dual link, 24 pins in 3 rows of 8 means it's a DVI dual cable, while two lots of 9 pins with a gap in the middle means you have a DVI single link cable. Note: To work out if a cable is DVI-I or DVI-A you need to look at the number of pins on the DVI cable end, 24 pins means you have a DVI-I cable and a set of 8 pins with a gap to a set of 4 pins denotes a DVI-A cable.

Understanding HDMI
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. Most electronic devices that are attached to television (i.e. DVD player) have to convert a digital signal into an analog output; this process downgrades the quality due to information loss incurred in this conversion process. However, with HDMI output you can transfer a digital signal (i.e. DVD player) digitally; this results in a pure digital stream sent via a HDMI cable direct to your HDMI or DVI television.
The HDMI standard was created by many of the leading manufacturers, these include: Panasonic, Hitachi, Philips, Sony, Thomson (RCA), Silicon Image and Toshiba. HDMI is not just a used in video transfer, it also has embedded multi-channel audio support.A lot of people out there find all these new "options" that have come with HD technology very confusing (i.e. Deep colour and DVD audio). So below is a brief guide to some of the options that are available below.
Deep colour: This in simple terms allows you HD television to go from a display using millions of colours to a display of billions of colours. It also increases the contrast ratio, therefore allowing more grey shades between white and black. Colour banding lines are completely eliminated and this gives the viewer unrivalled colour accuracy and vividness due to the smooth transitions and grading between colour and tone.
How much better is 1080p than 720p: In purely technical terms it’s 225%. The sound quality is also improved by a further 50% with the new totally lossless, bit-for-bit Dolby True HD and DTS Master HD multi channel audio content.
xvYCC / xv Colour: This is a new standard brought in with HDMI 1.3 (IEC 61966-2-4, more commonly known as xvYCC, the shorthand term for “Extended YCC Colorimetry for Video Applications”. This standard has the brand name “x.v.Colour”). This new standard has 1.8 times more display colours than the previous standard, enabling a more pleasurable viewing experience.
DVD audio: This digital format allows a range of audio channels from single through 5.1 channel surround sound. The audio quality of a DVD Audio disc can be substantially higher than a standard audio CD. DVD Audio supports bit depths up to 24-bit and sample rates up to 192 kHz, CD audio can only reach 16-bit and 44.1 kHz. Cabling has always been an issue with recent electronic advances, for example you need this type of cable and can’t go over a certain length, etc, etc. HDMI technology has been designed to use a standard copper cable construction. In order to allow cable manufacturers to improve their products through the use of new and emerging technologies, the HDMI standard specifies the required performance of a cable but does not specify a maximum cable length. Cables are now available in lengths of up to 15 meters.
In summary; HDMI digital interconnectivity provides a superior, uncompressed digital video and audio quality. A popular interface enabling the transmission of high definition data and various content, with a simple, user friendly connector that replaces the maze of cabling behind your television.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Great Plains Remote Support – overview
Microsoft Great Plains ERP has rich accounting and business processes automation functionality, however in this small article we would like to concentrate on remote support, version upgrade
GP technical problem solving scenarios and if you need to get info on specific GP modules features: GL, SOP, POP, etc. please find it in others GP related materials, such as module user manuals, whitepapers
1. ERP remote support technologies in general. Web session tools, such as gotomeeting, allow ERP consultants, being remote, lead web presentation, when your users, supposedly sitting in one conference room at your office and watching projected to the wall screen computer monitor. Web session allows consultant to take mouse and keyboard control as well as give it back to trainees
2. Phone conferencing. If you are in the same country, you can typically use your regular office phone and call to conference supporting phone from gotomeeting or other web conferencing service provider. If you are in several countries, the best and cost efficient solutions might be internet telephony, such as skype: if your remote users have skype ID – this is all you need to get everyone in the conference
3. Problem Solving advises. As, regardless of theoretical efficiency of web conferences, your human face-to-face interaction is to some extent restricted, there should be nurtured the culture of well structured technical questioning. For example, try to be very specific: what exactly you were doing, what error message you received (provide screen shots of error messages) – this technique will let technical support engineer to skip “clarification” phase and go down to the problem solving immediately
4. Version upgrade, data fixing remote support technologies. Web session being good for user training, is probably not optimal solution for day-to-day data repair tasks. Web session requires both sides to be in the session, which is not really required for data fixing scenarios – you as GP user, describe the issue and remote support technician will connect to your desktop remotely and will fix the problem when he will have this task to be scheduled by manager. Remote desktop technologies typically include VPN connection and Remote Desktops.
5. Customization Support and Design remotely. Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP has its own proprietary modification technology – Microsoft Dexterity, it can be developed remotely on local testing system, however in order to debug Dex customizations on your test environment, Dexterity installation on your remote connection server is recommended – this will reduce programmers getting-into-project curve
6. Version update hints. GP is currently on version 10.0 and if you are on earlier version: 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 or 9.0 – you should make your homework on upgrade scenarios. One of the examples would be migration from Pervasive SQL 2000 (former Btrieve) or Ctree/Faircom to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, or 2000
