Google to the rescue! From <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DVI.html>

 (pronounced as separate letters) (1) Short for Digital Visual
 Interface, a digital interface standard created by the Digital Display
 Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to
 accommodate both analog and digital monitors. Data is transmitted using
 the transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) protocol,
 providing a digital signal from the PC's graphics subsystem to the
 display. The standard specifies a single plug and connector that
 encompass both the new digital and legacy VGA interfaces, as well as a
 digital-only plug connector. DVI handles bandwidths in excess of 160
 MHz and thus supports UXGA and HDTV with a single set of links. Higher
 resolutions can be supported with a dual set of links.
