ID0 only may be used. Mono VGA is similar using only the Green Video and Return. VGA (VESA Standard) Note that many of the pins shown above as "no connects" (actually, these were sometimes used as monitor ID bits by many manufacturers) are now defined under the VESA Display Data Channel standard. This standard provides two protocols for display ID and control, including support for the full ACCESS.bus interface. The current definition of the "VGA" pinout per the DDC standard is: 1 Red (Analog) 2 Green (Analog) 3 Blue (Analog) 4 Reserved 5 Return 6 Red Return 7 Green Return 8 Blue Return 9 +5 VDC (frm host)* 10 Sync return 11 Monitor ID0 (opt.) 12 Data (SDA) 13 Horzontal Sync 14 Vertical Sync 15 Data clock (SCL)* Those signals marked with an asterisk would be supplied by the host only if the host supports the DDC2 protocol (I2C or ACCESS.bus).

Used primarily for Japanese digital satellite broadcasting, the resolutions are: D1 525 Interlaced D2 525 progressive D3 1125 Interlaced D4 750 progressive D5 1125 progressive Note that each is backward compatible. This means that a D5 TV can display all of these modes, where a D3 TV can only display D1-D3.
