DVIdEO is a term that can refer to several different concepts, primarily related to video and its technical specifications.

One common meaning of DVIdEO pertains to digital video interfaces, particularly those developed by Silicon Image. This technology was a precursor to HDMI and was designed for transmitting uncompressed digital video and audio from a source device, such as a computer or DVD player, to a display like a monitor or television. DVIdEO utilized a connector and protocol that aimed for high-quality video reproduction, often supporting resolutions like 1080p. While DVIdEO itself has largely been superseded by HDMI due to HDMI's broader feature set and widespread adoption, its underlying principles of digital signal transmission contributed to the evolution of modern video interfaces.

In some contexts, DVIdEO might also be used more broadly to describe any form of digital video content or playback. This could encompass files stored digitally, streaming video services, or the general process of watching videos on digital devices. The "DVI" portion can be seen as standing for "Digital Video," and the "dEO" as a suffix implying a playback or display function. However, this broader usage is less common and more informal compared to its association with specific interface technologies. Understanding the context in which DVIdEO is used is key to interpreting its precise meaning.
