A D-Terminal or D-tanshi (Ｄ端子) is a type of analog video connector found on Japanese consumer electronics, typically HDTV, DVD, Blu-ray, D-VHS and HD DVD devices. It was developed by the EIAJ (Electronic Industry Association of Japan) in its standard, RC-5237, for use in digital satellite broadcast tuners. In appearance it is a small flat trapezic connector, the same connector as the AAUI connector used by Apple Computer for some time to connect to ethernet.

[edit] D1~D5 types

Two D-Video connectors (D4) on an HDTV. The much smaller D-Terminal should not be confused with the similarly-shaped but larger VGA connection.

A D-Terminal connector carries a component video signal (Y Pr Pb). A device with a D5 connector can understand and display the following video signals:

• D1 480i (525i)： 720×480 Interlace
• D2 480p (525p)： 720×480 Progressive
• D3 1080i (1125i)： 1920×1080 Interlace
• D4 720p (750p)： 1280×720 Progressive
• D5 1080p (1125p)： 1920×1080 Progressive

A device with a D-Terminal connector supports that level and lower D-Terminal signal. For example, a D4 connector can be used with a D4, D3, D2, or D1 signal, but not with a D5 signal.

It is possible to use a simple breakout cable to connect a D-Terminal connector to a standard 3 RCA jack or BNC component connection.^[1]
