D-Terminal

<p>The D-Terminal or D-tanshi (Ｄ端子) is a type of analog video connector found on Japanese consumer electronics, typically <a href="/facts/High-definition_television/AuE6FRFI">HDTV</a>, <a href="/facts/DVD/7fJsHJrN">DVD</a>, <a href="/facts/Blu-ray/zyPalhfG">Blu-ray</a>, <a href="/facts/D-VHS/T73TTUBC">D-VHS</a> and <a href="/facts/HD_DVD/ULvpqYxb">HD DVD</a> devices. It was developed by the <a href="/facts/Electronic_Industries_Association_of_Japan/rGGm77lR">EIAJ</a> (Electronic Industry Association of Japan) in its standard, RC-5237, for use in digital satellite broadcast tuners.  In appearance it is a small flat trapezoidal connector, the same connector as the <a href="/facts/Apple_Attachment_Unit_Interface/07N75RKb">AAUI</a> connector used by <a href="/facts/Apple_Computer/oTJYta3k">Apple Computer</a> for some time to connect to <a href="/facts/Ethernet/nMfhU8tU">ethernet</a>.
