System and method for DVI native and docking support

A method for presentation of display information from an information handling system, the method comprising:

• generating the display information as a DVO signal from a graphics component;
• selectively providing the DVO signal to one of a first or a second TMDS transmitter;
• transmitting display information from the first TMDS transmitter to a DVI connector coupled to a housing;
• and
• transmitting display information from the second TMDS transmitter to a DVI connector coupled to a docking station.

A system for managing output of a DVI signal, the system comprising:

• a selector operable to accept a DVO signal having display information;
• a first TMDS transmitter interfaced with the selector and operable to output the display information to a DVI connector at an information handling system housing;
• a second TMDS transmitter interfaced with the selector and operable to output the display information through a docking connector to a DVI connector at a docking station;
• and
• a selector output selector operable to provide the DVO signal to the first TMDS selector if the information handling system is not coupled to the docking station and further operable to provide the DVO signal to the second TMDS selector if the information handling system couples to the docking station.

A system for managing output of a DVI signal, the system comprising:

• a TMDS transmitter operable to accept a DVO signal having display information and to output the display information to a DVI connector at an information handling system housing;
• a selector interfaced with the TMDS transmitter and operable to switch the display information output by the TMDS transmitter to a DVI connector associated with an information handling system housing or a DVI connector associated with a docking connector;
• and
• a selector output selector operable to select the housing DVI connector if the information handling system is not coupled to the docking station and further operable to select the docking module connector if the information handling system couples to the docking station.
