Japanese D Connector

Now that the GameCube is out supporting (apparently) progressive component output, this pinout is suddenly relevant. And now that I've found it, I'm gonna give it to you. Special thanks to the Japanese site I found it on.

There are so far five D connector types, each a higher resolution than the last. Used primarily for Japanese digital satellite broadcasting, the resolutions are:

D1525Interlaced
D2525progressive
D31125Interlaced
D4750progressive
D51125progressive

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.
