VESA VIP 1.1 Standard pinout

I've been searching for the pinout descriptions for the VESA VIP 1.1 standard. The VIP connector I have is on my ASUS V8200 deluxe (GeForce 3) video card. I would be most appreciative if someone could enlighten me.
Thanks, Bryan J

Bryan,

Attached is an XCard board layout and VIP connector pin out. I do believe that the 26 pin VIP 1.1 connections are standard so your ASUS board should line up to these same pin definitions. Some video boards (old ATI's) have an extended VIP connector (30 pins if I recall correctly) but pins 1-26 are VIP 1.1 standard. According to Sigma tech support, the Xcard only uses 9 of those signal lines plus a ground.

1 DATA00
2 GND
3 DATA01
5 DATA02
7 DATA03
9 DATA04
11 DATA05
13 DATA06
15 DATA07
17 CLOCK

I confirmed this to be true when I connected a 20 pin VIA VIP-02 connector to an Xcard using 9 pins plus a few grounds.

Mediahome, SHS, Thanks for the good information..
My ASUS card VIP connector has pin 1 on the lower left:
Top
02-04-06-etc
01-03-05-etc

and the xcard VPE connector is pin 1 upper right:
Top
01-03-05-etc
02-04-06-etc

(which is backwards) (or the VIP is backwards) (or mabye it's supposed to be that way?)

Just trying to find the specs on the VESA VIP port so I can match the pin descriptions to the known xcard VPE pin descriptions.

Also, Is the VPE connector on the xcard compatible with both VESA VIP 1.1 & 2.0?

Thanks.. Bryan J
