Sun manufactures high end computers that are capable of very high resolutions. They are able to output these various resolutions from the same card, this is determined at boot up by the manner in which sense lines (ID Bits) are terminated within the local monitor.
| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground* |
| 2 | VSYNC | Vertical Sync* |
| 3 | SENSE2 | Sense #2 |
| 4 | SENSEGND | Sense Ground |
| 5 | CSYNC | Composite Sync |
| 6 | HSYNC | Horizontal Sync* |
| 7 | GND | Ground* |
| 8 | SENSE1 | Sense #1 |
| 9 | SENSE0 | Sense #0 |
| 10 | CGND | Composite Ground |
| R | RED | Red |
| G | GREEN/GRAY | Green/Gray |

Monitor-sense bits defined as:
| Value | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ? |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Reserved |
| 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1280 x 1024 76Hz |
| 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1152 x 900 66Hz |
| 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1152 x 900 76Hz 19 |
| 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | Reserved |
| 6 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1152 x 900 76Hz 16-17 |
| 7 | 1 | 1 | 1 | No monitor connected |
Besides the classic pinning there is also a DDC pinning used for the newer monitors and at least the Expert-3D graphics adapter:
| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DDC-SCL | |
| 2 | NC | |
| 3 | NC | |
| 4 | DDC GND | DDC Ground |
| 5 | CSYNC | Composite Sync |
| 6 | DDC-SDA | |
| 7 | VSYNC | |
| 8 | NC | |
| 9 | NC | |
| 10 | SGND | SYNC Ground |
| R | RED | Red |
| G | GREEN/GRAY | Green/Gray |
| B | BLUE | Blue |
