ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Serial Digital Video Out

Okay, imagine you have a special kind of TV that can only understand pictures if they come in one at a time, like one after the other, in a very specific order. This is kind of like how you read a book - you can only understand it if the words come in a specific order.

Now, let's say you have a device that has pictures and you want to show them on this special TV. You can't just send all the pictures at once, because the TV won't understand them. Instead, you have to send them one at a time, in the right order.

This is what serial digital video out does - it sends pictures from a device to a TV one at a time, in the right order. It's kind of like sending a bunch of letters in an envelope to someone, but instead of all the letters being in the envelope at once, you send them one by one.

That's how serial digital video out works - sending pictures one at a time in the right order, so your special TV can understand them and show you a beautiful picture.
