System having capability for daisy-chained serial distribution of video display data

A serial display interface such as the VESA-Display Port interface is expanded to support daisy chained coupling of one display monitor to the next. Each daisy chain wise connectable display monitor has a local daisy chain transceiver device associated with it where the local transceiver device selectively picks off passing through video data streams in response to embedded MDID identification signals and forwards the selectively picked off data to the local monitor. The local transceiver device also relays the passing through video data streams on to more downstream devices of the daisy chain. In one embodiment, the daisy chain wise connectable display monitors are hot-pluggable and unpluggable.
