Unlike the TTL connectors used in the early days of home computing and game consoles ( most notably the DE-9 connector originally found on the Atari VCS, which was the de facto standard on other systems ) the game port is analog rather than digital, relying on some form of analog-to-digital converter ( ADC ) to interpret joystick movements.

Unlike the HD system iBiquity calls " hybrid digital " the CAM-D system truly is a direct hybrid of both analog and digital.
