Pioneer HDTV & Computer DVI

Apologies if this is in the incorrect sub forum but I thought the right folks to know the answer would be in here.

So here goes, a friend of mine has splashed out on a high end Pioneer HDTV plasma screen and now wishes to hook it up to the computer via DVI so he asked me to take a look, unfortunately the unit has only one DVI connector which goes from the receiver to the screen so that cant be used. It does however have at the back a HDMI input even though the manual doesnt actually say anything is there in that location only a monitor output label with no connector shown ??

Anyway we have a DVI graphics card so would getting a DVI to HDMI cable allow him to output the computer screen onto the TV ?

Here is the cable in question I was looking at would this do

The Plasma screen & receiver are PDP-504HDE & PDP-434HDE in case thats of any use.
