DVI-I:
A combined signal (digital and analog) that allows running a VGA monitor
at a DVI-I port – in contrast to DVI-D (see DVI).
EGA:
The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is an old analog graphic standard,
introduced by IBM in 1984. A D-Sub 9 connector is used for connection.
Fiber:
Single-mode or multimode fiber cables.
KVM:
Keyboard, video, and mouse.
Mini-XLR:
Industrial standard for electrical plug connections (3-pole) for the
transmission of digital audio and control signals.
Multimode:
62.5µ multimode fiber cable or 50µ multimode fiber cable
OSD:
The on-screen display is used to display information or to operate a device.
Quad-Head:
A system with four video connections.
RCA (Cinch):
A non-standardized plug connection for transmission of electrical
audio and video signals, especially with coaxial cables
SFP:
SFPs (Small Form Factor Pluggable) are pluggable interface modules for
Gigabit connections. SFP modules are available for CATx and fiber interconnect
cables.
S/PDIF:
A digital audio interconnect that is used in consumer audio equipment
over relatively short distances.
Single-Head:
A system with one video connection.
Single Link:
A DVI-D interface for resolutions up to 1920x1200 by signal
transmission of up to 165 Mpixel/s (24-bit). Alternative frequencies are Full HD
(1080p), 2K HD (2048x1080) and 2048x1152.
Single-mode:
9µ single-mode fiber cable.
S-Video (Y/C):
The S-Video (Y/C) is a video format transmitting luminance and
chrominance signals separately. Thereby it has a higher quality standard than
CVBS.
TOSLINK
®
:
Standardized fiber connection system for digital transmission of audio
signals (F05 plug connection).
Triple-Head:
A system with three video connections.
