There are many characteristics of the video streams such as frame rate, interlaced vs progressive, aspect ratio,
stereoscopic, color space and color depth. We will review the major parameters that will be used in the calculation of
the data transfer rate in the later sections of the document.
2.1. Video Resolution and Pixel Clock
The video resolution is quoted as Width x Height, with the unit in pixels: for example, 1920x1080 means the horizontal
width is 1920 pixels and the vertical height is 1080 lines.
Figure 2.2 shows the chart of the common display resolutions.

There are two major types of video format standards: SMPTE/CEA defines video standards for the Television and broadcast;
VESA Display Monitor Timing (DMT) standard defines the video standards for the computer monitors.
Table 2.1 lists the
most common video resolutions. Among them, we choose HD (1280x720p), FHD (1920x1080p) and UHD (3840x2160p) as
examples to calculate the bandwidth and data rate in the later sections.
