Monoscopic
Images generated from a single view. Monoscopic imagery does not contain the
3D depth cues normally found in stereoscopic imagery.
Non-Interlaced
Non-interlaced displays draw each scan line during one refresh cycle; (one full
refresh is at 60Hz). As opposed to interlaced formats that draw odd scan lines in
one 60 Hz.
field and even lines in a second 60 Hz. field. This results in a 30Hz.
frame.
OCO
Octane Channel Option. This device enables users of Octane workstations to
generate standard VGA. In addition, it allows users to generate multiple video
channels for running V6 in stereo mode.
Overlap
This term indicates the percentage of the Field of View where one eye overlaps
with the other. The standard configuration for HMDs is full (100%) Overlap.
Position Sensor

RGB

Resolution
The resolution of LCD displays often counts the total number of color elements.
This number must then be divided by three to indicate the total number of triads.
This number may be used to compare to other displays, such as CRTs.
Setmon
SGI systems other than InfiniteReality machines use the setmon command to
change between various video format resolutions.
Sync
The timing component of the video signal. Depending on the particular video
format, sync may be combined with one of the colors, i.e., sync on Green. Or,
sync may be
transmitted independently (horizontal and vertical) on separate lines
as it is in VGA.
VGA
Video Format. Standard VGA is known as 640x480 at 60Hz with separate
horzontal and vertical components for sync.
