DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine)
DICOM is a standard for digital imaging and communication for medical use developed by American
College of Radiology and National Electric Manufacturers Association.
DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a next-generation digital AV interface that allows connection of the PC, audio, imaging
devices, etc. to the monitor. One cable can transfer sound with images.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PC’s digital data without loss.
This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are two types of DVI connectors.
One is a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and
analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)
DVI DMPM is a digital interface power-saving function. The “Monitor ON (operating mode)” and
“Active Off (power-saving mode)” are indispensable for DVI DMPM as the monitor’s power mode.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music, etc.
This helps to transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via DVI terminal on
the output side and decoding them on the input side. Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if both of
the equipments on the output and input sides are not applicable to HDCP system.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to form images. This
monitor consists of 2048 horizontal pixels and 2560 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 2048 x 2560, all
pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).
TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)
A signal transmission system for digital interface.
