DDC (Display Data Channel)
VESA provides the standardization for the interactive communication of the setting information, etc.
between a PC and the monitor.
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine)
The DICOM standard was developed by the American College of Radiology and the National Electrical
Manufacturer’s Association of the USA.
The DICOM compatible device connection enables to transfer the medical image and information. The
DICOM, Part 14 document defines the digital, grayscale medical image display.
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 the DVI or HDMI
connector 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 horizontal 1200 pixels and 1600 vertical pixels (GX240-CL), or horizontal 1536 pixels
and 2048 vertical pixels (GX340-CL). At a resolution of 1200 × 1600 (GX240-CL: Portrait orientation) or
1536 × 2048 (GX340-CL: Portrait orientation), all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).
TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)
A signal transmission system for digital interface.
