Chapter 5 Reference
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.
Phase
Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase
adjustment is made to adjust the timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment be made after
the clock is adjusted correctly.
Range Adjustment
Range adjustment controls the signal output levels to display every color gradation. It is
recommended that range adjustment be made before color adjustment.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to form
images. This monitor consists of 1600 horizontal pixels and 1200 vertical pixels. At a resolution
of 1600 x 1200, all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).
Temperature
Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees
Kelvin. The screen becomes reddish at a low temperature, and bluish at a high temperature, like
the flame temperature.
5000K: Slightly reddish white
6500K: Warm white like paper white
9300K: Slightly bluish white
TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling)
A signal transmission system for digital interface.
VESA DPM (Video Electronics Standards Association - Display
Power Management)
VESA provides the standardization of signals from PC (graphics board) for power saving of PC
monitors. DPM defines the signal status between PC and monitor.
