Sync (Synchronized) Signals refer to the standard signals that are required to display desired colors on 
the monitor. They are divided into Vertical and Horizontal Sync Signals. These signals display normal 
color images by the set resolution and frequency.  
 
Types of Sync Signals 

 
 

Separate

This is a scheme of transmitting individual vertical and horizontal sync signals to 
the monitor.

Composite

This is a scheme of combining vertical and horizontal sync signals into one 
composite signal and transmitting it to the monitor. The monitor displays the 
color signals by separating the composite signal into original color signals.

The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the 
resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm 
 
 
Vertical Frequency 

The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the 
user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz 
 

 

 

Example:

If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz. 

The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called 
Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz 
 
 
Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods 

Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the Non-
Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. 
The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace 
method is the same as that used in TVs. 
 
 
Plug & Play  

This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the 
monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international standard VESA 
DDC for the Plug & Play function. 
 
 
Resolution 

The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called 'resolution'. 
This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as 
more image information can be shown on the screen.  
 

Example:  If the resolution is 1920 x 1200 , this means the screen is composed of 1920 horizontal 

dots (horizontal resolution) and 1200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

This system uses two carriers to transmit voice data. Countries such as South Korea and Germany use 
this system. 
 
 
BTSC

Broadcast Television System Committee 
The stereo broadcasting system that is used in most of the countries that have adopted the NTSC 
system, including the United States, Canada, Chile, Venezuela and Taiwan. It also refers to the 
organization that has been organized to promote its development and management. 
 
 
EIAJ

Electronic Industries Association of Japan. 
 
 
RF Cable

A round signal cable generally used for TV antennas.
