Terminology
480i / 480p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p____ Each of the scanning rates above refers to the number of effective
scanning lines that decides the screen resolution. The scanning rate may be indicated in i (interlaced) or p
(progressive), depending on the scanning method.
- Scanning
Scanning refers to a process of sending pixels that form an image progressively. A larger number of pixels will
deliver a clearer and more vivid picture.
- Progressive
In progressive scan mode, all lines of pixels are scanned one by one (progressively) on the screen.
- Interlaced
In interlaced scan mode, every other line of pixels is scanned from top to bottom first and then the remaining
lines of pixels (that were not scanned) are scanned.
Non-interlace Mode and Interlace Mode____ Non-interlace mode (progressive scan) displays a horizontal
line from the top to the bottom of a screen progressively. Interlace mode displays the odd number lines first
and the even number lines next. Non-interlace mode is mainly used in monitors as it produces screen clarity
and interlace mode is mainly used in TVs.

Dot Pitch____ The product and screen consist of red, green and blue dots. A shorter distance between the
dots produces a higher resolution. Dot pitch refers to the distance between the shortest distance between
dots of the same color. Dot pitch is measured in millimeters.
Vertical Frequency____ The product displays a single image many times per second (like a fluorescent light
that flickers) to display an image for a viewer to see. The rate of a single image being displayed repeatedly per
second is called vertical frequency or refresh rate. Vertical frequency is measured in Hz.
E.g. 60Hz refers to a single image being displayed 60 times in one second.

Horizontal Frequency____ The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the
screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency.
Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz.

Source____ Input source refers to a video source device connected to the product such as a camcorder or
video or DVD player.

Component ports (green, blue and red)____ The component ports, which identify, transmit and receive
contrast signals, provide superior picture quality to any other video connection methods.

Plug & Play____ Plug & Play is a function that allows the automatic exchange of information between a
monitor and PC to produce an optimum display environment. The product uses VESA DDC (international
standard) to execute Plug & Play.

Resolution____ Resolution is the number of horizontal dots (pixels) and vertical dots (pixels) that form a
screen. It represents the level of display detail. A higher resolution enables more data to be displayed on the
screen and is useful to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
E.g. A resolution of 1920 X 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1,080 vertical
pixels (vertical resolution).
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)____ DVD refers to a CD-sized mass storage disk where you can save multimedia
(audio, video or game) applications using MPEG-2 video compression technology.

Multiple Display Control (MDC)____ MDC (Multiple Display Control) is an application that allows multiple
display devices to be controlled simultaneously using a PC. Communication between a PC and monitor takes
place using RS232C (serial data transmission) and RJ45 (LAN) cables.
