Eizo CG245W Gamma, Hdcp High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection, Phase, Range Adjustment

Gamma

Generally, the monitor brightness varies nonlinearly with the input signal level, which is called “Gamma Characteristic”. A small gamma value produces a low-contrast image, while a large gamma value produces a highcontrast image.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents 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.

Rec709

Digital broadcasting (HDTV) standards defined by the ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union Radio Communication Sector).

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to form images. This monitor consists of 1920 horizontal pixels and 1200 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1920 x 1200, all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).

SMPTE-C

One of the standards provided by the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).

sRGB (Standard RGB)

“International Standard for Red, Green, and Blue color space” A color space was defined with the aim of the color matching between applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras. As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.
