Sync Signal

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 sync signals to the monitor.
Composite	This is a scheme of combining vertical 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.
Sync On Green	This scheme does not use sync signals. Instead, it combines horizontal and
	vertical sync signals into a Green signal and transmits to the monitor. It is mainly
	used for workstations.

Dot Pitch

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. In this case, flickering of the screen can be detected. To avoid this problem, there is a Flicker-free Mode using a vertical frequency over 70 Hz.

Horizontal Frequency

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 1024 X 768, this means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

A2

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.

Satellite Broadcasting

Broadcasting service provided via satellite. Enables high picture quality and clear sound throughout the country regardless of the location of the viewer.
