Appendix: Glossary

Fiber — Single-mode or multimode fiber cables.

EGA — The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is an old analog graphics standard, introduced by IBM® in 1984. It uses a DB9 connector.

FBAS — The analog color video baseband signal (FBAS) is also called Composite Video and it is part of the PAL TV standard.

Console — Keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

KVM — Keyboard, video, and mouse.

Mini-XLR — Industrial standard for electrical plug connections (3-pole) for the transmission of digital audio and control signals.

Multimode — 62.5-μ or 50-μ fiber cable.

OSD — An OSD (on-screen display) is used to display information or to operate a device.

Quad-Head — A system with four video connections.

RCA (Cinch) — A non-standardized plug connection that transmits electrical audio and video signals, especially with coaxial cables.

SFP — SFPs (Small Form Factor Pluggables) are pluggable interface modules for Gigabit connections. SFP modules are available for CATx and fiber interconnect cables.

S/PDIF — A digital audio interconnect used in consumer audio equipment over relatively short distances.

Single-Head — A system with one video connection.

Single Link — A DVI-D interface for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 by signal transmission of up to 165 MPixel/s (24-bit). Alternative frequencies are Full HD (1080p), 2K HD (2048 x 1080), and 2048 x 1152.

Single-Mode — 9μ fiber cable.

S-Video (Y/C) — The S-Video (Y/C) is a video format that transmits luminance and chrominance signals separately. It has a higher-quality standard than FBAS.

TOSLINK® — Standardized fiber connection system for digital transmission of audio signals (F05 plug connection).

Triple-Head — A system with three video connections.
