A DICOM-compatible device connection enables the transfer of medical images and information. Part 14 of DICOM defines the standards for digital, grayscale medical image display.

DVI

(Digital Visual Interface)

A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data without loss and directly from the PC using the signal transition method “TMDS” (see p. 33).

There are two kinds of DVI connectors: the DVI-D connector for digital signal input only, and the DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.

DVI DMPM

(DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)

The Power management system for the digital interface. The “Monitor ON” status (operation mode) and the “Active Off” status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the monitor's power mode.

Resolution

As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.

TMDS
