1080p
The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines), while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced).
The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines), while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced).
The number 720 stands for the 720 horizontal scan lines of display resolution (also known as 720 pixels of vertical resolution), while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced.
In telecommunications, 8b/10b is a line code that maps 8-bit symbols to 10-bit symbols to achieve DC-balance and bounded disparity, and yet provide enough state changes to allow reasonable clock recovery.
The BNC (Bayonet Neill Concelman) connector is a very common type of RF connector used for terminating coaxial cable.
Cat5e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk.
Category 3 cable, commonly known as Cat 3, is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable designed to reliably carry data up to 10 Mbit/s, with a possible bandwidth of 16 MHz.
Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity.
Cat 5 e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk.
Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards.
Category 6a (or Augmented Category 6) operates at frequencies up to 550 MHz—twice that of Cat 6. It can support 10 Gbit/s applications (especially 10GBaseT) up to a maximum distance of 100 meters.
CAT7 features even more strict specifications for crosstalk and system noise than CAT6. To achieve this, shielding has been added for individual wire pairs and the cable as a whole.
The term coaxial comes from the inner conductor and the outer shield sharing the same geometric axis.
Component video is a video signal that has been split into two or more components.
Composite video is the format of an analog television (picture only) signal before it is combined with a sound signal and modulated onto an RF carrier.
DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) since 2006. It defines a new royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.
PCP (DisplayPort Content Protection) is an optional copy-protection from Philips, which uses 128-bit AES encryption, with modern cryptography ciphers. It also features full authentication and session key establishment (each encryption session is independent).
DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection) is an optional copy-protection from Philips, which uses 128-bit AES encryption, with modern cryptography ciphers.
DVI, or Digital Video Interface Technology came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior.
DVI-A (DVI-Analog) is an analog technology that is most commonly used in the PC world to connect Analog video cards to Analog monitors.
Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. DVI-D will support only Digital video signals.
DVI-I will support both Digital and analog video signals.
A gender changer is a hardware device placed between two cable connectors of the same type and gender.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across DisplayPort, Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), or Unified Display Interface (UDI) connections.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data.
