DVI (Digital Visual Interface) : A digital interface
standard created by the Digital Display Working Group
(DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to
accommodate both analog and digital monitors.
VGA (Video Graphics Array) : a common standard
graphics display system for PCs.
RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red
Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these
signals improves picture quality.
S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate Y/C video
signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.
The luminance signals Y (black and white) and
chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded
separately on the tape. This provides better picture
quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm)
where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only
one video signal.
16:9 : Refers to the ratio between the length and
height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have
a ratio of 16:9, conventional screen TV sets have a
ratio of 4:3.
