Color Space
YUV and RGB, etc. are available. YUV expresses the color by using the luminance (Y), the color
difference of Blue (U), and the color difference of Red (V). RGB does this by using the gradation of
the 3 colors, Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B).
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PC's digital data without
loss.
This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are two types of DVI
connectors. One is a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector
for both digital and analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)
DVI DMPM is a digital interface power saving function. The "Monitor ON (operating mode)" and
"Active Off (power saving mode)" are indispensable for DVI DMPM as the monitor's power mode.
FPS (First Person Shooter)
This refers to shooting games where the player(s) moves through the world in the game with a
first-person perspective as the main character, fighting enemies.
Gain
This is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays the
color by the light passing through the panel color filter. Red, green and blue are the three primary
colors. All the colors on the screen are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone
can be changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume) passing through each color's filter.
Gamma
Generally, the monitor brightness varies nonlinearly with the input signal level, which is called
"Gamma Characteristic". A small gamma value produces a low-contrast image, while a large
gamma value produces a highcontrast image.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
Digital signal coding system developed to copy-protect the digital contents, such as video, music,
etc.
This helps to transmit the digital contents safely by coding the digital contents sent via the DVI or
HDMI connector on the output side and decoding them on the input side.
Any digital contents cannot be reproduced if both of the equipments on the output and input sides
are not applicable to HDCP system.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface standard, developed for consumer electrical appliance or AV device.
This standard is issued on the basis of the DVI standard which is one of an interface specification
for the connection between a PC and a monitor. The projected image, sound and control signal
without compressed enable to be transmitted with one cable.
