Clock
The analog signal input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the dot clock of the graphics system in use, when the analog signal
is converted to a digital signal for image display. This is called clock adjustment. If the clock pulse is not set correctly, some vertical bars appear on the
screen.

The DICOM compatible device connection enables to transfer the medical image and information. The DICOM, Part 14 document defines the digital,
grayscale medical image display.
DisplayPort
This is the interface standard for image signals standardized in accordance with VESA. It was developed with the aim of replacing the conventional DVI
and analog interfaces, and it can transmit high resolution signals and sound signals, which DVI does not support. The standard size and mini size
connectors have been standardized.
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.

changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume) passing through each color's filter.
