Introduction to the NEC
MultiSync LCD1525X
Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC MultiSync LCD1525X true
colour monitor!
ambix Technology: Dual input technology allowing both analog and
digital inputs through one connector (DVI-I) as well as additional legacy
analog support through a traditional 15-pin VGA connector. Provides
traditional MultiSync technology compatibility for analog as well as
TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal) based digital
compatibility for digital inputs. TMDS-based digital interfaces include
DVI-D, DFP and P&D.
DVI-I: The integrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working
Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog connectors through
one port. The "I" stands for integration for both digital and analog. The
digital portion is TMDS based.
DVI-D: The digital only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display
Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between computers and
displays. As a digital only connector, analog support is not provided for
through a DVI-D connector. As a TMDS based digital only connection,
only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and
other TMDS based digital connectors such as DFP and P&D.
DFP: Digital Flat Panel - An all digital interface for flat panel monitors
signal compatible with DVI. As TMDS based digital only connection, only
a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DFP and other
TMDS based digital connectors such as DVI and P&D.
P&D: Plug and Display - The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor
interfaces. It is more robust than DFP since it allows for other options
through a single connector (options like USB, analog video and
IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committee has recognized that DFP is a
subset of. P&D. As a TMDS based connector (for the digital input pins),
only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between P&D and
other TMDS based digital connectors such as DVI and DFP.
