| RGB | RGB is a type of component video output in which red, green, and blue image components are transmitted as separate signals over three separate wires. This allows for full bandwidth for each component. Different synchronization methods are available for RGB. | ||
| HDTV | High definition (HD) is a digital video image with at least two times the resolution of the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard or Phase Alternative Line (PAL) video. The high definition television (HDTV) aspect ratio is 16:9. By contrast, analog TV has a ratio of 4:3. Although the FCC has yet to establish a broadcast standard for HDTV, the SMPTE has proposed a high-definition television production standard consisting of 1125 lines, 2:1 interlace, 60 Hz field (30 fps), a 16:9 aspect ratio and 30 MHz RGB, and luminance bandwidth. | ||
| Radar | The input is a radar signal. | ||
| Sonar | The input is a sonar signal. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or proprietary signals. | ||

| Resolution | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| 640 x 480 (VGA) | Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a PC video display circuit and adapter that support text and graphics. Text is supported at a maximum resolution of 80x25 characters in 16 colors. Graphics are supported at a maximum resolution of 320x200 pixels in 256 colors, or 640x480 pixels in 16 colors. | ||
| 800 x 600 (SVGA) | Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) is a set of graphics standards designed to offer greater resolution than VGA. There are several varieties of SVGA, each providing a different resolution. All SVGA standards support a palette of 16 million colors, but the number of colors that can be displayed simultaneously is limited by the amount of video memory installed in a system. One SVGA system might display only 256 simultaneous colors while another displays the entire palette of 16 million colors. A consortium of monitor and graphics manufacturers called VESA develops the SVGA standards. | ||
| 1024 x 768 (XGA) | Extended Graphics Array (XGA). A high-resolution graphics standard introduced by IBM in 1990. XGA was designed to replace the older 8514/A video standard. It provides the same resolutions (640 by 480 or 1024 by 768 pixels), but supports more simultaneous colors (65 thousand compared to 8514/A's 256 colors). In addition, XGA allows monitors to be non-interlaced. | ||
| 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) | Super Extended Graphics Array (SXGA). A set of graphic standards designed to provide higher resolution than XGA. SXGA provides a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, greater than XGAs 1024 x 768 pixels. Like XGA, SXGA can display more than 16 million colors and can support 65 thousand colors simultaneously. | ||
| 1600 x 1200 (UXGA) | Ultra Extended Graphics Array (UXGA). A set of graphic standards designed to provide higher resolution than either XGA or SXGA. UXGA provides a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. As with XGA and SXGA, UXGA can display more than 16 million colors and can support 65 thousand colors simultaneously. | ||

| Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| NTSC | The National Television System Committee (NTSC) 525-line color-television standard used in North America and Japan. Approximately 480 lines hold image information and the remaining lines contain synchronization, time delay, and other encoded information such as closed caption text. The standard frame rate is 30 frames per second. | ||
| 3.58/4.43 NTSC | 3.58/4.43 NTSC is a version of the NTSC standard. | ||
| PAL | Phase Alternate Line (PAL), the European 625-line, 25-frame per second color-television standard. A modification of NTSC system used with the CCIR video norm. The phase of the color carrier is 180° shifted every image line, making the PAL system less sensitive to color signal phase distortion. It provides somewhat lower vertical resolution the NTSC system and requires complex processing equipment. | ||
| SECAM | Sequential Color And Memory (SECAM), translated from the French phrase Sequential Couleur Avec Memoire, is a composite color transmission system in which two color difference signals are transmitted on two separate lines. Memory is required to obtain both color difference signals for color decoding. This system is used in France and many East European, African, and Asian countries. | ||
| RS170 | RS170 is the standard black and white video format used in the United States (525 lines, 30 frames per second). It was originally defined by the EIA (Electronic Industry Association) standards organization for use in North America, Japan, and a few other parts of the world. The EIA standard defines only the monochrome picture component but is mainly used with NTSC or PAL color encoding standards. | ||
| CCIR | CCIR (Comité Consultatif International des Radio Communications, or International Radio Consultative Committee) is an international committee that sets and governs video signal standards. It merged with the ITU and became the ITU-R radio communications division. | ||
| RGB | RGB is a type of component video output in which red, green, and blue image components are transmitted as separate signals over three separate wires. This allows for full bandwidth for each component. Different synchronization methods are available for RGB. | ||
| HDTV | High definition (HD) is a digital video image with at least two times the resolution of the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard or Phase Alternative Line (PAL) video. The high definition television (HDTV) aspect ratio is 16:9. By contrast, analog TV has a ratio of 4:3. Although the FCC has yet to establish a broadcast standard for HDTV, the SMPTE has proposed a high-definition television production standard consisting of 1125 lines, 2:1 interlace, 60 Hz field (30 fps), a 16:9 aspect ratio and 30 MHz RGB, and luminance bandwidth. | ||

| RGB | RGB is a type of component video output in which red, green, and blue image components are transmitted as separate signals over three separate wires. This allows for full bandwidth for each component. Different synchronization methods are available for RGB. | ||
| Y PbPr | Y Pb-Pr is a component video format in which three signals (Y, R-Y, and B-Y) are transmitted via separate cables. | ||
| Y/C (S-Video) | S-Video or Y/C output contains two separate signals, luminance (Y) and color (C) transmitted on two separate cables. The C color component is modulated on the same 3.58 MHz subcarrier as it would be for NTSC output, but the bandwidth is not limited as it must be for Composite output. | ||
| Composite | Composite output format contains the red, green and blue components of the color (C) encoded or compressed, then superimposed on the luminance (Y) on a single signal. The RGB signals are decoded and reconstructed for image display, but the bandwidth limiting of the signal compression limits the subsequent color faithfulness. | ||
| Digital | The images and audio are represented by digital signals instead of analog signals. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted color output formats. | ||

| Controls | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Brightness | Brightness is the intensity of a color on a scale from black (no brightness) to white (maximum brightness). The combination of brightness, hue, and saturation determines the appearance of the colors of a polychromatic image, whereas the brightness alone determines the appearance of a monochromatic image's color. | ||
| Contrast | Contrast is the range of difference between the lightest and darkest values of a picture, or the maximum and minimum brightness values. | ||
| Saturation | Saturation is the strength or purity of a color. It represents the amount of gray in proportion to the hue, measured as a percentage from 0% (gray) to 100% (fully saturated). The color information of a video signal comprises hue (phase angle) and saturation (amplitude). | ||
| Zoom | Zoom is the the enlarging or minimizing of an image on a computer monitor to facilitate ease of viewing and accurate editing. | ||
| Freeze | Freeze is a technique in which a particular frame of video is held onscreen. Sometimes the audio portion of the scene continues playing. | ||
| Genlock Adjustment | The device permits genlock adjustment. Genlock is a type of control that allows the user to put the converted output from the scan converter "in sync" with another video source. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or proprietary controls. | ||
