Chapter 9 Glossary

Gamma

Generally, the monitor brightness varies nonlinearly with the input signal level, which is called

“Gamma Characteristic”. When the gamma value is low, the middle tone area is displayed brighter,

and darker when high. Changes to the gamma value will not affect contrast. A gamma value

appropriate for the display content should be selected.

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-Denition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 specication

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.

L* is a lightness value based on the CIELUV and CIELAB color spaces. CIELUV and CIELAB are

color spaces that describe the relationship between color and human vision, in which L*

corresponds to perceived brightness.

Rec709

Digital broadcasting (HDTV) standards dened by the ITU-R (International Telecommunication

Union Radio Communication Sector).

Rec1886

Standards for the input/output characteristics of at panel displays used in studio production for

digital broadcasting (HDTV) specied by the ITU-R based on CRT characteristics.

Resolution

The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specied size, which are illuminated to form images.

This monitor consists of horizontal 1920 pixels and 1200 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1920 ×

1200, all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).

SMPTE-C

One of the standards provided by the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).

sRGB (Standard RGB)

International standard for color reproduction and color space among peripheral devices (such as

monitors, printers, digital cameras, scanners). As a form of simple color matching for the Internet,

colors can be displayed using tones close to those of the transmission and reception devices.
