Analog television

Analog television is the original television technology that uses analog signals to transmit video and audio.

See VGA connector and Analog television

Bandwidth (signal processing)

Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous band of frequencies.

See VGA connector and Bandwidth (signal processing)

BNC connector

The BNC connector (initialism of "Bayonet Neill–Concelman") is a miniature quick connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable.

See VGA connector and BNC connector

Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.

See VGA connector and Coaxial cable

Color Graphics Adapter

The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), originally also called the Color/Graphics Adapter or IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter, introduced in 1981, was IBM's first color graphics card for the IBM PC and established a de facto computer display standard.

See VGA connector and Color Graphics Adapter

Component video

Component video is an analog video signal that has been split into two or more component channels.

See VGA connector and Component video

Compression artifact

A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression.

See VGA connector and Compression artifact

Crosstalk

In electronics, crosstalk is a phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one circuit or channel of a transmission system creates an undesired effect in another circuit or channel.

See VGA connector and Crosstalk

D-subminiature

The D-subminiature or D-sub is a common type of electrical connector. VGA connector and d-subminiature are computer connectors.

See VGA connector and D-subminiature

Digital Visual Interface

Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). VGA connector and Digital Visual Interface are computer connectors.

See VGA connector and Digital Visual Interface

Display Data Channel

Display Data Channel (DDC) is a collection of protocols for digital communication between a computer display and a graphics adapter that enable the display to communicate its supported display modes to the adapter and that enable the computer host to adjust monitor parameters, such as brightness and contrast.

See VGA connector and Display Data Channel

Display resolution standards

A display resolution standard is a commonly used width and height dimension (display resolution) of an electronic visual display device, measured in pixels.

See VGA connector and Display resolution standards

DisplayPort

DisplayPort (DP) is a proprietary digital display interface developed by a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers and standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). VGA connector and DisplayPort are computer connectors.

See VGA connector and DisplayPort

Enhanced Graphics Adapter

The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is an IBM PC graphics adapter and de facto computer display standard from 1984 that superseded the CGA standard introduced with the original IBM PC, and was itself superseded by the VGA standard in 1987.

See VGA connector and Enhanced Graphics Adapter

Extended Display Identification Data

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) and Enhanced EDID (E-EDID) are metadata formats for display devices to describe their capabilities to a video source (e.g., graphics card or set-top box).

See VGA connector and Extended Display Identification Data

Generation loss

Generation loss is the loss of quality between subsequent copies or transcodes of data.

See VGA connector and Generation loss

Ghosting (television)

In television, a ghost is a replica of the transmitted image, offset in position, that is superimposed on top of the main image.

See VGA connector and Ghosting (television)

Graphics card

A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor.

See VGA connector and Graphics card

HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device. VGA connector and HDMI are computer connectors.

See VGA connector and HDMI

Hercules Graphics Card

The Hercules Graphics Card (HGC) is a computer graphics controller formerly made by Hercules Computer Technology, Inc. that combines IBM's text-only MDA display standard with a bitmapped graphics mode, also offering a parallel printer port.

See VGA connector and Hercules Graphics Card

High-definition television

High-definition television (HDTV) describes a television or video system which provides a substantially higher image resolution than the previous generation of technologies.

See VGA connector and High-definition television

Horizontal scan rate

Horizontal scan rate, or horizontal frequency, usually expressed in kilohertz, is the number of times per second that a raster-scan video system transmits or displays a complete horizontal line, as opposed to vertical scan rate, the number of times per second that an entire screenful of image data is transmitted or displayed.

See VGA connector and Horizontal scan rate

Hot swapping

Hot swapping is the replacement or addition of components to a computer system without stopping, shutting down, or rebooting the system; hot plugging describes the addition of components only.

See VGA connector and Hot swapping

I²C

I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit; pronounced as “” or “”), alternatively known as I2C or IIC, is a synchronous, multi-controller/multi-target (historically-termed as master/slave), single-ended, serial communication bus invented in 1982 by Philips Semiconductors.

See VGA connector and I²C

IBM

International Business Machines Corporation (using the trademark IBM), nicknamed Big Blue, is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York and present in over 175 countries.

In computing, a plug and play (PnP) device or computer bus is one with a specification that facilitates the recognition of a hardware component in a system without the need for physical device configuration or user intervention in resolving resource conflicts.

See VGA connector and Plug and play

Refresh rate

The refresh rate, also known as vertical refresh rate or vertical scan rate in reference to terminology originating with the cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), is the number of times per second that a raster-based display device displays a new image.
