1.3.2.1 Video Signal Amplitudes
The three video inputs consist of Red , Green ,
and Blue signals, each with its own coaxial cable
terminated at the monitor. These video signals are
analog levels, where 0 V corresponds to black ,
and 700 mV is the maximum signal amplitude for
the respective color, when each signal is
terminated by a nominal 75.0 ohms .For a given
monitor luminance levels are measured using this
defined video amplitude driving a monitor meeting
the termination requirements . The signal
amplitude is not to be readjusted to compensate
for variations in termination impendence.
1.3.2.2 Video Signal Termination Impedance
This analog video signal termination shall be 75
1% which shall be resistive with a negligible reactive
component.
1.3.2.3 Synchronization ( Sync ) Signals
The Horizontal Sync (HS) TTL signal is used to initiate
the display of a horizontal line. HS may be either active
high or active low, depending upon the timing .The
Vertical Sync (VS) TTL signal is used to initiate the
display of a new frame .VS may be either active high or
active low, depending on the timing .
1.3.2.4 Sync Signal Levels
The monitor must accept sync signals from both 3.3 and
5 volt TTL logic families.The inputs shall sense a logic 0
when the input is 0.8 volt or less and shall sense a logic
1 when the input is 2.0 volts or greater. In addition to
these level requirements , there shall also be a
minimum of 0.3 volt hysteresis provided for noise
immunity (typically by using a Schmitt Trigger input ).
That is , the input level at which the monitor actually
detects a logic 0 shall be at least 0.3 volt lower than the
level at which it actually detects a logic 1.If the monitor
sync processing circuits are designed around the 3.3
volt logic family ,then the sync inputs must be 5 volt
tolerant .
1.3.2.5 Sync Signal Loading
TTL input loading shall be equivalent to one TTL input
load. When logic 0 is asserted by a sync input , the
maximum current source from any single monitor sync
input to the driver is 1.6 mA .When logic 1 is asserted ,
the maximum current source from the driver to any
single monitor sync input is 400 uA .
1.3.2.6 Abnormal Signal Immunity
The monitor shall not be damaged by improper sync
timing , pulse duration , or absence of sync , or
abnormal input signal amplitude ( video and/ or sync too
large or too small) , or any other anomalous behavior of
a graphics card video generator when changing modes
, or when any combination of input signals is removed
or replaced . Additionally , under these conditions , the
monitor shall not cause damage to the driving source .

modes. These modes have a factory pre-set
for all characteristics affecting front-of-screen
performance. When the system is powered
on, previously stored screen parameters for a
pre-defined mode will be recalled if the
operating mode is one of those stored in
memory. If the operating mode is not one of
those stored in memory, the monitor CPU will
select the PRESET timing for a mode that is
the next lowest in horizontal scanning
frequency to the mode being currently used.
The screen parameters may be adjusted by
the use of the front bezel controls and then
may be saved as a user defined mode. The
monitor shall include all the preset video
timings shown in the following page.( Please
see Note. (3) )
1.3.4.3 Mode Recognition Pull-in
The monitor shall recognize preset modes
within a range of 1KHz whichever is less for
horizontal ; and within 1Hz for vertical.
1.3.4.4 User Display Modes
In addition to the factory pre-set video modes,
provisions shall be made to store up to 9
user modes. If the current mode is a user
mode, the monitor shall select its previously
stored settings. If the user alters a setting, the
new setting will be stored in the same user
mode. The user modes are not affected by
the pre-set command. If the input signal
requires a new user mode, storage of the new
format is automatically performed during user
adjustment of the display (if required).( Please
see Note.(4) )
1.3.5.3 Panel Timing and Interface
The controller supplied with the monitor shall
control all panel timing. This controller shall
adequately insulate the monitor from the computer,
so that no possible combination of input signals
from the computer shall cause damage to the flat
panel or any other component of the
