The aspect ratio on standard TVs is 4:3 and on wide TVs or High Definition TVs it is 16:9. ○ ○ 10 6 15 11 Pin No. Input 1 R or CR/PR 2 G or Y 3 B or CB/PB 4 NC (No Connection) 5 GND 6 GND 7 GND 8 GND 9 DDC + 5V 10 GND 11 NC (No Connection) 12 DDC SDA 13 HD or H/V SYNC 14 VD 15 DDC SCL ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ S jack (S VIDEO jack) This jack separates and transmits the video signal as two signals; the luminance (Y) signal and the color(C) signal. Because of this, picture reproduction is superior to that obtained at the composite input/output jacks. S-video signal The video signal is composed of two signals; the chroma signal (color signal) which reproduces color and the luminance signal which reproduces light and darkness. With standard video components, these two signals are combined into one and are handled as a video signal referred to as the "composite signal". The S-video signal, however, is a signal that handles these two signals separately. Because they are not combined as in the composite video signal, the high quality of both signals can be retained. S1 VIDEO signal/S2 VIDEO signal This refers to signals that include wide screen picture data such as squeeze or letterbox data with the color signal (C) that is input through the S VIDEO jack. Component video signal General term for video signal format composed of the Y.CB.CR, Y.PB.PR and Y.B-Y.R-Y luminance signal + color signal. The component video signal is sometimes simply called the "color difference signal". ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ○ ○ ○ ○ G ON SYNC This indicates a video signal in the form of a synchronization signal added to the G (GREEN) signal of the R.G.B signal. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ VGA VGA is short for "Video Graphics Array". Generally this indicates a 640 dot x 480 line resolution. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ XGA General term for "eXtended Graphic Array". Generally this indicates a 1024 dot x 768 line resolution. ○ ○ ○ ○ Macintosh is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. Microsoft is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

The first pass displays the odd numbered horizontal lines of the screen. Using the decay of the first pass, the even lines are then displayed to produce the video image. Progressive The single screen is not broken down into two parts. Rather, the entire image is shown on the screen. Especially in the production of still images, text, graphics, and images with a lot of horizontal lines, it is possible to view a clear video image with greatly reduced flicker in areas of detail. 57 En
