Systems

PGA - Professional Graphic Adapter
250 Colors
640x400 Pixels

VGA - Video Graphic Array (Analog Signal)

CGA - Color Graphic Adapter
Pixel x Line Resolution = 640 x 200 Pixels

EGA - Enhanced Graphic Adapter
640 x 350 Pixels

XGA - Extend Graphic Array
1028 x 768 Pixels, 65k Colors

XGA-2 - 1600 X 1200 Pixels

PC Display:

CRT - Cathode-Ray Tube


Raster for the CRT device

LCD - Liquid Crystal Display

DLP - Digital Light Processing - DMD (Digital Micromirror Device)

DPF - Digital Flat Panel

PAL System - Phase Alternat Line

The phase of color carrier is alternate from line to line.
It takes 4 full frams(pictures) for the color carrier to
horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point.
This alternation helps cancel out phase errors.
HUE CONTROL is not needed on a PAL TV set.

Tr - rise time
Tf - fall time

TTL

means Transistor-Transistor Logic




db (Decibel)
a "unit" to express GAIN value instead of "ratio"
