VESA - Standards

Standards

  • VESA Feature Connector (VFC), obsolete connector that was often present on older videocards, used as an 8-bit video bus to other devices
  • VESA Advanced Feature Connector (VAFC), newer version of the above VFC that widens the 8-bit bus to either a 16-bit or 32-bit bus
  • VESA Local Bus (VLB), once used as a fast video bus (akin to the more recent AGP)
  • VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE), used for enabling standard support for advanced video modes (at high resolutions and color depths)
  • Display Data Channel (DDC), a data link protocol which allows a host device to control an attached display and communicate EDID, DPMS, MCCS and similar messages
  • E-EDID, a data format for display identification data that defines supported resolutions and video timings
  • Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS), a message protocol for controlling display parameters such as brightness, contrast, display orientation from the host device
  • DisplayID, display identification data format, which is a replacement for E-EDID.
  • VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS), which allows monitors to be queried on the types of power saving modes they support
  • Digital Packet Video Link (DPVL), a display link standard that allows to update only portions of the screen
  • VESA Stereo, a standard 3-pin connector for synchronization of stereoscopic images with LC shutter glasses
  • Flat Panel Display Interface (FPDI), logical and electrical standard for flat panel display interfacing
  • Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI), which defines "VESA mounts"
  • Generalized Timing Formula (GTF), video timings standard
  • Coordinated Video Timings (CVT), a replacement for GTF
  • Display Monitor Timing (DMT), lists standard display timings for various resolutions and screen sizes
  • VESA Video Interface Port (VIP), a digital video interface standard
  • DisplayPort Standard, a digital video interface standard
  • VESA Enhanced Video Connector, an obsolete standard for reducing the number of cables around computers.

Famous quotes containing the word standards:

    “If one doesn’t know one’s own country, one doesn’t have standards for foreign countries.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “The home is a woman’s natural background.... From the beginning I tried to have the policy of the store reflect as nearly as it was possible in the commercial world, those standards of comfort and grace which are apparent in a lovely home.”
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    “Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
