  1. High resolution video interface standards & transmission requirements

    1. General

The transmission of video to display walls and surveillance monitors is essential for security applications. In general, the transmission of video signals has to comply with EN 50132-1 with a special focus on requirements for interconnections.

If a video device, video transmission device, transmission media or a combination of these has one or more high-resolution analogue or digital video display outputs or inputs following requirements apply.

  1. Introduction

Video Transmission devices shall specify the display interface in terms of pure video presentation functionality. All other functionalities may be supported, but may not be specified. The functionality of Display Data Channel (DDC), extended display identification data (EDID), VESA Display Power Management Signalling and Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) are not part of this European Standard.

  1. General requirements

    1. Introduction

This European Standard shall be based on the requirements of EN 62315-1. It defines the requirements on video outputs for uncompressed digital video interfaces and is applicable to a variety of standard digital video-related high-speed physical interfaces - such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) 1.0 and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) specifications. Protocols, requirements, and recommendations that are defined in the referenced standard include video formats and waveforms; colorimetry and quantization; transport of uncompressed, as well as Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM), audio and carriage of auxiliary data.

Every video output of a transmission device corresponding to this European Standard shall support the format defined in EN 62315-1:2003, 6.2.1, 640*480р in 60 Hz. The video output of a transmission device shall, like defined in EN 62315-1:2003, 6.2.4 and 6.2.9, either support 720*480p or 720*576p in one or two picture aspect ratios (4:3 or 16:9). In addition, every HDMI video output corresponding to this European Standard shall offer a picture aspect ratio of 16:9 and, like defined in EN 62315-1:2003, 6.2.2, 6.2.3, 6.2.6, 6.2.7 and 6.2.8, either support 1 920x1 080І or 1 280x720p. The formats determined in EN 62315-1:2003, 6.2.10 and 6.2.5, 720x576i and 720x480i are optional according to this European Standard.

  1. Requirements on video waveform timings

The timing of the video signal shall be according to EN 62315-1:2003, Table 2 and the time charts in EN 62315-1:2003, 6.2. The video output of the transmission device shall be able to represent the formats of EN 62315-1:2003, Table 1, either with 59,94 Hz or 60 Hz (picture change frequency in consecutive scanning and half picture change frequency in line leap scanning). Therefore, the 59,94 Hz and 60 Hz versions of a format shall be regarded as the same format with negligibly different pixel clock. The video output of a transmission device shall generate video signals, whose pixel frequencies deviate less than 0,5 % from the clock speed specified in EN 62315-1:2003, Table 2.

  1. VGA and derived high-resolution video display interface standards

VGA is a high-resolution video interface standard used for computer monitors, where ability to transmit a sharp, detailed image is essential. VGA uses separate wires to transmit the three colour component signals and vertical and horizontal synchronization signals.

The VGA display standards or modes are a combination of display resolution (specified as the width and height in pixels), colour depth (measured in bits), and refresh rate (expressed in hertz).

Most computer monitors have a 4:3 aspect ratio and some have 5:4. Monitors with 16:10 aspect ratios have become commonly available.

A number of common resolutions have been used with video devices and video transmission devices and the VESA group has co-ordinated the efforts to a Video standard, which is referred here.

  1. DVI

The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It was developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a display. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).

  1. HDMI

The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. It represents a digital alternative to analogue standards such as Radio Frequency coaxial cable, composite video, S-Video, component video and VGA.

  1. DisplayPort (DP)

The DisplayPort standard defines a royalty-free digital interface between sources e.g. workstations and computer displays. If a video transmission device is specifying the DisplayPort as the video interface standard supported, it shall follow DisplayPort Standard, Version 1.1a. DisplayPort provides a connection to external (and, what is not in focus here, internal) high-resolution displays without the need for signal conversion. The video transmission device shall specify the supported resolutions and colour depth. The nomenclature of 9.3.4 and 9.3.5 may be used. The interface is scalable to support future resolution requirements and can be extended to support multiple video and/or audio streams on one link.

  1. VESA DMT interface standards and guidelines reference

    1. General

Table 1 contains a summary of display monitor timings (DMT) that are compliant to this European Standard. This clause refers to all current VESA Monitor Timing specifications (see Industry Standards and Guidelines for Computer Display Monitor Timing (DMT), Version 1.0 Revision 11 or later).

The video output signal of a video transmission device, media or combination of both shall meet fully the requirements of VESA DMT, where that standard refers to display monitors having screen resolutions between 640x350 and 1 280x1 024 and refresh rates between 60 Hz and 85 Hz and 1 600x1 200 with a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
