LitePro 580 User’s Guide61 Appendix Compatibility and cabling The LitePro 580 provides an image resolution of 640 by 480 pixels with up to 16 million colors. It is compatible with various computer graphics and video formats. *Monochrome only; requires special cable. **The LitePro 580 displays only 640x480 images; images of higher resolution will be compressed or cropped. About broadcast video Most broadcast video signals in the world are one of three standards: • NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)—a 60 Hz 525- line resolution standard used in North America, parts of South America, and Japan. • PAL (Phase Alternating Line)—a 50 Hz 768x576 resolution standard used in Europe, Australia, China, and some South American and African countries.

Appendix 62LitePro 580 User’s Guide • SECAM (Sequentiel Couleur à Mémoire)—a 50 Hz 768x576 resolution standard similar to PAL used in France, Eastern Europe, and some African and Middle Eastern countries. PAL and SECAM differ in the way color information is encoded on the broadcast signal. Video produced by VCRs, laser disc players, and camcorders is sent and received in one of two formats: • Composite video—carries sync, luminance (the black and white part of the video signal), and color information on one signal with a single pin and ground connection, and • S-Video—separates color information from the luminance and sync signal with a four-pin and ground connection. Because of the color separation, S-Video produces a higher quality display with better colors and less noise. It is not recommended for use over distant connections as the signal tends to degrade the longer the it must travel. About computer video Computer video generates five separate signals for IBM compatible computers: red, green, blue, H-sync and V-sync. It provides four separate signals for Macintosh computers: red, green, blue, and composite sync. These types of signal are called RGB for red, green, and blue.
