Video Standard

Video standard is a standard for video display adapters developed so that software developers can anticipate how their programs will appear on the screen. Industry groups define video standards, and they specify maximum screen resolution, which is measured by the number of pixels that can be displayed horizontally and the number of lines that can be displayed vertically; for example, the VGA standard defines a horizontal resolution of 640 pixels by 480 lines (640 X 480). See color depth, eXtended Graphics Array (XGA), HDTV, MCGA, resolution, SVGA, SXGA, VGA.

Technipages Explains Video Standard

Different video standards characterize the resolution and colors for presentations. Backing for an illustration standard is resolved both by the screen and by the video adapter. The screen must most likely demonstrate the resolution and colors characterized by the standard, and the video adapter must be fit for transmitting the proper sign to the screen.

Recorded here, in the rough request of expanding force and complexity, are the more well-known video standards for PCs. Note that a significant number of these numbers speak to just the essentials indicated in the standards. Numerous providers of video adapters give more prominent resolution and more colors.

• VGA – 640 x 480 resolution
• SVGA – 800 x 600 resolution
• XGA – 1024 x 768 resolution
• SXGA – 1280 x 1024 resolution
• UXGA – 1600 x 1200 resolution

Video display standards also specify the adapter’s maximum color depth, which is determined by the bit length of the information used to represent distinct colors; a color depth of 8 bits yields 256 colors, a depth of 16 bits yields 65,536 colors, and a depth of 24 bits yields 16,777,216 colors. Although the various video standards originally defined additional electronic characteristics of video adapters, such as video interlacing, they are now used to indicate an adapter or display’s maximum resolution.

Common Uses of Video Standard

• The MPEG group created a video standard that specifies the coded bitstream for high-quality digital video.
•  The audio-video standard of the AVS Video decoder reference program was developed in China.
• Video Standard resolution can determine the image quality produced by your PC screen

Common Misuses of Video Standard

• Video standard is only suitable for playing mp3 files
