At the heart of every General Digital™ LCD monitor product is an embedded LCD video controller. The function of the video controller is to receive and convert various forms of analog video signals into the appropriate digital video signals necessary to drive an LCD display. It is this ability that enables our LCD monitors to function as a seamless and direct replacement for CRT video monitors.

As technology advances, the variety of video inputs increases. General Digital™ understands and specializes in both leading and trailing edge video input signal technologies. From low resolution obsolete analog Sync-on-Green monochrome signals to the latest high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), support is available to display your signal source.

Virtually all of our products are available with the capability to accept a host of analog and digital video signals. Although our base models are configured to support analog video only, General Digital™ offers the ability to support live video as well. In this context, live video is defined as interlaced video, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, composite or S-video, RS-170, CCTV, and CCIR, while digital video is defined as DVI-D, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, HD Component, and HDMI. Most of our LCD monitor products can be configured as follows:

1 In this context, Analog Video is defined as Separate, Composite, or Sync-on-Green video sources.
2 In this context, Live Video is defined as Interlaced Video, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, Composite or S-Video, RS-170, CCTV, and CCIR.
3 In this context, Digital Video is defined as DVI-D, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, HD Component, and HDMI.
