MonitorWorld Dictionary of Terms
 
Technical sites tend to have technical terms. At MonitorWorld.com, we try and make it easy by providing you with this list of explanations to commonly used jargon.
 
Sync on Green
is a standard usually used by workstations where the horiztonal and vertical sync pulses are sent on the green wire.
Composite Sync
is another standard often used by workstation monitors. The most common example would be a SUN Microsystems monitor. To make composite sync, the horizontal and vertical sync pulses are combined onto one wire.
Separate Sync
is a standard PC sync signal type. The horizontal and vertical sync pulse are set on separate wires. The most common problem attaching a workstation monitor to PC's is to convert this combined signal to a sync on green or composite sync signal.
PS2
stands for "Personal System 2" and is IBM's next generation proprietary architecture standard.
