VESA Enhances Flat Panel Mounting Standard, Adds Flexibility for Large LCD, Plasma Display Manufacturers; Revisions Designed to Help Raise FDMI Standard Adoption Rates for Large Displays.MILPITAS, Calif. -- The Video Electronics Standards Association See VESA. (body, standard) Video Electronics Standards Association - (VESA) An industry standards organisation created in 1989 or 1990 mostly(?) concerned with IBM compatible personal computers. (VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association, Milpitas, CA, www.vesa.org) A membership organization founded in 1989 that sets interface standards for the PC, workstation and computing environments. Note the following VESA standards following this entry. ) today announced enhancements to its Flat Display Mounting Interface The Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI), also known as VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS) or colloquially as VESA mount, is a family of standards defined by the Video Electronics Standards Association for mounting flat panel monitors, TVs, and other displays to standard (FDMI FDMI Flat Display Mounting Interface Standard (VESA standard) FDMI Fabric Device Management Interface ), revising the standard to accommodate new generations of flat displays 90-inches or larger, diagonally. The enhancements to the Flat Display Mounting Interface standard were made necessary by the rapid increase in new, large television screens and monitors that are now available in the consumer and professional markets, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Bill Lempesis, executive director of VESA. The revisions provide flexibility to help manufacturers of the new larger screens comply with the standard. "The FDMI has been very successful since its inception, with adoption rates across the industry of well over 90 percent," Lempesis said. "We have extended the standard to apply to new large screens, and made certain that it is practical for new and larger displays. We expect the enhancements will encourage a much higher adoption rate for the larger screens." The revisions center on the size of the screw mounting surface interface dimensions and the mounting hole pattern specifications. For example, rather than requiring four mounting holes in a specific spacing pattern relevant to smaller screens, the changes in the standard enable spacing to be wider or narrower depending on the chassis Pronounced "chah-see," it is a physical structure that holds everything or that everything is attached to. A computer's cabinet is often called the chassis. used with the large screens. Also, in place of a single 100 mm by 100 mm pattern for screen mounting, which applies to smaller screens, there are variations of different patterns that can be used for larger screens and which will comply with the VESA standard. The pattern variations will be useful for mounting companies which are developing products to accommodate the screen manufacturers. About VESA The Video Electronics Standards Association is a worldwide organization with more than 140 member companies that promotes and develops timely, relevant, open display and display interface standards, ensuring interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. , and encouraging innovation and market growth. |
