VESA Releases Multi-Display Interface and Display Power Management Standards.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 2003 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. ), the worldwide leader in video display standards, today announced the release of the Multi-Display Interface Standard, Version 1 and the revised Display Power Management Standard, Release A. The Multi-Display Interface Standard provides a standardized method to connect and support multiple digital or analog monitors to a low-profile PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). or AGP graphics card. The intent is that this document becomes an industry-wide standard for all multiple monitor graphics card applications, regardless of form factor. The purpose of the Display Power Management (DPM) Standard is to standardize on a common definition of low power states for the computer display industry. According to Joe Goodart, VESA DPM Workgroup Leader and Senior Display Engineer at Dell Computer Corp., "Compared to DPMS See VESA DPMS. (hardware) DPMS - Display Power Management Signaling. Version 1, Revision 1, DPM has simplified power saving modes and is a more compact standard than its predecessor." The Multi-Display Interface Standard and DPM are the latest in a series of new or revised standards released by VESA during the last several months. These include the new Display Color Management (DCM) and E-EDID EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. standards and the revised Video Signal (VSIS VSIS Vault Safety and Inventory System VSIS Victualling Stores Issuing Ship ) and Flat Panel Mounting (FDMI) standards. Availability All of the above standards are now available and can be ordered from the VESA website at www.vesa.org. About VESA Based in Milpitas, California, VESA is an international trade association serving more than 100 member companies participating in the video display market.
