The intention of this standard is to give source and display manufacturers a common set of tools to enable new timings to be developed in a consistent manner that ensures greater compatibility. Summary CVT defines rules and methods by which new and existing formats can be defined. Based primarily on the VESA GTF Standard, CVT defines restrictions to pixel clock modularity, refresh rate and aspect ratio. The standard also specifies a new equation-based method for developing Reduced Blanking timings designed for use with non-CRT displays that can accept Reduced Horizontal Blanking times.

1. Overview 1.1 Summary This document details an equation-based method of creating timings. Rules for timing generation are also specified so as to control the number of possible formats in existence. Additionally, this document also specifies a way of creating Reduced Blanking timings for new display devices such as LCDs that don’t require as much Horizontal Blanking timing as traditional CRTs. 1.2 Background The computer industry has, primarily due to the high degree of flexibility provided by continuous frequency CRT displays, traditionally employed a very wide range of display formats and timings even within a given individual system. This permits the system to adapt the display “on the fly” to the requirements of various applications, and also permits the user to adapt the system to a wide range of display-device formats, sizes, and technologies. However, to date, the development of timing standards for these various combinations of formats and rates has not been done in any sort of coordinated manner – and so we have a number of various standard formats which do not interoperate well, and timings which cannot all be precisely produced by any given graphics system. VESA first attempted to address this problem through the release of the Generalized Timing Formula (GTF) Standard in 1996. GTF defined a process whereby a given display device and host system could algorithmically determine a timing which would permit both to work together, reducing the need for explicit timing specifications to cover all possible cases. The GTF method works well on paper since it relies on being able to create a pixel frequency of infinite resolution. This, however, is not practical for real world applications where clock generators have a finite resolution. It also does not cater for an increasing market segment, such as “video in a window”, which requires the video timing to be precisely locked to an external image source. Also, due to the increasing number of non-CRT, fixed-format display types in the market, there is a need for timing standards that specifically address the requirements of these technologies. CRT-compatible timings require higher pixel rates than would be required by these other display technologies due to large amount of blanking which is required for retrace. This, in most cases, represents wasted bandwidth and results in higher-than-needed clock rates. In addressing these needs, though, it is important to keep in mind the fact that the computer graphics systems, which must produce video outputs to these specifications, are not infinitely flexible. In general, they cannot produce any arbitrary number of pixels per line, synthesize any given pixel clock exactly, and so forth. In addition, the problem of scaling information between different formats and rates says that we should not simply generate timings and formats as independent entities. Some thought should be given to the interoperability and compatibility within the chosen set, as well as to the ability of the graphics hardware to produce the specified timing. This standard represents an attempt to address these needs in a single, coordinated effort by developing a set of rules for generating timing. The goal was to create a method by which display manufacturers and graphic hardware vendors can develop new products with enhanced compatibility and interoperability. 1.3 Standard Objectives Previously the generation of new timing and formats has been done by hand and lagged the industry’s needs. This has caused confusion as new display devices or formats are introduced into the market with several different timings. The purpose of CVT is to define a method of creating timings so that new timings can be created simply and easily. CVT provides a coordinated approach so that timing source generators and display VESA Coordinated Video Timings Standard Version 1.2 Version 1.2 ©Copyright 2003-2013 Video Electronics Standards Association Page 8 of 26
