OPM Terminology

  • Article

The following are the primary terms that are used with OPM:

Connector
The physical output connection between the graphics adapter and a display device.

Protection type
The type of protection that can be applied to a video signal that is passed through a graphics adapter's connector. More than one type of protection can be applied to a single connector.

Protection level
The level of protection that is applied to a video signal that is passed through a graphics adapter's connector. The level value is dependent on the protection type. Some protection types (for example, High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)) have only two protection levels (for example, on and off).
