Pixel clock

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The pixel clock (dot clock) indicates how many pixels per second are sent to a monitor . The inactive (i.e. invisible) pixels within the horizontal and vertical blanking intervals are also counted. It is calculated from the product of the number of transmitted pixels per image and the frame rate , or from the product of the total horizontal number of pixels and the line frequency .

Example:

Anzahl der sichtbaren horizontalen Pixel (Spalten): 
Anzahl der sichtbaren vertikalen Pixel (Zeilen):    
Bildwiederholrate:                                  

Assuming that the visible pixels make up 80% of the transmitted pixels, the following applies:

and the pixel clock is calculated as follows:
