High Voltage Differential (HVD)
A logic signaling system that enables data communication between a supported host and the
library. HVD signaling uses a paired plus and minus signal level to reduce the effects of noise on
the SCSI bus. Any noise that is injected into the signal is present in both a plus and minus state,
and is canceled. Synonymous with differential.
