Complex terms used in this book, or terms not explained in the body of the text, will be briefly explained here. For further explanation, please consult commercially available reference texts.
5BNC A type of connector used to input analog video
signals.
Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height.
Images which have an aspect ratio of 16:9 are called Widescreen. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.
Color Temperature
Component Video
Composite Video The standard home video signal (NTSC, PAL,
Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of
The temperature of an object which is emitting light. When the colour temperature is high, colours tend to take on a bluish tinge; when the colour temperature is low, colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.
A type of video signal which has the video brightness and colour signal information separated, in order to provide better image quality. In high­definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and Pr (colour difference signals).
SECAM) which has the video brightness and colour signal information mixed together. Composite video consists of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and the chroma (colour) signal, combined within the colour bar signal.
an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and graphics stand out, or appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".
Cool-down The process used to cool down a projector lamp that
is hot from use. Cool-down happens automatically when the [Power] button is pressed on the projector or on the remote control to turn the projector off. Do not unplug the projector power cable whilst it is cooling down. If cool-down is interrupted, heat from the lamp gets trapped inside the projector, potentially shortening the life of the lamp and causing projector failure.
Dolby digital
HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television, it
Interlaced scanning
Progressive scanning
An audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two speakers, whereas Dolby Digital is a 6-channel (5.1­channel) system which adds a centre speaker, two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
refers to high definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p=Progressive scanningg, i=Interlaced scanningg)
• Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
Dolby digitalgl audio reception and playback (or output)
Each screen is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence starting from left to right and then from top to bottom. This method of image scanning, whereby even numbered lines and odd numbered lines are displayed alternately, is called Interlaced scanning.
A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image.
Appendices > Glossary
64
Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the
same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. For this reason, the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light­emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
Resized display This function is used to project computer images that
have a resolution more than or less than the projector's panel resolution, so that they fill the whole of the projection area.
SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television.
It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television.
Security lock
A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.
Squeeze mode
The method of compressing 16:9 Widescreen images and recording them on video software as 4:3 images. When projecting with Squeeze mode on, the images will return to their original 16:9 format.
sRGB An international standard for colour intervals that
was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.
SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800
(horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
S-Video A type of video signal which has the video
brightness and colour signal information separated, in order to provide better image quality. It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y(luminance signal), and C (colour signal).
Sync. (Synchronisation)
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. Image quality will suffer if the projector frequency and the computer frequency do not match. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronised, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific
frequency. Image quality will suffer if the projector frequency and the computer frequency do not match. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.
VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640
(horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,024
(horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
Appendices > Glossary
YCbCr The carrier signal contained in the colour bar signal
used in modern (NTSC) TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma (colour)) signals.
YPbPr The carrier signal contained in the colour bar signal
used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (colour difference) signals.
