Glossary
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.
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 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.
Component Video A type of video signal which has the video brightness and colour signal information
separated, in order to provide better image quality. In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers
to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and Pr
(colour difference signals).
Composite Video The standard home video signal (NTSC, PAL, 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.
Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of 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 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 (5.1-channel) system which
adds a centre speaker, two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television, it refers to high definition systems which
satisfy the following conditions.
• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater
(p=Progressive scanning
• Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
• Dolby digital
Interlaced scanning 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.

order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is
called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

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.

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.
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.
