Contrast

A type of connector used to input analog video signals.

The ratio between an image’s length and its height. Images which hav e an aspe ct rati o of 16:9 are called Widescreen. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.

The temperature of an object which is emitting light. When the color temperature is high, colors tend to take on a bluish t inge; when the color temper atu re is low, colors tend to take on a reddish tinge.

A type of video signal which has the video brightness and color si gnal inf ormation separ ated, 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 (color difference signals).

The standard home video signal (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) which has the video brightness and color signal information mixed together. Composite video consists of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and the chroma (color) signal, combined within the color bar signal.

The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image, which can be increased or decreased in order to make te xt and gr aphics stand out, or app ear softer.

Cool-down

Interlaced scanning

Progressive scanning

The process used to cool down a pro jector lamp that is hot from use. Cool-down happens automati cally 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 while it is cooling down. If cool-down is interrupted, heat from the lamp gets trapped inside the projector , potentially shortening the life of t he lamp and causing projector failure.
