Thank you for purchasing the X-media DreamBox / X-Media5.1
DreamBox (Model 5.1)!
With this X-media DreamBox or Model 5.1, you can turn your RGB
monitor or LCD display panel into a TV with or without even having
to turn on your computer. Just plug it into your monitor or LCD
display and you’re ready to watch TV, DVD, RCA programs, or
play video games. X-media DreamBox, or Model 5.1 is completely
plug-n-play. This is no software driver required.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not
expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.
If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, this
equipment may causes corrupt interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause equivocal interference to radio or telephone reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
− Reorient or relocate the TV antenna if there is any.
− Increase the separation between the equipment and
Telephone reception.
− Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the radio receiver is connected.
− Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/Telephone
technician for help.
About operating voltage

About installation
Do not place the unit near heat sources, rain, moisture or
mechanical shock, and ensure that there is nothing to interfere
with proper ventilation/airflow.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a damp cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plug, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
10. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

Glossary
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
AGC is a circuit designed to boost the amplitude of a signal to
provide adequate levels of recording.
Aspect Ratio
The width to height ratio of an image. A 4:3 aspect ratio means
the horizontal side is a third wider than the vertical size. Standard
television ratio is 4:3 (or 1.33:1). Wide-screen DTV and HDTV
aspect ratio is 16:9 (or 1.78:1).
Alpha Blending
This is the way of combing two images by blending together at
factor of alpha. Alpha denotes the blending factor.
Caption
A textural representation of the audio information in a video
program. Captions are usually intended for the hearing impaired,
and therefore include additional text to identify the person
speaking, off screen sounds, etc.
Chroma
The color component of a video signal, independent of the luma.
Definition
Chrominance
The color component (hue and saturation) of light independent of
luminance. Technically, Chrominance refers to the linear
component of video, as opposed to the transformed non-linear
Page 27
modes. Common film aspect ratios are 1.85:1 and 2.35:1.
Sometimes referred to as Theater modes.
Closed Caption
Text caption for video which are not normally visible, as opposed
to open caption, which are a permanent part of the picture. In the
United States, the official NTSC Closed Caption standard requires
that all TVs larger than 13" include circuitry to decode and display
caption information stored on the line 21 of the video signal.
Component Video
A video system containing three separate color component
signals, either Red/Green/Blue (RGB) or Chroma/color differences
(YCbCr, YPbPr, YUV), in analog or digital form.
Composite Video
A analog video signal in which the luma and chroma components
are combined (by frequency multiplexing), along with sync and
burst. Also called CVBS.
Dynamic Luminance Transience Improvement
It is a content adaptive horizontal peaking for the luma signal to
improve the visual quality of TV picture.
Dynamic Chrominance Transience Improvement
Assuming luma and chroma transitions are normally aligned, the
chroma transition are usually degraded due to narrow bandwidth of
chroma information. By monitoring coincident luma transient, a
faster edge is synthesized for the chroma transitions. This edge
then is aligned with the luma edge.
Dynamic Scan Velocity Modulation (DSVM)
DSVM constantly monitoring the edge information of the picture
Page 28
edges in the picture.
Dynamic Digital Comb Filter (DDCF)
The adaptive comb filter is used for high quality Y/C separation for
both PAL and NTSC signals. The adaptive comb filter can improve
luma resolution and reduces cross talk between luma and chroma.
Dynamic Adaptive Static Detect De-interlacing
Improves the clarity and sharpness of the overall picture by
enhances the "non-moving" portions of the picture by doubling the
resolution of those areas. This unique feature is enabled by
utilizing Trident's proprietary technology.
Dynamic Temporal frame-Filtering Noise Reduction
The motion adaptive non-linear Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter
is used to reduce the luminance noise. The amount of noise
reduction is controlled by the motion picture which remove the
tailing effect when there is motion in the picture.
Digital Television (DTV)
In general, any system that encodes video and audio in digital
form. In specific, the Digital Television System proposed by the
ATSC or the digital TV standard proposed by the Digital TV Team
founded by Microsoft, Intel and Compaq.
Dynamic Gamma Control
It is the same as Dynamic Brightness/Contrast Adjustment.
Dynamic Black Level eXtender (DBLX)
The DBLX extends gray to black level to improve the contrast of
the TV picture.
Dynamic Brightness/Contrast Adjustment
Page 29
To remove the high frequency noise in TV picture.
Dynamic Frame/Scan Rate Converter
The DPTV can convert input TV signal to any refresh rate. For
example, it can convert from 50Hz PAL timing to 75Hz noninterlaced output or from 50Hz timing to 100Hz interfaced output.
Dynamic White Peak Level Restriction
Dynamically limits white level of image.
Dynamic Skin Color Correction
Depending on picture content, the DPTV will dynamically change
the gain of U and V channels to make colors on picture more vivid.
Dynamic Digital SVGA Overlay
The DPTV can capture SVGA RGB data into frame buffer. It can
be scaled to any size and overlay with TV picture.
Gamma Correction
The characteristics of the displays using phosphors (as well as
some cameras) are non-linear. A small change in voltage when
the voltage level is low, produces a change in output display
brightness. The same small voltage change at high voltage level
will not produce the same magnitude in output brightness. This
effect or the difference between what you should have and what
you actually measured is known as gamma. Gamma correction is
to process RGB signals to compensate for the gamma of display.
High-Definition Television (HDTV)
A video format with a resolution approximately twice that of the
conventional television in both the horizontal and vertical
dimensions, and a picture aspect ratio of 16:9. Used loosely to
refer to the US DTV system.
Page 30
picture from a standard video signal by using techniques such as
frame doubling, line doubling, and digital signal processing.
Interlaced
A video scanning system in which alternating lines are
transmitted, so that half a picture is displayed each time the scan
beam moves down the screen. An interlaced frame is made of two
fields.
Luma
The brightness component of a color video image (also called the
grayscale, monochrome, or black-and-white component). Nonlinear luminance.
Luminance
Loosely, the sum of RGB tristimulus values corresponding to
brightness. May refer to a linear or non-linear signal.
Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG)
An international committee that developed the MPEG family of
audio and video compression systems.
On-Screen Display (OSD).
OSD is a means of displaying system status by overlaying the
information over the picture on the viewing screen directly. Users
can choose to implement text-based or Graphical based OSD
Panorama
A video image that uses non-linear distortion to stretch the sides
more and the center less, thus minimizing the apparent distortion.
This feature is found on some wide-screen television.
