Notes

Philips LightFrame™ will only work with monitors that have been built to use this software. Earlier Philips monitors or other manufacturers' monitors will not work with this special software. It is recommended that you install this software only on a Philips monitor designed to use it. These monitors can be identified by the LightFrame™ logo on the front of the monitor.

This software is not designed for use with LCD flat screen monitors. LightFrame™ will work with true Windows-based programs and DOS-based programs that operate in a

Window 's environment. It will not work with DOS-based programs operating only in a DOS environment.

Definitions

The following list contains definitions for frequently used words.

Highlighted window: The selected window on which LightFrame™ is active. Highlighted area: The selected rectangle (area) on which LightFrame™ is active.

Compatibility

This version of LightFrame™ is compatible with Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT Windows 2000 Professional Edition.

Language Selection

While English is the default language of LightFrame™, the User Interface can be set up to operate in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

Installation

To install LightFrame™, place the CD in the CD-ROM drive.1. Next, when the menu of items on the CD appears on your screen, click on 'Install LightFrame™'.2. Now, follow the on-screen prompts to properly install the program. The software checks to see if you

have a compatible monitor. You must say yes to the license agreement for the software to install.

After installation, LightFrame™ automatically loads and the icon appears in the taskbar.4.

Notes

LightFrame™ is installed in the Start menu, under Programs. Unless otherwise selected during installation, LightFrame™ is installed in "C:\Program Files\Philips\LightFrame. " A shortcut is installed in the StartUp folder and on the desktop. (If needed, LightFrame™ can be operated manually from the StartUp folder.)

If LightFrame™ detects that your monitor is not LightFrame™ compatible, an message appears on the monitor screen. See Error Message number 1 under the heading Error Messages. If you see this message, you can select to abort or continue the installation. However, if you continue the installation, LightFrame™ will probably not work on the monitor.

Uninstall

Should you need to remove the LightFrame™ software, please follow these steps.

First, click on the Start Menu.1. Next, highlight Settings.2. Then, click on Control Panel.3. Now, click on Add/Remove Programs 4.

107T Product Information

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/product/product.htm (2 of 8) [10/12/2000 1:50:19 AM]

Finally, select LightFrame from the list and then click on the Add/Remove button. 5.

Operating LightFrame™

After installation, LightFrame™ starts up automatically whenever the computer is started. At system start up, LightFrame™ checks the selected resolution of the monitor and if the monitor is LightFrame™ capable.

Icon and Colors

An icon of a monitor represents LightFrame™ on your desktop. This icon appears as a shortcut on the Windows desktop. LightFrame™ has three (3) modes of operation: Active, Inactive, and Suspended. The same icon with a different color in its center represents each mode. Active = LightFrame™ icon has bright green center. Inactive = The icon has a gray center. Suspended = The icon has a yellow center with a red cross.

Notes

An active window must be 100% visible, i.e. it must be on top of all other windows or areas. If any part of another window or area overlaps a highlighted window, LightFrame™ automatically suspends operation. That means the icon goes from a green center to a yellow on with a red cross and the feature ceases. Once that window or area is removed and the original highlighted window is on top again, LightFrame™ automatically re-engages and the icon regains its bright green center.

An active window must also be 100% on the monitor 's viewing area. If part of a highlighted window moves off the monitor 's viewing area, LightFrame™ automatically goes into the Suspended mode. If part of a window is off the viewing area, you will not be able to use LightFrame™ on that window.

Only one window or area at a time can be highlighted.

How To Activate LightFrame™

Click on the LightFrame™ icon in the systemtray (the area to the far right in the taskbar). . The icon will turn from gray to a green center.

Guide the mouse to the window you want displayed. As you move the mouse, the cursor changes to a small arrow with a light bulb.

3a) Click on the window you want to have highlighted. The brightness and sharpness are automatically adjusted. 3b) If you want to highlight only an area of a window, click on the left mouse button and drag the cursor over the area to be highlighted while holding the mouse button. A rectangle forms around the area. When the area is encompassed by the rectangle, release the mouse button and the area becomes highlighted.

How to Deactivate LightFrame™

To deactivate, click on the LightFrame™ icon in the System Tray of the Taskbar. The light in the middle of the icon turns gray and LightFrame™ is deactivated.

Note

107T Product Information

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/product/product.htm (3 of 8) [10/12/2000 1:50:19 AM]

If a highlighted window is closed before LightFrame™ is deactivated, LightFrame™ is automatically deactivated.

Right-Click Features

On the LightFrame™ icon in the taskbar, click the right-side mouse button to bring up a menu from which you can select:

About...which tells you something about LightFrame™ Help which takes you to the Help screen where you can find additional information Exit which exits the LightFrame™ Program.

If you select exit and the color in the center of the icon is green, it will turn gray and LightFrame™ is deactivated. If you select exit an Exit message appears asking you if are sure you want to exit. Select "Yes " to exit or "No " to abort the exit. If you select Yes, you can always restart LightFrame™ by clicking on the desktop shortcut icon.

LightFrame™ is Suspended When . . . Screensaver, Sleep mode, Deep Sleep (Power Off) mode is Activated

LightFrame™ goes into the Suspended mode as soon as a screensaver becomes active on your computer. This is true even though the monitor icon may still have a green center. LightFrameä>> becomes active again as soon as the screen is reawakened and the screensaver quits.

The same is true when the computer goes into Sleep mode or Deep Sleep (Power Off) mode.LightFrame™ goes into Suspended mode and reawakens when the monitor is reawakened.

Screen or Area is Minimized

LightFrame™ suspends when a highlighted window is minimized. LightFrame™ reactivates when the highlighted window is again maximized or restored to its previous size.

Another Window or Area Overlaps Highlighted Window or Area

LightFrame™ suspends if a window that is not highlighted overlaps a highlighted window. LightFrame™ reactivates once the highlighted window is again on top.

Miscellaneous Monitor Turned Off

If the monitor is "hard powered off " while a window or area is highlighted and then hard powered on again, LightFrame™ is no longer active. The icon may still show the feature as still active. In this case, you have to exit LightFrame™ and restart it via the icon on the desktop or the Start menu.

If the Monitor is Detached and Another Monitor is Attached

If the monitor is detached from the computer while a highlighted window or area is displayed and then another monitor is attached, the system will have to be rebooted so that Philips ' LightFrame™ can detect the monitor 's LightFrame™ capabilities and store the setup information about the new monitor. If the monitor is not LightFrame™ capable, an Error message appears. See Error Message 2 under the heading Error Messages. You can abort or continue the set up. However, if you continue, LightFrame™ may not work with the monitor.

Error Messages

You may see this message when you install LightFrame™.

Glossary

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/glossary/glossary.htm (1 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:50:24 AM]

CE Mark

CE mark is displayed on products per EMC and LV ( low Voltage Device ) directives in compliance with European Community safety, EMI and EMS requirements and is compulsory on products for sale in the European Community.

Color temperature

A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source.

Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.

Contrast

The ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest parts of a picture. The darkest part of a picture is set by the brightness of the unexcited phosphor, which is governed by the degree with which ambient light is reflected. Contrast is therefore reduced in conditions of high ambient light levels. Black Matrix tubes reflect less ambient light so exhibit higher contrast than other tubes.

Convergence error

Bean misalignment causing one or more of the three beams passing through the wrong aperture in the shadow mask and striking a phosphor dot in the wrong triad.

Convergence error is expressed in mm often at three well-defined points on the screen, designated A, B and C (see figure ). Also known as misconvergence.

Glossary

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/glossary/glossary.htm (2 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:50:24 AM]

Points where convergence error is specified.

Convergence-error correction

A method of correcting for convergence error to insure that all three beams land simultaneously in the same triad. This is usually accomplished by means of special convergence-error correction coils in the deflection yoke.

CRT

Cathode-ray tube - the general term for all tubes in which one or more electron beams emitted by a cathode are periodically scanned across a phosphor screen by means of deflection circuitry. A special form of the cathode-ray tube is the TV and monitor picture tube.

CustoMax

Philips proprietary monitor control software that allows users to control parameters (e.g., Size, Color, Geometry) using software running in Windows. CustoMax is compatible with existing VGA cards. See CrystalClear FAQ and USB Bay FAQ.

DDC (Display Data Channel)

Glossary

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:50:24 AM]

DDC is a communication channel for displays and computers. The DDC feature allows the monitor controller to be automatically configured to make optimal use of the display without manual user interaction. DDC is implemented as part of the new Plug & Play approach introduced into the PC market to increase user friendliness.

The three levels developed for Plug & play are: (1) DDC1, monitor send data to the PC; (2) DDC2B, PC can request information from monitor; and (3) DDC2Bi which is a two-way communication - monitor can be addressed and PC or graphics board can give commands to monitor.

DDC 1/2B

See DDC.

DDC 2Bi

See DDC.

Degaussing

The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at any time.

Digital control

Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.

Dot pitch

The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.

Glossary

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/glossary/glossary.htm (4 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:50:24 AM]

Dot rate

Frequency in MHz of the dot clock. It is a measure of the speed with which data is transferred between the video card and subsequent processing circuitry.

Also known as video dot rate.

Electromagnetic radiation standards

International standards set to limit electromagnetic emissions from monitors. There are currently two important standards both derived from regulations originally laid down by Swedish authorities.

MPR-II

The standard originally proposed by the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing. It set maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors, and has now been adopted as a world standard. MPR-II defines maximum permitted electrostatic, magnetic and electric field levels measured at a distance of 50 cm from the center of the monitor (see table).

TCO

Glossary

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/glossary/glossary.htm (5 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:50:24 AM]

In 1991, the Swedish Tjänstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF). The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table).

Electromagnetic radiation standards

EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference)

The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment.

EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment)

The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or magnetic interference.

RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

Flicker

Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in each line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame repetition rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a light background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays - contributing to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The problem can, however, be eliminated by increasing the refresh rate (number of frames/second) of the monitor to a value above around 70 Hz. Sensitivity to flicker appears to diminish with increasing age.

RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

Hertz

The unit of frequency named after the physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). 1 hertz (Hz) is equal to 1 cycle/second.

Horizontal dot pitch

See Dot pitch.

Horizontal scanning frequency

Glossary

file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/glossary/glossary.htm (6 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:50:24 AM]

Also called line frequency and expressed in kHz, it is the number of video lines written on the screen every second (from left to right). The higher the horizontal scanning frequency, the better the resolution (i.e., the higher the resolution and/or the higher the refresh rate).

RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

INF File

INF file (Information File)

Information (INF) files store information in a specific format. The set-up functions retrieve information from the INF file to use when performing installation operations. Examples of the type of information stored in an INF file include INI and registry changes, file names, and locations of the source files on source media.

Interlaced/non-interlaced

Interlaced.

The method of writing a picture on the screen by initially writing all even lines and subsequently writing all odd lines of the picture. Result: The complete picture is composed of two interlaced half pictures (or fields). With interlacing, a vertical (or field) frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 25 Hz.

Non-interlaced.

The method of writing a picture on the screen by successive video lines of the picture so that a full frame is written onto the screen in one vertical sweep of the beams. With a non-interlaced display, a vertical frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 50 Hz. At any given resolution, non-interlaced modes are preferable to interlaced modes; however, generation of non-interlaced modes is more expensive.
