|
|
|
|
| This appendix defines the specific terms used in this manual as they apply to this |
|
| projector. Also included are other general terms commonly used in the projection |
|
| industry. |
| Active Line Time | ' The time, inside one horizontal scan line, during which video is generated. |
Ambient Light Rejection | ' The ability of a screen to reflect ambient light in a direction away from the "line of | |
|
| best viewing". Curved screens usually have good ambient light rejection. Flat screens |
|
| usually have less ambient light rejection. |
| Analog Video | ' The video output of most computers and videotape machines. Analog video can |
|
| generate a large number of colors. |
| Aspect Ratio | ' The ratio of the width of an image to its height, such as the 4:3 aspect ratio common |
|
| in video output. |
| Auto Source | ' The ability of the projector to automatically recognize and synchronize to the |
|
| horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of an input signal for proper display. |
| Bandwidth | ' The frequency range of the projector's video amplifier. |
| Baud Rate | ' The speed at which serial communications travel from their origin. In this projector, |
|
| the |
|
| controlling device. The switcher baud rate of 9600 cannot be changed. |
| Blanking Time | ' The time inside one scan line during which video is not generated. The blanking time |
|
| of the input signal must be equal to or greater than the retrace time of the projector. |
| Brightness | ' In projection, brightness usually describes the amount of light emitted from a surface |
|
| such as a screen. It is measured in |
| Candela or Candle | ' Unit of measure for measuring intensity of light. |
| Channel | ' A collection of measurements stored by the projector for a given input source, |
|
| including frequencies, pulse width, polarity, syncs, channel number and location, |
|
| |
|
| setups quickly, automatically recalling previously defined display parameters. |
| Channel List | ' A list/menu of |
| Channel Number | ' A number that uniquely identifies a specific channel retained in projector memory. |
|
| The projector can retain up to 99 channels. |
