Sharp XV-Z9000E manual Glossary, Aspect ratio

Glossary

Aspect ratio

Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4 : 3. There are also wide images with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9

and 21 : 9.

Auto Sync

Optimises projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.

Cinema zoom

Mode that projects the 16:9 image which uses the centre of the image signal on the full-screen.

Clock

Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.

CLR Temp (Colour temperature)

Function that can be used to adjust the colour temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the colour temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.

Composite sync

Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.

Digital keystone correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4 : 3 aspect ratio.

Digital shift

Shifts image up or down easily by / buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM, or DOT BY DOT of COMPUTER, VIDEO and DTV inputs.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

GAMMA

Image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions. You can select four different modes : STANDARD, GAMMA 1, GAMMA 2 and CUSTOM.

Intelligent compression and expansion

High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.

Lens shift

The lens can be easily raised and lowered to minimise or eliminate “Keystone” type effect.

Phase

Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontal flicker.

Progressive Mode

The progressive display projects a smoother video image. You can select three different modes : 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.

RESIZE

Allows you to modify or customise the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select six different modes: SIDE BAR, SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM, STRETCH, NORMAL, and DOT BY DOT.

RS-232C

Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.

Side bar

Mode that projects the normal 4:3 image at the 4:3 area for the centre of the screen.

Smart Stretch

Mode that stretches the right and left sides of the 4:3 image horizontally while maintaining the aspect ratio around the centre of the image to display it on the WIDE screen.

Status function

Displays the settings of each adjustment item.

Stretch

Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it on the WIDE screen.

Sync on green

Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green colour signal pin.

3D DNR (3D Digital Noise Reduction)

Provides high quality images with minimal background.
