Aspect (P63, P77, P135)

The aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal dimension (width) to the vertical dimension (height) of a screen. It is expressed as "width : height."

The following aspect ratios are normally used in Computer or AV equipment.

[4:3]

The aspect ratio for SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) and XGA (1024 x 768) display resolution in PC or for the traditional television screen.

The aspect ratio for this projector is 4:3.

[5:4]

The aspect ratio for SXGA (1280 x 1024) display resolution.

[16:9]

The aspect ratio for the high resolution digital television or digital terrestrial broadcasting.

For the aspect ratio for movie screens, "vista vision size" and "cinema scope size", etc. are used.

"Vista vision size"

The aspect ratio close to 16:9. Select [Auto] or [16:9] for [Aspect]. The back belts are added at the top and bottom of the image.

"Cinema scope size"

The landscape-oriented aspect ratio of 8:3. Select [Auto] or [16:9] for [Aspect]. The back belts are added at the top and bottom of the image.

Glossary

Component (P27, P44, P92)

A signal system used to send a color signal (C) with it divided into a B-Y color difference signal and an R-Y color difference signal. This system can project a better- quality image as compared with the composite signal system. Connect the component video terminal on the AV equipment and the ANALOG PC-2/COMPONENT IN terminal on this projector with a component cable. Select [COMPONENT] at pro- jection.

Tracking (P55, P80)

To reproduce an image from an analog image signal, the process to accumulate image information at the appropriate timing with reference to the synchronization signal within the image signal is required. This process is called the tracking. This projector can display an image properly by automatically adjust the tracking with the auto PC adjustment function even if there is a small difference in the synchronization signal from an analog imaging device.

Resolution (P54)

The number of dots (horizontal dots x ver-

tical dots) that can be displayed on the

 

screen. It describes the fineness (informa-

Appendix

tion amount) of the displayed image.
