Appendix A: Glossary
Channel Number | ' A number that uniquely identifies a specific channel retained in projector memory. |
| The projector can retain up to 50 channels. |
Checkbox | ' A menu item that indicates whether an option is currently in effect (checked) or not |
| (unchecked). |
Chrominance | ' The signal representing the color information (hue and saturation) when the image is |
| represented as separate chrominance and luminance. Same as “chroma”. |
Color Gamut | ' The range of colors allowed in a specific system, as defined within a triangular area |
| located on the CIE color locus diagram whose corners are the three primaries defined |
| in the system. Also known as color space. |
Color Shift | ' A change in the tint of a white field across an image. |
Color Temperature | ' The coloration (reddish, white, bluish, greenish, etc.) of white in an image, measured |
| using the Kelvin (degrees K) temperature scale. Higher temperatures output more |
| light. |
Component Video | ' See YCbCr or YPbPr. |
Composite Video | ' The output of video tape players and some computers, characterized by |
| synchronization, luminance and color signals combined on one output cable. |
Contrast (ratio) | ' The degree of difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the image. |
Convergence | ' The alignment of the red, green, and blue elements of a projected image so that they |
| appear as a single element. |
Curved Screen | ' A projection screen which is slightly concave for improved screen gain. Curved |
| screens usually have screen gains, which are greater than 1 but viewing angles much |
| less than 180°. Curved screens are not recommended for use with this projector. |
DDC ' The Display Data Channel VESA standard enables communication between PCs and | |
| monitors, and is based on |
DDI | ' A “direct digital interface” signal can be supplied to the projector via an optional |
| digital input module installed in INPUT 5. For example, you can input an SMPTE- |
| 259M signal using a Serial Digital Input Module or input an |
| from a Digital HDTV Serial Input Module. |
DMD ' Digital Micromirror Devices used in this projector for processing red, green, and | |
| blue color data. |
Decoder | ' Located at INPUT 3 and INPUT 4, this device converts NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.4, PAL, |
| |
Detail | ' The sharpness of a display from a video source. |
Diffused Screen | ' A type of |
| than 1 but audience viewing angles are increased. |
Display Setting | ' An adjustment that affects the display of an image. Such display settings include |
| contrast, brightness, tint, blanking, size, offsets, and others. |
