Minimum Distance — The closest position that a projector can focus an image onto a screen.

NTSC — National Television Standards Committee. North American standard for video and broadcasting, with a video format of 525 lines at 30 frames per second.

PAL — Phase Alternating Line. A European broadcast standard for video and broadcasting, with a video format of 625 lines at 25 frames per second.

Reverse Image — Feature that allows you to flip the image horizontally. When used in a normal forward projection environment text, graphics, etc. are backwards. Reverse image is used for rear projection.

RGB — Red, Green, Blue typically used to describe a monitor that requires separate signals for each of the three colors.

S-VideoA video transmission standard that uses a 4-pin mini-DIN connector to send video information on two signal wires called luminance (brightness, Y) and chrominance (color, C). S-Video is also referred to as Y/C.

SECAM — A French and international broadcast standard for video and broadcasting, closely related to PAL but with a different method of sending color information.

SSID — Service Set Identifiers A name used to identify the particular wireless LAN to which a user wants to connect.

SVGA — Super Video Graphics Array 800 x 600 pixels count. SXGA — Super Extended Graphics Array, 1280 x 1024 pixels count. UXGA — Ultra Extended Graphics Array 1600 x 1200 pixels count. VGA — Video Graphics Array 640 x 480 pixels count.

WEP — Wired Equivalent Privacy This is a method for encrypting communication data. The encryption key is created and notified only to the communicating user, so the communication data cannot be decrypted by a third party.

XGA — Extended Video Graphics Array 1024 x 768 pixels count. WXGA — Wide Extended Graphics Array — 1280 x 800 pixels count.

Zoom Lens — Lens with a variable focal length that allows the operator to move the view in or out making the image smaller or larger.

Zoom Lens Ratio — Is the ratio between the smallest and largest image a lens can project from a fixed distance. For example, a 1.4:1 zoom lens ratio means that a 10 foot image without zoom would be a 14 foot image with full zoom.
