APPENDIX
Glossary
* is only applicable to SX7 MarkII
6-axis color adjust (P107)
The color adjustment function for an
advanced user. You can adjust color balance
and color level for 6 axis of RGB (red/green/
blue) and CMY (cyan/magenta/yellow) of the
projected image to make a fine color adjust-
ment. You can perform the 6-axis color
adjustment in the image adjustment menu.
AdobeRGB (P55, 102)
A color space specification set up by Adobe
systems Incorporated which is applied to
high performance digital cameras, displays
and others. You can project an image with
more accurate color reproduction since Its
has wider color gamut than sRGB.
In SX7 MarkII, if you select [AdobeRGB] in
the [Image mode] setting, the projector can
project the best-quality image conforming to
the AdobeRGB Standard. Please be aware
that color of the projected image may vary
with that of the original image if you project
an AdobeRGB compatible image in sRGB
mode or project an sRGB compatible image
in AdobeRGB mode.
Ambient light* (P108)
Lightning environment around the projector.
You can correct and project an image more
appropriately according to the ambient light
on the screen via the setting of [Ambient
light] if you have selected [Photo] for [Image
mode].
Analog PC (P27, 36, 93)
A signal system used to send analog signal
information of R (red), G (green), and B
(blue). It is a typical system for connecting a
color monitor to a computer. Connect the
analog PC output terminal on the computer
and Input Terminal-1 or Input Terminal-2 on
this projector with a monitor cable. Select
[ANALOG PC-1] for Input Terminal-1 and
[ANALOG PC-2] for Input Terminal-2 at pro-
jection.
Aspect (P57, 73, 90)
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal
(longer) dimension to the vertical (shorter)
dimension of a screen. It is expressed as
longer dimension: shorter dimension. The
following aspect ratio is normally used:
[4:3]
The aspect ratio widely accepted in the stan-
dard screen resolution, for example the tradi-
tional television screen and VGA (640 x 480)
and XGA (1024 x 768) in PC. The aspect ratio
for this projector is 4:3.
[5:4]
This aspect ratio is used if you select the res-
olution such as SXGA (1280X1024) in PC.
The shorter dimension in [5:4] is a little longer
than that in [4:3]. An image with aspect ratio
of 5:4 is properly displayed if you select
[Auto] for [Aspect]; however, the margins are
displayed on both sides of the screen.
[16:9]
The aspect ratio for the high definition or
wide-screen. WXGA (1280 x 768 and 1360 x
768) is used as the aspect ratio close to 16:9
for the wide screen monitor in PC. An image
with aspect ratio of 16:9 is properly displayed
if you select [Auto] for [Aspect]; however, the
margins are displayed at the top and bottom
of the screen.
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 [Wide] for [Aspect]. The black 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 [Wide] for [Aspect]. The
black belts are added at the top and bottom
of the image.

APPENDIX
Color temperature* (P105)
A value that represents the related color in a
light source in general. In this projector, the
color temperature is used to adjust the RGB
color balance for the projected image to cor-
rect the related color influence by the ambi-
ent light. If you increase and decrease the
color temperature, white changes to blue and
red, respectively. You can set the color tem-
perature in the [Color adjustment] menu if
[Photo] has been selected for [Image mode].
Component (P27, 64, 92)
A signal system in which an image is trans-
mitted by being broken down the brightness
signal (Y) and the color signal (C) into the B-Y
color difference signal and the R-Y color dif-
ference signal. Its image quality is higher
than that of the composite video. This system
can project a better-quality image as com-
pared with the composite signal system.
Connect the component video terminal on
the AV equipment and the ANALOG IN-2 ter-
minal on this projector with a component
cable. Select [COMPONENT] at projection.
Composite (P27, 66)
A video signal system used to send a bright-
ness signal (Y) and a color signal (C)
together. Connect the composite output
(RCA) terminal on the AV equipment and the
VIDEO IN terminal on this projector with a
video cable. Select [VIDEO] at projection.
Digital PC (P27, 37)
A signal system used to send digital informa-
tion of individual display dots. This system is
free from deterioration of image quality
because of no analog conversion. Connect
the DVI output terminal on the computer and
Input Terminal-1 on this projector with a DVI
connection cable. Select [DIGITAL PC] at
projection.
DVI (P37, 48, 65, 70)
A digital video signal connection interface for
a computer and AV equipment. This interface
allows digital data to be transmitted without
converting to analog data, assuring high
image quality with no signal degradation. The
DVI-I (integrated) connector can be used to
transmit both an analog video signal and dig-
ital video signal.
Gain (P105)
A parameter that adjusts the reproduction
range of a brightness signal from black to
white within the image signal to naturally
reproduce it on the screen. The reproducibil-
ity of the bright tone is mainly changed. Since
you can adjust the gain for each RGB color in
this projector, you can also adjust colors. The
gain is normally adjusted with the offset.
Gamma Correction (P104, 106)
A tone adjustment system used during pro-
jection of image data. The gamma correction
function works effectively when portions of an
image are obscure because they are too light
or dark.
This projector supports manual gamma cor-
rection and dynamic gamma correction
which performs the gamma correction auto-
matically.
HDCP
An abbreviation of High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection which is an encryption
technology for copy protection of digital
image signals. In this projector, you can
project digital contents copy-protected with
the HDCP technology. To project the con-
tents, connect the Input Terminal-1 on the
projector and an HDMI terminal or DVI termi-
nal on an AV equipment with a dedicated
cable, and then select [DIGITAL VIDEO] from
the [INPUT] menu. 
						

							136
APPENDIX
HDMI (P65, 70)
A digital video signal connection interface for
an AV equipment. Its terminal is more com-
pact than the DVI terminal. It allows to trans-
mit video and audio signals simultaneously.
Memorized Color Correction (P107)
A memorized color is a color in our memory.
The memorized color such as blue for the sky
is more vivid than the real color, so you may
feel colors of a projected image are dull. If
such is the case, enable the memorized color
correction function to make the colors close
to the ones in our memory. You can enable
the memorized color correction function in
the image adjustment menu.
Offset (P105)
A parameter that shifts the reproduction
range of a brightness signal from black to
white within an image signal toward the
higher or lower level of brightness. The repro-
ducibility of the dark tone is mainly changed.
Since you can adjust the offset for each RGB
color in this projector, you can also adjust
colors. The offset is normally adjusted with
the gain.
Progressive (P96)
An image display system used to display the
entire screen per scan. For an interlace sig-
nal (video signal) that displays one screen by
two scans (one for odd lines and one for
even lines) is input, progressive processing
is required. When the progressive function is
turned off, one screen is displayed using
image signals per interlace signal, deteriorat-
ing the vertical resolution of the image. When
the progressive function is turned on, one
screen is displayed using image signals per
two interlace signals, improving the vertical
resolution of the image. Turn off the progres-
sive function when flickering and horizontal
lines are noticeable on a fast-moving picture.
Resolution (P44, 91)
The number of dots (horizontal dots x vertical
dots) that can be displayed on a computer is
called “resolution of display”. Resolution indi-
cates the size of the display area (amount of
information).
If you select SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050 dots)
as the display resolution for the connecting
computer, this projector can project high-res-
olution images. If your computer does not
have the SXGA+ option, select the maximum
resolution among the selectable options.
sRGB (P55, 102)
An international standard of color representa-
tion (color space) which is applied to general
digital cameras, displays and others. In this
projector, if you select [sRGB] in the [Image
mode] setting, the projector can project the
best-quality image conforming to the sRGB
Standard.

S-video (P27, 66, 92)
A signal system (YC separation signal) used
to send a brightness signal (Y) and color sig-
nal (C) separately. Connect the S-video ter-
minal on the AV equipment and the S-VIDEO
IN terminal on this projector with an S-video
cable. Select [S-VIDEO] at projection.
Tracking (P93)
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. This process is
called the tracking. This projector can dis-
play an image properly by automatically
adjust the tracking with the auto PC adjust-
ment function even if there is a small differ-
ence in the synchronization signal from an
analog imaging device.
Video (P27, 66, 92)
An output terminal widely used in an AV
equipment. It is also called as a composite
output terminal (pin terminal or RCA termi-
nal). For more details, refer to Composite.
