							Appendix A 
Glossary 
 
020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) A-1 
This appendix defines the specific terms used in this manual as they apply to this projector. Also included are other 
general terms commonly used in the projection industry. 
The time, inside one horizontal scan line, during which video is generated. 
The ability of a screen to reflect ambient light in a direction away from the “line of 
best viewing”. Curved screens usually have good ambient light rejection. Flat screens 
usually have less ambient light rejection. 
The video output of most computers and videotape machines. Analog video can 
generate a large number of colors. 
Having or requiring a linear distortion, generally in the horizontal direction. 
Anamorphic lenses can restore a ‘scope’ (CinemaScope) or ‘flat’ format film frame to 
the correct wide-screen appearance by increasing its horizontal proportion.  
The American National Standards Institute is the organization that denotes the 
measurement standard for lamp brightness. 
An Ethernet communication protocol that was developed by Artistic Licence. It is 
used for controlling lighting/staging equipment from a lighting console or PC 
application.  
The ratio of the width of an image to its height, such as the 4:3 aspect ratio common in 
video output. Can also be expressed as a decimal number, such as 1.77, 1.85 or 2.39. 
The larger the ratio or decimal, the wider and “less square” the image. 
The ability of the projector to automatically recognize and synchronize to the 
horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of an input signal for proper display. 
The frequency range of the projector’s video amplifier. 
The speed (bits-per-second) at which serial communications travel from their origin.  
The time inside one scan line during which video is not generated. The blanking time 
of the input signal must be equal to or greater than the retrace time of the projector. 
In projection, brightness usually describes the amount of light emitted from a surface 
such as a screen. It is measured in foot-lamberts or candelas per square meter. 
Unit of measure for measuring intensity of light. 
A collection of measurements stored by the projector for a given input source, 
including frequencies, pulse width, polarity, syncs, channel number and location, user-  Active Line Time f

adjustable display settings, etc. Use channels to switch between a variety of setups 
quickly, automatically recalling previously defined display parameters. 
A list/menu of previously defined channels available in projector memory. 
A number that uniquely identifies a specific channel retained in projector memory. 
The projector can retain up to 99 channels. 
A menu item that indicates whether an option is currently in effect (checked) or not 
(unchecked). 
The signal representing the color information (hue and saturation) when the image is 
represented as separate chrominance and luminance. Same as “chroma”. 
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. 
A change in the tint of a white field across an image. 
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. 
See YcbCr or YPbPr. 
The output of video tape players and some computers, characterized by 
synchronization, luminance and color signals combined on one output cable. 
The degree of difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the image. 
The alignment of the red, green, and blue elements of a projected image so that they 
appear as a single element. 
A projection screen which is slightly concave for improved screen gain. Curved 
screens usually have screen gains, which are greater than one but viewing angles 
much less than 180
°. Curved screens are not recommended for use with this projector. 
The Display Data Channel VESA standard enables communication between PCs and 
monitors, and is based on E-EDID protocol. 
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 SMPTE-272M signal 
from a Digital HDTV Serial Input Module. 
Digital Micromirror Devices
™ used in this projector for processing red, green, and 
blue color data. 
Located at 
INPUT 3 and INPUT 4, this device converts NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.4, PAL,

020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) A-3 
A type of rear-projection screen which spreads the light striking it. Screen gain is less 
than one but audience viewing angles are increased. 
An adjustment that affects the display of an image. Such display settings include 
contrast, brightness, tint, blanking, size, offsets, and others. 
The maximum frequency of the pixel clock. Also known as pixel clock rate. 
The Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data standard, established by VESA, 
enables properties (such as resolution) of a display device to be detected by the 
display card in a controlling device such as a PC. The PC, in turn, can then output in a 
matching format to fill the display. Some sources used with the projector are VESA E-
EDID reported. 
A very rapid variation in image brightness caused by a frame rate that is too slow. 
(See Interlace) See also Lamp Flicker. 
The intensity of visible light per square foot. 
The luminance (brightness), which results from one foot-candle of illumination falling 
on a perfectly diffuse surface. 
The frequency at which complete images are generated. For non-interlaced signals, 
the frame rate is identical to the vertical frequency. For interlaced signals, the frame 
rate (also known as field rate) is one half of vertical frequency. 
The ability of a screen to direct incident light to an audience. A flat matte white wall 
has a gain of approximately one. Screens with gain less than one attenuate incident 
light; screens with gain more than one direct more incident light to the audience but 
have a narrow viewing angle. For example: An image reflecting off a 10 gain screen 
appears 10 times brighter than it would if reflected off a matte white wall. Curved 
screens usually have larger gain than flat screens. 
General Purpose Input Output, used for remote control of a limited number of 
programmable functions by direct signal or dry-contact connection. 
High-definition Television (1035, 1080 and 1125 lines interlace, and 720 and 1080 
line progressive formats with a 16:9 (i.e. 1.77) aspect ratio. 
A display of help information regarding the current task or presentation.  
The frequency at which scan lines are generated, which varies amongst sources. Also 
called horizontal scan rate or line rate. 
The difference between the center of the projected image and the center of the 
projector lens. For clarity, offset is often expressed as the maximum amount of the 
image that can be projected to one side of the lens center without degrading the image 
quality. Horizontal offset ranges can be affected by the type of lens in use, and 
whether or not the image is offset vertically at the same time. 
A circular area of a screen where the image appears brighter than elsewhere on the 
screen. A hot spot appears along the line of sight and “moves” with the line of sight. 
High gain screens and rear screens designed for slide or movie projection usually have 
a hot spot.   Diffused Screen f
