on) and the light output of an all black (full off) image. 
2ANSI — measures a pattern of 16 alternating black and white rectangles. The 
average light output from the white rectangles is...

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 
projector from a fixed distance. For example, a 1.4:1 zoom lens ratio means that a
