GlossaryThe following table contains explanations of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which are not explained in the text of the guide. 
Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.
3-2 pull-down functionThis function directly converts image sources that have been recorded in the same 24-frame format used for movies into 60-
frame progressive signals. This allows data such as DVD software that has been recorded in 24-frame format to be played 
back on large screens with more natural and accurate reproduction, without any loss of image quality from the original movie.
5BNC
A port used to input analogue video signals.
Aspect ratioThe ratio between an images length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The 
aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.
Colour temperature
The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a bluish 
tinge. If the colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.
Component videoVideo signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals separated, in order to provide better image quality. In 
high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and 
Pr (colour difference signals).
Composite video
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used 
by household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats). 
The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal which are contained in the colour bar are overlapped to 
form a single signal.
ContrastThe relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and 
graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called 
contrast adjustment.
Cool-down
This is the process by which the projectors lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. It is carried out 
automatically when the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projectors control panel has been pressed to turn  
the projector off. Do not disconnect the power cord while cool-down is in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not 
work properly. If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally, the projectors lamp and internal components will 
remain at high temperatures, and this may shorten the operating life of the lamp or cause problems with the operation of the 
projector.
DFPAbbreviation for Digital Flat Panel. Refers to a standard method for digital transmission of video signals.
DHCP
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration protocol, which is a protocol for automatically assigning an IP address
 for 
devices that are connected to a network.
Dolby DigitalA sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two speakers. Dolby 
Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
DV I
(DVI-D)
Abbreviation for Digital Visual Interface. Refers to a standard method for digital transmission of video signals.
DVI is a standard which has also been applied to digital household electronic equipment other than computers. It allows 
images to be transmitted at higher resolutions than for DFP, and also includes a digital signal encoding function.

Film judgment function
A function for judging whether an image source is a 24 Hz progressive film source or not.
GatewayA server (router) that is used for communication over a network (subnet) that is divided up using subnet masks.
HDTV
An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressive
scanning, i = interlaced
scanning)
Screen aspect ratio
of 16:9
Dolby Digital
audio reception and playback (or output)
InterlacedA method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence 
starting from left to right and then from the top to the bottom of the screen. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines 
are displayed alternately.
IP address
A series of numbers that identifies a device that is connected to a network.
MAC addressAbbreviation for Media Access Control address. A MAC address is a unique ID number that is assigned to each network 
adapter. All network adapters are assigned this unique address, and these are used as the basis for communication between 
each network adapter.
Progressive
A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create 
a single image.
Refresh rateThe light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, 
the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh 
operations per second is called the refresh rate, and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
Resize display
This function is used to project computer images that have a resolution more than or less than the projectors panel resolution 
to be projected so that they fill the whole of the projection area.
SDTVAn abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions 
for High-Definition Television.
Security lock
A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed 
through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System 
manufactured by Kensington.
SNMPAbbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol. In TCP/IP networks, this protocol is used for communication 
between routers and other devices that are connected to the network such as computers and terminals so that these devices can 
be monitored and controlled over the network.
Squeeze mode
In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the 
recording medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.
sRGBAn international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment 
can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.

Subnet mask
A series of numbers that define the number of bits to be used for network addresses in a network (subnet) that is divided up 
according to IP addresses.
SVGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ×
 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible 
computers.
S-Video
A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated in order to provide better image quality.
It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (colour signal).
SXGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ×
 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible 
computers.
Sync (Synchronisation)
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the 
resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the 
crests and troughs in the signal) is called synchronisation. If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, 
blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
Tr a c k i n gThe signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the 
resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in 
the signal) is called tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.
Trap IP address
An IP address
 for the destination computer when SNMP reports that a problem has occurred.
USBAn abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. USB is an interface for connecting personal computers to peripheral devices which 
only support relatively low data transmission speeds.

List of ESC/VP21 CommandsCommand List
When a power ON command is sent to the projector, the power for the 
projector turns on. When the projector is in a command ready state, it 
returns the 3Ah (:) code.
Furthermore, when command processing is complete, the projector also 
returns a : code.
The : code status can be used to determine whether the projector is ready 
or busy. If command processing terminates with an error, an error message 
is output and then the : code is sent.
