GlossaryComplex terms used in this book, or terms not explained in the body of 
the text, will be briefly explained here. For further explanation, please 
consult commercially available reference texts.
5BNCA type of connector used to input analog video 
signals.
Aspect ratioThe ratio between an images length and its height. 
Images which have an aspect ratio of 16:9 are called 
Widescreen. The aspect ratio for standard images is 
4:3.
Color 
TemperatureThe temperature of an object which is emitting light. 
When the colour temperature is high, colours tend to 
take on a bluish tinge; when the colour temperature 
is low, colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.
Component 
VideoA type of video signal which has the video 
brightness and colour signal information 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 VideoThe standard home video signal (NTSC, PAL, 
SECAM) which has the video brightness and colour 
signal information mixed together. Composite video 
consists of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) 
and the chroma (colour) signal, combined within the 
colour bar 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, or appear softer. 
Adjusting this particular property of an image is 
called contrast adjustment.
Cool-downThe process used to cool down a projector lamp that 
is hot from use. Cool-down happens automatically 
when the [Power] button is pressed on the projector 
or on the remote control to turn the projector off. Do 
not unplug the projector power cable whilst it is 
cooling down. If cool-down is interrupted, heat from 
the lamp gets trapped inside the projector, potentially 
shortening the life of the lamp and causing projector 
failure.
Dolby 
digitalAn audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories. 
Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two 
speakers, whereas Dolby Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-
channel) system which adds a centre speaker, two 
rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
HDTVAn 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
g, i=Interlaced scanning
g)
 Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
 Dolby digital
gl audio reception and playback (or 
output)
Interlaced 
scanningEach screen is divided into fine horizontal lines 
which are displayed in sequence starting from left to 
right and then from top to bottom. This method of 
image scanning, whereby even numbered lines and 
odd numbered lines are displayed alternately, is 
called Interlaced scanning.
Progressive 
scanningA method of image scanning whereby the image data 
from a single image is scanned sequentially from top 
to bottom to create a single image.

EMP-S1 User’s Guide Appendices > Glossary
Refresh RateThe light-emitting element of a display maintains the 
same luminosity and colour for an extremely short 
time. For this reason, 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).
Resized displayThis function is used to project computer images that 
have a resolution more than or less than the 
projectors panel resolution, 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 
lockA 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.
Squeeze 
modeThe method of compressing 16:9 Widescreen images 
and recording them on video software as 4:3 images.
When projecting with Squeeze mode on, the images 
will return 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.
SVGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 800 
(horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by 
IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
S-VideoA type of video signal which has the video 
brightness and colour signal information 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).
Sync.
(Synchronisation)The signals output from computers have a specific 
frequency. Image quality will suffer if the projector 
frequency and the computer frequency do not match. 
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 synchronised, problems such as flickering, 
blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
TrackingThe signals output from computers have a specific 
frequency. Image quality will suffer if the projector 
frequency and the computer frequency do not match. 
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.
VGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 640 
(horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by 
IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
XGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 1,024 
(horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by 
IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

YCbCrThe carrier signal contained in the colour bar signal 
used in modern (NTSC) TV transmissions. The 
name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the 
CbCr (chroma (colour)) signals.
YPbPrThe carrier signal contained in the colour bar signal 
used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. 
The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and 
the PbPr (colour difference) signals.
