An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically assigns an IP Address
g to equipment 
connected to a Network.
DICOM
An acronym for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. An international standard that defines image standards and a 
communications protocol for medical images.
HDCP
HDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect 
copyrights by encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI input ports. Digital images protected by HDCP technology can 
be projected with this projector because the projector's HDMI input ports are compatible with HDCP. However, the projector 
may not be able to project images protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP encryption.

An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
•Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = Progressive
g, i = Interlace
g)
•Screen Aspect Ratio
g of 16:9
IP Address
A number to identify a computer connected to a Network.
S-Video
A Video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.
Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (color signal).
SDI
An abbreviation for Serial Digital Interface. The projector is compatible with both SD-SDI (Standard Definition) and HD-SDI (High 
Definition) methods.
SDTV
An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions 
for HDTV
g High-Definition Television.
SNMP
An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as 
routers and computers connected to a TCP/IP Network.
sRGB

A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) ^ 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible 
computers.
Aspect Ratio(Aspect Ratio)The ratio between an image's 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.Ad hoc mode
A method of wireless LAN connection that communicates with wireless LAN clients without using an access point.
Interlace
A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting 
from left to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.
Infrastructure mode
A method for wireless LAN connection in which devices communicate through access points.
Gateway address(Gateway Address)This is a server (router) for communicating across a network (subnet) divided according to subnet masks
g.
Contrast
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased 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.
Component Video
A Video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.
Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (color difference signals).
Composite video
Video signals that have the video brightness signals and color 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 (color) signal 
that are contained in the color bar are overlapped to form a single signal.
Subnet mask
(Subnet Mask)
This is a numerical value that defines the number of bits used for the network address on a divided network (subnet) from the IP Address
g.
Sync.
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the 
resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests 
and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal 
interference occur. 
						

							Glossary
208
Tracking
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the 
resulting images are not 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 appear in the signal.
Trap IP Address
This is the IP Address
g for the destination computer used for error notification in SNMP.
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 Rate
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the 
image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per 
second is called the Refresh Rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

Important Safety Instructions
•Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes. 
						

							General Notes
210
•Do not carry the projector by yourself. Two people should use the handles to carry the projector when unpacking or moving it.
•Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. When projecting images vertically, install the projector correctly and appropriately to 
prevent it from turning over and falling.
•Do not operate the projector on its side, while tilted to one side, or upside down. Do not tilt the projector forward or back at a greater angle than that 
specified for vertical keystone correction. sp.164
•If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector. 
Also, when mounting the projector on the ceiling, make sure to pass a wire through the handles to prevent it from falling.
•If you use a ceiling mount and apply adhesives to the mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the projector, the 
projector case may crack and the projector may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage 
the projector. When installing or adjusting a ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.
•Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
•Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity.
•Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for 
cleaning. Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol, thinner or benzine.
•Do not use any spray containing a flammable gas to remove dirt or dust that is adhering to parts such as the lens or filter of the projector.
•Contact your dealer to clean the interior of the projector. If the interior of the projector has not been cleaned for a long time, dust may build up, which 
could cause fire or electric shock.
•Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
•Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to excessive dust or smoke.
•Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to flammable, corrosive, or explosive gases. Because the lamp inside the projector becomes very hot 
during use, the gases may ignite and result in a fire.
•Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots or openings.
•Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle.
•Incorrect battery usage may cause leakage of battery fluid and battery rupture, which could result in fire, injury or corrosion of the projector. When 
replacing batteries, take the following precautions: Insert batteries so that the polarities (+ and -) are correct, do not use batteries of different types, do 
not mix old and new batteries, and do not use any batteries other than those specified in this User’s Guide. Replace the batteries as soon as they run out 
and remove the batteries if you will not be using the projector for a long period of time. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame and do not put them in 
water. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Keep these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking hazards and are 
very dangerous if swallowed. If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a soft cloth. If battery fluid gets on your hands, wash them immediately.
