Features of the Projector

Colour mode function

The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily obtain the optimum images simply by selecting the image quality.

In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow images to be projected in their natural tints.

Troublesome colour adjustments can thus be avoided.

Brightness Control

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings. If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are too bright, change the setting to "Low".

In addition, when the setting is changed to "Low", the amount of power consumed and noise produced are reduced and the operating life of the lamp can be extended.

• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%

• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 10%

• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life

Compact and lightweight while producing beautiful, crisp images

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page (24

(D)

× 31.5 (W) × 8.7 (H) cm (9.45 (D) × 12.4 (W) × 3.43 (H) in.) and is light in weight (approximately 2.9 kg. (6.4 lbs)), making it easy to carry.

Clear and attractive images can be obtained even in bright locations.

Password protect function assists administration and theft prevention

If the password Protect function is employed, a password can be used to limit operation of the projector and changing of settings. This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature.

Composite video

Contrast

Cool-down

Dolby Digital

EMP Link 21L

HDTV

Interlaced scanning

Progressive scanning

A port used to input analogue video signals.

The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the absolute colour temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a bluish tinge. If the absolute colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.

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.

Video 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).

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.

The 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".

This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. Cool-down is carried out automatically when the [Power] button is pressed to turn off the power. Do not disconnect the power cable 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 projector's 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.

A 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.

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.

94

Glossary

95

Refresh rate The 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

SDTV

Security lock

Squeeze mode

This function is used to project computer images that have a resolution more than or less than the projector's panel resolution to be projected so that they fill the whole of the projection area.

An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television.

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.

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.

sRGB

SVGA

S-Video

SXGA

An 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.

A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal)

× 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

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).

A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal)

× 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

Sync. (Synchronization)

The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment 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.

Tracking The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment 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.

USB
