How Acer ColorBoost technology works
Optimized 6-segment colour-wheel design
Lifelike colour reproduction
Most DLP ® projectors render images using a traditional colour wheel with 3 primary colors: red, green, blue.
The combination of these 3 colours allows only colours within the triangular region bounded by those 3 colours to be displayed, making it difficult to show brilliant yellows and cyans that are commonly found in natural scenes.
Maximized colour and brightness
The colour, number of segments, and angles of each colour are designed to suit all usage scenarios, ensuring that colours are projected as precisely and efficiently as possible in any environment.
Acer’s 6-segment colour wheels diminish the rainbow effect by reproducing colours at double the frequency rate of
3- or 4- segment colour wheels.

Glossary
ANSI
AutoScan
Abbreviation for American National Standards Institute.
ANSI is an American organisation (member of the ISO), which produces uniform regulations/standards and monitors their compliance. ANSI standards are recognised worldwide. The standards for calculating display screen brightness in lumen are particularly interesting for projection technology.
This function automatically synchronises the data video projector with the display screen mode of the computer and at the same time corrects the tracking
(frame width) and H-phase (fine adjustment for optimum frame width).
Electronic
Scaling
Freeze
Brightness
Cinch
All manufacturers are fighting to increase the brightness of the projected image. Brightness is measured in terms of 'ANSI Lumens' and the brightest machines command a premium price. Projectors in the range 300-600 lumens are best used away from direct daylight and with no office lighting. Units in the range 600-1,000 lumens can be used in most office condition away from direct sunlight.
Units above 1,200 lumens are ideal for larger offices and conference rooms. No projector can really compete against direct sunlight!
Cinch connections are used for sound and video transmissions. The cinch socket for video is often marked with a yellow ring. The connections for the left-hand/right-hand sound channel are usually white and red respectively.
Component Component video is the most common type of video high-quality signal available today. While a composite cable carries the entire video signal on a single cable, component video cables split the signal in three.
This connection gives a much better image than do composite or S-video connections; the projector you buy should have at least one of these inputs.
Contrast
DLP ®
Contrast attracts less attention but is important. Contrast measures the difference in light intensity between the dark and light areas of the screen. A high contrast figure is best; typically data projectors work in the range
150 to 400. DLP ® technology units tend to produce a higher contrast image.
DLP ® stands for Digital Light Processing ™ . It is a digital,
DVI
Eco-Mode reflective technology, which was developed by Texas
Instruments. Digital projection provides an imaging quality that satisfies the highest standards. These include natural colours, even graphic display. Data is displayed without colour convergence problems, as the technology manages with only one transmitter.
(digital video interface) is an interface for transmitting digital video and graphic data. It was developed by the computer industry for high-end graphic cards and high-resolution TFT displays to a standard interface.
DVI is fully upward compatible with HDMI.
High-efficiency feature that doubles lamp life while providing quieter operation. This smart innovation saves money and eliminates the hassle of frequent lamp replacement.

If a data video projector detects a computer mode that doesn't equate to the original resolution of the projector, it converts the mode. The aim is usually to achieve a display that fills the largest possible area of the screen or monitor. Data video projectors for business use often provide the comfort feature of recalculating the mode so that the display quality remains optimal.
Also known as "Still Picture", the "Freeze" function allows the presenter to freeze-frame their presentation on the projector, allowing the audience to see only that slide, while the presenter can successfully toggle their documents on the PC desktop.
When ready, the presenter can depress the freeze function and continue the presentation.
The Acer Empowering Key on the remote control or the projector control panel offers a quick, easy way to access
Acer Empowering Technology tools: Acer eView Management allows users to select the optimal display mode depending on the content type. Acer eTimer Management lets the user set a timer function during presentations. A timer and reminder are displayed on the screen, and an alarm sounds when time is up. Acer eOpening Management encourages users to select their own projector startup image, such as a company logo or personalized picture.
(High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is the copy protection system for the new DVI and HDMI digital video interfaces. To ensure problem-free functioning of the DVI and
HDMI interfaces for video data, HDCP must be correctly implemented by the manufacturer in both connected devices.
(High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a interface for fully digital transmission of audio and video data. HDMI was developed by the industry specifically for the home entertainment segment, which is seeing the increasing use of digital components and in which software is also increasingly available in primarily digital form (e.g. DVD, DVB, BluRay etc.)
Abbreviation for High Definition TeleVision.
This technique transmits high definition television pictures
(1,000 to 1,200 lines).
If the presentation device projects upwards at an angle to the screen (not at right angles), the image is distorted in a trapezium form. Modern data video projector electronics can be used to correct the distortion. The image points/pixels are compressed and the image is slightly reduced in size. Also called trapezium correction.
The Kensington Lock is a universal security system, which is often used for data video projectors (beamers), notebooks and laptops.
It consists of a steel cable with a lock, which is passed around an immovable object and then inserted into a corresponding interface of the product to be secured.
In video terms, a playback system which first draws in alternate lines sequentially, then fills in the remaining information. The opposite is non-interlaced or progressive.

Front projectors start as low as 1,000 lumens and can reach an output of more than 2,500 lumens.
Video projectors featuring DLP ® technology come with both standard (4:3) and wide screen (16:9) "native" resolutions.
In other words, the chip inside the projector, which is like a miniature version of the image it helps create, is shaped in the specified 4:3 or 16:9 dimension. Most projectors can switch between 4:3 and 16:9 ratios—you will see black bars either on the sides or top and bottom of your projected image when they do so. If you will be using your projector for standard TV,
HDTV and DVDs, make sure your projector can switch between these modes.
Amount of noise emitted from projector. Lower numbers mean less noise is generated. A very soft whisper is approximately 30 dB.
RS 232C
SHP lamp
Abbreviation for Recommended Standard 232-C. An interface that is used for serial data transmission. Modern data video projectors can be integrated in larger systems and operated via an external control unit. This control unit is connected to the
RS232 interface of the projector.
The abbreviation stands for Super High Performance.
It is a new type of metal vapour lamp that e.g. is used in data video projectors. SHP lamps produce a lot of light but consume little energy and provide a colour temperature similar to that of daylight.
Abbreviation for On-Screen Display. Also called Menu Assistance.
The image parameters of a data video projector can be set using a menu window.
UHB / UHP
USB
UHB stands for Ultra High Brightness, UHP for Ultra High
Pressure. This is a modern type of lamp that is particularly powerful, however consumes little energy. This lamp is increasingly being used for data video projectors.
Abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus, a standard interface for many Apple-Macintoshes and PCs. Hardware components are automatically detected and configured by the computer and are therefore ready for use immediately.
Abbreviation for Super Video Graphics Adapter or Super VGA.
Display screen standard with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
A term that is also popular in data video projection. Plug &
Play projectors communicate directly with the computer connected to them and synchronise themselves automatically.
The user only has to connect the cables and switches the appliances on so that they are ready for presentation.
Rainbow effect (or colour separation) can be caused by the spinning colour wheel used in single chip DLP projectors, where the image is created by one DMD (Digital Mirror Device) and the colour is added by shinning the reflected light through a spinning multi-segment colour wheel. By using DLP
Technology, projectors can be made lighter in weight and smaller in design while also producing contrast ratios of up to
2000:1 and beyond. Rainbow effect can be seen in varying degrees from person to person and manifests itself by the appearance of a coloured shimmer on the following edge of moving images, partially in high contrasting scenes.
To overcome this minor problem some manufacturers have developed faster spinning and more segmented colour wheels.
Digital images are made up of a number of individual points or dots, which are called pixels and the number of pixels varies depending on the graphic card and software. Resolution is given in pixels. To ensure the best picture quality, you can adjust your laptop's resolution setting to match the projector's native resolution.
Abbreviated form of additive colour mixture (Red, Green, Blue).
Data video projectors use the RGB colour model and make up all colours from the primary colours red, green and blue.
SVGA
S-Video and
Composite
Nearly all projectors featuring DLP ® technology will have at least one composite and one S-video connection. S-video cables differ
Video from composite cables in that they split the video signal into two different components, luminance and chrominance, resulting in a significantly better image than a composite cable can provide.

UXGA
Abbreviation for Extended Video Graphics Adapter. A display screen standard with a resolution of maximum 1,024 x 768 pixels. It is currently the most common business standard.
