Glossary 75GlossaryANSI LUMENS —A standard for measuring light output, used for comparingprojectors.A SPECT RATIO —The most popular aspect ratio is 4:3 (4 by 3). Early television andcomputer video formats are in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means that the width ofthe image is 4/3 times the height.BACKLIT (B ACKLIGHT ) —Refers to a remote control, or a projector control panel, thathas buttons and controls that are illuminated.Bandwidth— The number of cycles per second (Hertz) expressing the differencebetween the lower and upper limiting frequencies of a frequency band; also, thewidth of a band of frequencies.Brightness— The amount of light emitting from a display or projection display orprojection device. The brightness of projector is measured by ANSI lumens.Color Temperature— A method of measuring the whiteness of a light source.Metal halide lamps have a higher temperature compared to halogen orincandescent lights.Component Video—A method of delivering quality video in a format thatcontains all the components of the original image. These components are referredto as luma and chroma and are defined as Y'Pb'Pr' for analog component andY'Cb'Cr' for digital component. Component video is available on DVD players andprojectors.Composite Video — The combined picture signal, including vertical andhorizontal blanking and synchronizing signals.Compression— A function that deletes resolution lines from the image to fit inthe display area.Compressed SVGA— To project an 800x600 image to a VGA projector, theoriginal 800x600 signal must be compressed down. The data displays all theinformation with only two thirds of the pixels (307,000 vs 480,000). The resultingimage is SVGA page size but sacrifices some of the image quality. If you are usingan SVGA computers, connecting VGA to a VGA projector. provide better results.Compressed SXGA— Found on XGA projectors, compressed SXGA handlingallows these projectors to handle up to 1280x1024 SXGA resolution.Compressed XGA— Found on SVGA projectors, compressed XGA handlingallows these projectors to handle 1024x768 XGA resolution.Downloaded From projector-manual.com DELL Manuals
