Appendix E: glossary of terms
Contrast (electronic control)
The adjustment of the white point of the image without affecting the black point. This increases the intensity range of the displayed image.
Contrast (optical)
The intensity difference between the darkest and lightest areas of the screen.
Cr, Cb
Color difference signals used with ‘Y’ for digital Component Video inputs. They provide information about the signal color. Not to be confused with Pr, Pb.
Crop
Remove part of the projected image. Alternatively, fit an image into a frame with a different aspect ratio by removing part of the image. The image is
resized so that either its length or its width equals the length or width of the frame, while the other dimension has moved outside the frame; the excess
area is then cut out.
D
Dark time
The time inserted between frames when using 3D active glasses, to avoid ghosting caused by switching time between left and right eye.
DDC (Display Data Channel)
A communications link between the source and projector. DDC is used on the HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs. The link is used by the source to read the EDID
stored in the projector.
Deinterlacing
The process of converting interlaced video signals into progressive ones.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A network protocol that is used to configure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP network, for example by allocating an IP address.
DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™)
The optical tool that transforms the electronic signal from the input source into an optical image projected on the screen. The DMD™ of a projector has a
fixed resolution, which affects the aspect ratio of the projected image. A Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) consists of moving microscopic mirrors.
Each mirror, which acts as a pixel, is suspended between two posts by a thin torsion hinge. It can be tilted to produce either a bright or dark pixel.
E
Edge blend
A method of creating a combined image by blending the adjoining edges of two or more individual images.
