Glossary

Analog Broadcast

An existing broadcasting signal transmitted by a broadcasting station in accordance with the NTSC standard.

ANTENNA IN Port

This is the port for connecting a TV antenna using a coaxial cable. It is generally used to watch public broadcast programs.

Black Level

Black Level sets the light level of the darkest portion of the video signal to match that of the display's black level capability so that users can clearly view dark visuals. If the setting does not match the input signal, the dark screen is saturated and may not display properly or the dark screen looks milky-white.

Cable Broadcast

Cable Broadcast broadcasts programs via cable instead of radio waves. To view cable broadcasts, you have to subscribe to your local cable broadcast service provider and install an additional receiver.

Color Standard

A pre-determined default color standard determined by the broadcasting standard of the corresponding country or area.

Color Temperature

Color temperature is a simplified way to characterize the spectral properties of a light source. A low color temperature implies a warmer (more yellow/red) light while a high color temperature implies a colder (more blue) light.

COMPOSITE IN Port

A COMPOSITE IN Port is a general video input port (yellow). Both chrominance and luminance are transmitted on the same 75-ohm cable.

Component Port (Green, Blue, Red)

The Component Port separately transmits the luminance signal.

Digital Broadcast

Digital Broadcast is a television broadcasting signal digitized and transmitted according to the United States terrestrial digital broadcast specifications, or ATSC.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)

DVD is a large capacity media disk that can save multimedia content such as video, games, audio applications, etc. using MPEG-2 video compression technology on a CD size disc.

DLP (Digital Light Processing)

DLP is a digital display technology using a DMD panel developed by TI (Texas Instruments) of the United States.

DLP HD2, DC2, DC3

This is a grade of DMD panel.

DMD (Digital Micromirror Device)

A DMD panel is an implementation of DLP technology. It consists of microscopic mirrors where each mirror represents a pixel.

External Input

External Input is connecting video devices such as a VCR, camcorder, DTV receiver, DVD, etc. to the projector as a video source.

8 Gamma Mode

Gamma Mode compensates the video signal produced for analog display devices such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) so that the video signal can be clearly displayed on a digital display device.

HDMI

▶ HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.

The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.

Overscan

Overscan cuts the edge of the picture when there is unnecessary information, images or noise at the edge of the picture. For extremely poor video signals, some unnecessary video signals may be displayed on the screen.

RS-232C Port (Service Input Port)

This port is provided for service purposes. This port provides data communication in accordance with the RS-232C communication standard.

S-Video IN Port

This is called super video. S-Video is a type of video signal which has the video brightness and color signal separated in order to provide a better image quality.

Satellite Broadcast

Satellite Broadcast broadcasts programs via satellite so that the program can be viewed in all area in a high visual and sound quality. Approximately 100 channels including public broadcast channels are provided. To view satellite broadcasts, you have to install an additional receiver.
