Abs. Color Temp.

bluish tinge. If the absolute colour temperature is

Aspect ratio
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.
Component video
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 cons
ist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb
and Pr (colour difference signals).
Composite video
Video signals which have the video bright
ness signals and colour signals mixed toge
ther. The type of signals commonly used
by household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats).
The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) si

colour bar are overlapped to

in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properl
y. If the cool-down period is
not allowed to finish normally,

is may shorten the operating life of the
lamp or cause problems with the operation of the projector.

HDTV
An abbreviation for High-Definition Televi
sion. It refers to high-definition system
s which satisfy the following conditions.
Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p =
progressive scanning
, i = interlaced scanning
)
•Screen aspect ratio
of 16:9
Dolby Digital
audio reception and playback (or output)
Interlaced scanning
A method of image scanning whereby the image
data is divided into fi
ne horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence
starting from left to right and then from the top to the bo
