Appendix C: Detailed Setup Information C-1. Setting Representation, Resolution Most computers do not just support one single screen mode but rather a series of different modes which differ in type of representation (text or full graphic), resolution (number of pixels) and number of colors. Pre-stored standard mode settings for a variety of IBM compatible and Apple Macintosh computers help the projector to recognize the current mode and adjust for optimum performance automatically.
8. Synchronize the phase position of the pixel frequency and scanning frequency. Choose the menu item Sync. Image interference’s and flickers can be observed with some settings as shown in the following figure: 9. In a range of several settings an image is projected that is free of interference. If the sync-setting is correct, the image will improve as shown in following figure: 10. An automatic setting of the synchronization can be called up by using the ENTER key. 11.

Glossary Glossary of Terms Amorphous Silicon See Thin-Film Transistor. Composite video A video signal that combines all color and timing components of the picture in a single input line. The U.S. standard is NTSC. European standards are PAL and SECAM. Hz, KHz, MHz (Hertz, Kilohertz, Megahertz) Hertz is a unit of measurement used to express the frequency, in cycles per second, of an electrical signal or event. (Kilohertz = 1000, Megahertz = 1 million cycles per second).
Refresh rate The number of times the screen image is “painted” or refreshed per second, expressed in Hz. Remote control sensor The remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. It receives signals from the remote control transmitter (direct line-of-site or bounced off of the projection screen) which control the different operating functions of the projector. See remote control transmitter.
