Display Tech

The technology used inside your projector to display images. For example, LCD or DLP. For a more indepth explanation of these technologies, please refer to our Display Definition reference guide in the Resources section of our site.

Data Signals

This is a listing of the data signals that can be displayed by a projector. Most projectors are compatible with Macintosh and PC computers and most projectors can display images in a higher or lower resolution. However, for the optimal performance of your projector, it is recommended that you match the resolution of the projector to that of your computer.

Digital signal processing (DSP)

The system DSP (digital signal processing) provides multiple surround modes, providing optimum surround sound during playback using various combinations of surround speakers front, left, right, center and surround. Digital signal processing (DSP) has become the foundation of the Digital Revolution. You'll find digital signal processors (DSPs) at the

Digital

Is the system of data or values in the form of image data is not continuous or separated. When the data are presented in digital form can be processed, stored, recorded and played back easily while maintaining their original integrity.

Dichroic Prism

It is a mirror, reflector or filter which selectively reflects different light waves, allowing a projector to transmit visible light but with less temperature. Dichroic mirrors are also used for internal convergence in multimedia projectors that work with system LCD and DLP projection. LCD projectors - start with a source of light (lamp) and split the light

DVI (Digital Video Interface)

A computer-style connection of multiple pins designed to transmit video signals from high-resolution digital receivers (with apacity for HDTV, DIRECTV, DishNetwork, and boxes of cables, plus a few DVD players) to HDTV monitors with a connector compatible. The signals are encoded with Digital Content Protection High Bandwidth (HDCP) to prevent recording. DVI

DTV (Digital Television)

The new U.S. digital TV standard, which began its operation in late 1998 and eventually will replace the analogue system of NTSC 60 years. DTV comes in two basic variations: wide screen, cinematic quality of HDTV (High-Definition Television) with Dolby Digital audio, and SDTV (Standard Definition TV) of average quality.

Down Convert (Conversion descending)

  A term used to describe the format conversion of a number of input resolution to a higher number of lower screen, as an input to a 1080i screen 480i. Some HDTV tuners can convert descendingly HDTV digital signals for display on a regular analog TV.

Dolby Digital

A discrete audio format for digital multi-channel which is the official audio standard for HDTV (and DVD). Dolby Digital sound is usually associated with "surround" 5.1 channel. Although this configuration is common channel, is just one of many possible variations - a sound track "Dolby Digital" can mean anything from 1 to 5.1 channels.

Direct Image Projector

The type of conventional TV and more commonly used, which uses a CRT (up to 36 ") to display images. Other types include flat-screen TV, projection and front projector.

D-ILA, or Direct-drive Image Light Amplifier

JVC proprietary version of LCOS. In 1998, JVC produced the first projector using liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) microdisplay technology for image projection. LCOS technology “sandwiches” liquid crystals between a cover glass and a silicon chip with an aluminum matrix of pixels with improvements in contrast, lamp life, fan noise, and color

Digital Audio Output (digital audio output)

A connection that is located in HDTV tuners and HDTV to send Dolby Digital audio transmissions of HDTV receiver to an A / V decoder with Dolby Digital. The two most common types of outlets are coaxial and optical digital Toslink. A digital audio output port is available if you need to direct the audio to an audio receiver.

Digital Visual Interface (DVI)

This port in the projectors can connect a computer directly to the projector without an analog conversion. DVI is a standard that defines the digital interface between digital devices. Devices that support DVI allow for digital-to-digital connections, eliminating the conversion to analog, and delivering an undistorted image. Normally the signal from a

Disproportionate lenses

A disproportionate lens is a lens that has different optical properties along a perpendicular radio. This offers the opportunity to project an image source with a 4:3 aspect, in various aspects such as 16:9, using various magnifier for the projected image in their vertical and horizontal dimensions.

Distance of reach

You need to know how far you must install your projector to complete the space on the screen. Still mounted on its base, each projector must be capable of projecting different picture sizes. The projector manufacturers produce charts and listed the size of the screen depending on the distance that is the projector. We recommend reviewing these tables before
