Screen gain

Gain is the industry term used to measure the amount of light reflecting from a screen surface. No actual light “gain” takes place. Gain measures the screen brightness and directional characteristics. Every screen product on the market has a "gain" factor. Some screens are "low gain" and some are "high gain." Gain

Sharpness

Is the definition of the limits of an image. Sharpness control is a type of computerized edge enhancement. It controls the areas of color transition. Only use the sharpness controls with the aid of a home theater image calibration DVD such as AVIA or Video Essentials. An integral Processing Amplifier allows the adjustment of Brightness, Contrast, Color

SCART

An acronym for Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs. SCART is a French developed standard for interfacing between source and destination AV equipment. It is a 21-pin connector, which provided for through a single connector run all the signals available in an audiovisual home: for example, to connect

Stereo

It is the process by which signals are used separately or separate channels for audio left and right. This will give achieves depth or dimension to the sound. Since stereo tracks contain twice the information of an equivalent mono file, they are twice the size. A three-way speaker system provides stereo sound to complement your presentation visuals. Sound

Signal amplifier

Is the device that allows the connection of an entry from one device to multiple outlets such as monitors or projectors without losing image quality through a coaxial cable. Each output is individually buffered and amplified to help maintain the original signal integrity and eliminate noise interference. Signal amplifier are designed to work with different

Set-Top Box (STB) or Receiver Decoder

“Set top box” (STB) is a term that can include any type of accessory that may connect to the HDTV.  Common STBs are satellite receivers, cable TV receivers, OTA receivers, DVD players, VCRs, and so on.  In the HDTV era, an STB usually has a large memory where the image is reassembled out of the MPEG-2 data. And despite the name, you

SDTV (Standard Definition Television)

A digital television system that is similar to the current standards in image resolution and wide and high regard for display. A class of digital television (DTV) that refers to the 480i format. 480i is an interlaced video format that produces a full frame of 480 lines of video in two successive fields. The first field includes the odd lines and the second

Scaler (multiplier)

Circuit that converts a video signal to a resolution other than its original format by 2 in NTSC, PAL or SECAM. The Line Multiplier optimizes your image quality, brightness. It also eliminates black lines and decreases the flicker. Scaler convert all signals connected to the input to the same common High-Resolution Data Output The conversion involves

Security

Some teams manage Security functions that allow block access to the computer at various levels, from not being able to operate it, not being able to change the settings. Accessory mounting enclosure provides security protection behind a steel bar cage for your ceiling mounted projection equipment and help prevent accidental damage. Projector Security Cable

Shuter & Sealing

This feature allows interrupt the projection without having to turn off the projector, the screen will go black and returns to the projection for all their luminosity instantly when it was interrupted. A mechanical lens shutter minimizes annoying light leakage when the projector is on standby or temporarily not in use, such as during a meeting. This is a

Slides projector (OHP)

A device that has a light source, reflecting a platform, and a set of lenses to focus on. An OHP is designed to project images from transparencies to the screen. Projection LCD panels are designed to be used with OHP and work better with OHP producing at least 3000 lumens. Only 5 to 10% of the light that passes through the LCD is projected on the screen, ie

SECAM (Sequential Couleur avec Mémoire)

The international standard for transmitting video signals from France, also used in the Russia.  Higher resolution than NTSC. Sequential Couleur avec Mémoire. A television standard closely related to PAL but with a different method of sending color information. SECAM uses the same resolution as PAL (625 lines) but transmits the color information

S-Video

A video transmission standard that uses a 4-pin connector miniDIN to send information in two video signal wires called luminance (brightness, Y) and chrominance (color, C). S-Video is also referred to as Y / C. A composite, is usually out of a RCA jack at the rear of most of the VCR. The advantage of having luminance and chrominance apart is that it is not

Poly-Si (silicon) LCD

A popular LCD technology for the top of the line of LCD projectors. Poly-Si LCD are usually placed in each of the three colored lights inside the projector, one for red, green and blue. Resulting in an increased color saturation, contrast with ranges of up to 2001:1. Poly-Si technology is also a bit faster than any TFT Active Matrix, for a smoother video or

SXVGA

SXVGA is used to define a specific resolution image. The resolution is defined by the number of points an individual who uses the screen to display an image. These points are called pixels. A screen SXVGA has 1280 pixels horizontal and 1024 vertical resolution giving a total of 1310720 pixels on the screen individual.  SXVGA port uses the new VGA mini-
