Appendix: Glossary ANSI Lumens— A standard for measuring light output, used for comparing projectors. Aspect Ratio—The most popular aspect ratio is 4:3 (4 by 3). Early television and computer video formats are in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means that the width of the image is 4/3 times the height. Backlit (Backlight)—Refers to a remote control, or a projector control panel, that has buttons and controls that are illuminated.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Contrast Ratio— Range of light and dark values in a picture, or the ratio between their maximum and minimum values. There are two methods used by the projection industry to measure the ratio: 1 Full On/Off — measures the ratio of the light output of an all white image (full on) and the light output of an all black (full off) image. 2 ANSI — measures a pattern of 16 alternating black and white rectangles.
Maximum Distance— The distance from a screen the projector can be to cast an image that is useable (bright enough) in a fully darkened room. Maximum Image Size— The largest image a projector can throw in a darkened room. This is usually limited by focal range of the optics. Metal Halide Lamp— The type of lamp used in many medium and all high end portable projectors. These lamps typically have a "half-life" of 1000-2000 hours.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Zoom Lens— Lens with a variable focal length that allows operator to move the view in or out making the image smaller or larger. Zoom Lens Ratio— Is the ratio between the smallest and largest image a lens can projector from a fixed distance. For example, a 1.4:1 zoom lens ratio means that a 10 foot image without zoom would be a 14 foot image with full zoom.
