    Appendix A Glossary This appendix defines the specific terms used in this manual as they apply to this projector. Also included are other general terms commonly used in the projection industry. Active Line Time The time, inside one horizontal scan line, during which video is generated. Ambient Light Rejection The ability of a screen to reflect ambient light in a direction away from the “line of best viewing”.
  • Page 114 Appendix A: Glossary Channel Number A number that uniquely identifies a specific channel retained in projector memory. The projector can retain up to 99 channels. Checkbox A menu item that indicates whether an option is currently in effect (checked) or not (unchecked).
  • Page 115 Appendix A: Glossary Dot Clock The maximum frequency of the pixel clock. Also known as pixel clock rate. E-EDID The Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data standard, established by VESA, enables properties (such as resolution) of a display device to be detected by the display card in a controlling device such as a PC.
  • Page 116 Viewing is along the line of reflection.  LiteLOC A Christie software feature where samples of output light from a projector trigger automatic adjustments in the lamp ballast power in order to maintain a constant light output over time. Also known as brightness tracking.
  • Page 117 Appendix A: Glossary NTSC Video A video output format of some video tape and disk players. There are two types of NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) video: NTSC 3.58 and NTSC 4.43. NTSC 3.58 is used primarily in North America and Japan. NTSC 4.43 is less commonly used.
  • Page 118 Appendix A: Glossary Rise Time The time required by the video amplifier of the projector to increase its output from 10% to 90% of the maximum value. RGB Video The video output (analog or digital) of most computers. Analog RGB video can have 3, 4, or 5 wires —...
  • Page 119 (usually 75Σ for video). Throw Distance The distance between the front feet of the projector and the screen. Also called “Projector-to-Screen Distance”. Always use the correct Christie throw distance formula to calculate the proper throw distance (±5%) required for your lens. Throw Ratio Throw ratio = throw distance / screen width.

  • Page 125: Throw Distance

    Appendix D Throw Distance Calculating Throw Distance It is important throw distance be precisely calculated for your installation using the appropriate formula from the chart below. To calculate throw distance you must know the screen size and the lens type installed in the projector. In general, the larger you want the image to be the greater the distance you must allow between the lens and the screen.
