Analog RGB
A signal system used to send information about R (red), G (green), and B (blue) with analog
values. It is a typical system for connecting a color monitor to a computer. Connect the
analog RGB output terminal of the computer and the DVI-I/RGB IN-1 terminal or RBG-2/
COMPONENT IN/RGB OUT terminal of this projector with a monitor cable. When the RGB
IN-1 terminal is used, select "ANALOG RGB-1" by pressing the [COMPUTER-1] button.
When the RGB IN-2 terminal is used, select "ANALOG RGB-2" by pressing the
[COMPUTER-2] button.
Digital RGB
A signal system used to send information about individual display dots with digital values.
This system is free from deterioration of image quality because of no analog conversion.
Connect the DVI output terminal of the computer and the DVI-I/RGB IN-1 terminal of this
projector with a connection cable and select "DIGITAL RGB" by pressing the [COMPUTER-
1] button.
Video
An output terminal widely used for AV equipment. It is also called a composite output
terminal (pin terminal or RCA terminal). For more details, refer to "Composite".
S-video
A signal system (YC separation signal) used to send a brightness signal (Y) and color signal
(C) separately. Connect the S-video terminal of AV equipment and the S-VIDEO IN terminal
of this projector with an S-video cable and select "S-VIDEO" by pressing the [VIDEO/S]
button.
Component
A signal system used to send a color signal (C) with it divided into a B-Y color difference
signal and an R-Y color difference signal. This system can project a better-quality image as
compared with the composite signal system. Connect the video terminal of AV equipment
and the RGB-2/COMPONENT IN/RGB OUT terminal with a component cable and select
"COMPONENT" by pressing the [COMPUTER-2] button.
Composite
A video signal system used to send a brightness signal (Y) and a color signal (C) together.
Connect the composite output terminal (RCA) of AV equipment and the VIDEO IN terminal of
this projector with a video cable and select "VIDEO" by pressing the [VIDEO/S] button.
sRGB
An international standard of color representation (color space) which is applied to digital
cameras, displays and others. If you select sRGB, the projector can project the best-quality
image conforming to the sRGB Standard.
