  • Page 105 A circular area of a screen where the image appears brighter than elsewhere on the screen. A hot spot appears along the line of sight and "moves" with the line of sight. High gain screens and rear screens designed for slide or movie projection usually have a hot spot. Christie DS+60 User’s Manual A-3...
  • Page 106 Commonly called an iris, the optical aperture when adjusted affects true contrast. Optical Screen A type of rear-projection screen which re-directs light through the screen to increase image brightness in front of the screen. Screen gain is usually greater than 1 but audience viewing angles are reduced. Christie DS+60 User’s Manual...
  • Page 107 A common asynchronous data transmission standard recommended by the Electronics Industries Association (EIA). Also called serial communication. RS-422 A less common asynchronous data transmission standard in which balanced differential voltage is specified. RS-422 is especially suited to long distances. Christie DS+60 User’s Manual A-5...
  • Page 108 (usually 75Ω 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 109 A high-end analog component video signal. Sometimes called YUV, Component, or Y, R-Y, B-Y, the YPbPr signal by-passes the video decoder in this projector. See YPbPr. Zoom The adjustment of image size by means of a zoom lens. Christie DS+60 User’s Manual A-7...
