Page 10: Explanation Of Terms
Explanation of terms The following terms appear throughout these Operating Instructions, and are defined here for easy reference. Abbreviation for Local Area Network. A network which is small in scale, such as an intra-company network. Both wired LANs and wireless LANs can be found. - Page 11 Ad Hoc Mode A mode for direct communication between the projector and a computer with an optional wireless card. Infrastructure Mode A mode for communication via an access point which is connected to a wired LAN. A computer without an optional wireless card can still be used to send images to the projector via an access point.
- Page 12 JPEG Abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is the name of an international organisation which was jointly established by the ISO and the ITU-TS (formerly the CCIT), but the term is normally used to refer to the specifications for the still picture compression algorithm which was formulated by the JPEG.
- Page 13 Abbreviation for Lempel-Ziv-Welch. LZW is a compression method used for TIFF files, and is named thus because it was developed by three people named Lempel, Ziv and Welch. It compresses the files by converting patterns within the images into short codes. There is no deterioration in image quality resulting from compression, but high rates of compression which are comparable to JPEG files cannot be expected to be obtained.
