Appendix: Glossary ANSI Lumens—A standard for measuring the brightness. It is calculated by dividing a square meter image into nine equal rectangles, measuring the lux (or brightness) reading at the center of each rectangle, and averaging these nine points. 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.
dB—decibel—A unit used to express relative difference in power or intensity, usually between two acoustic or electric signals, equal to ten times the common logarithm of the ratio of the two levels. Diagonal Screen—A method of measuring the size of a screen or a projected image. It measures from one corner to the opposite corner. A 9ft high, 12ft wide, screen has a diagonal of 15ft.
UXGA—Ultra Extended Graphics Array — 1600 x 1200 pixels count. VGA—Video Graphics Array — 640 x 480 pixels count. XGA—Extra Video Graphics Array — 1024 x 768 pixels count.
