Technical glossary
Technical glossary
HDMI
HDMI interface with HDCP copy protection. Digital
interface with automatic format recognition, which can
be connected to a DVD player or recorder (for example)
for top-quality playback of digital data. Optimum
method of displaying HDTV formats with resolutions of
1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720, for example, including digital
audio signals.
HD-PIP function
In order to be able to use a HD channel with the picture-
in-picture function, the SD equivalent must be present
in the channel list. Upon opening the PIP function, the
television automatically displays the normal quality
channels (SD) alongside the respective HD channels.
HDTV
The receiver for HDTV is already integrated in the
television set. HD capability makes the TV picture up to
 ve times sharper and the details signi cantly clearer
than with standard television.
I
Individually adjustable picture and sound settings
(See “Channel-speci c correction”)
“Info” button
Special button on the Metz remote control, which brings
up the on-screen menu for help and support when
operating the TV. An extensive keyword index solves
almost every problem and is an onscreen version of the
printed user manual.
Internet radio
Internet radio (also known as web radio) allows a TV
connected to the Internet via a home network to access
a vast range of radio stations and services.
IPS technology
In-plane switching screen technology: for faithful colour
display even when the screen is viewed from an angle
L
LAN interface
Local Area Network connection for connecting network-
capable devices for the purpose of data exchange and
connecting the TV set to the Internet. (see “Metz Media
System”)
LCD (Liquid crystal display)
A panel based on liquid crystals. Two electrodes control
a liquid crystal layer which is sealed between two glass
panels. As soon as a current is applied, the crystals
align themselves. Together with two large polarising
 lters and miniature colour  lters applied to the glass,
the crystals form a type of light valve with which the
brightness of individual pixels and their colours (red,
green, blue) can be controlled.
LED technology
In LED LCD televisions, light-emitting diodes provide
the necessary illumination of the screen. This
advanced technology is more energy-e cient than
the conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL)
systems and also has advantages in displaying contrasts
and colours. (see “Edge LED”, “Local dimming”)
Edge LED
Widely used method of screen illumination: Light-
e m it t i ng di o d e s (L E D s) a r r a nge d a t t h e e d ge o f t he s c r e e n
illuminate it with the aid of a light distribution system.
Typical features of this are even, bright illumination and
high energy e ciency. (see “LED technology”, “Local
dimming”)
Local dimming
Several lighting zones on the screen can be automatically
dimmed (depending on screen content) for signi cantly
improved contrast levels and optimised energy
e ciency (see also “LED technology”, “Edge LED”).
LUX automatic contrast
Recognises changes in ambient light and automatically
adapts the picture brightness by means of the automatic
backlight control.
M
mecaVisionHD
A collective term for a whole range of picture
optimisation features. See also CTI/LTI, dynamic image
clarity optimisation, dynamic noise reduction and IPS
technology.
mecaVisionHD
+
Metz innovation in the  eld of picture optimisation:
mecaVisionHD
+
now makes use of dynamic motion
compensation, even when viewing high-resolution
signals. This technology enables extremely smooth
motion sequences even from the most advanced HDTV
sources.
mecaSound
+
Optimal sound is guaranteed with two high-performance
speakers in devices incorporated with mecaSound
+
technology, digital signal technology developed by
Metz and high-performance audio output (see also
“Speakers”).
mecaSoundpro
In addition to the above-mentioned properties of
the mecaSound
+
audio technology, a total of 4 high-
performance speakers come in to play here – depending
on the model, with or without bass reflex housing (see
also “meca-Sound
+
”, “Bass reflex system”, “Speakers”).
