Technical glossary
Metz – always  rst class.
Technical glossary
in addition to the TV connection. It facilitates access to
additional information on the current programme, for
example, but also to services such as media libraries,
high-resolution teletext or broadcasters’ own electronic
programme guides (EPG). (see “Metz Media System”)
HDMI
HDMI interface with HDCP copy protection. Digital inter-
face 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.
HDTV
The receiver for HDTV is already integrated in the televi-
sion 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 oper-
ating the TV. An extensive keyword index solves almost
every problem and is an onscreen version of the printed
user manual.
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 bright-
ness 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 conven-
tional 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-emit-
ting diodes (LEDs) arranged at the edge of the screen
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 automati-
cally 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
mecaHome+
So ware specially developed for Metz to enable con-
trol of Eaton Xcomfort components. Information about
various household appliances can be displayed on the
TV screen using the radio control unit. Devices such as
motion sensors, temperature gauges, light switches,
doorbells, smoke alarms and lighting can be monitored
and controlled via your Metz television.
mecavisionHD
A collective term for a whole range of picture optimisa-
tion features. See also CTI/LTI, dynamic image clarity op-
timisation, 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 sig-
nals. This technology enables extremely smooth motion
sequences even from the most advanced HDT V sources.
mecaSound+
mecaSound+, the digital signal technology developed
by Metz, optimises audio signals in conjunction with
high performance speaker systems to deliver a clear,
highly nuanced, full sound.
