Canon D78-5152 Projector User Manual


 
4. COMMENTARY
4.1 External appearance design
This product follows the same design concept and coloring as the earlier models, LV-
7325/LV-7320 to establish a unified image for Canon Multimedia Projectors. Some of
the major design points, which are basically the same as the other Canon Multimedia
Projectors, are outlined below.
External Styling
The body is designed with subtle curves and the coloring and semi-transparent body
panels follow the lead of the LV-7300 series. Indications of the excellent lens
performance are printed around the lens to convey an impression of high picture
quality.
Operating Keys
The operation and cursor key layout is a simple, intuitive layout with grouping to
insure ease of use.
Coloring
The body of the projector is colored glacial blue. The front of the unit, with an
appearance fittimg a product from an optical equipment manufacturer, has an
aluminum lens ring and is colored arctic silver. The overall effect is to emphasize the
lens and evoke a sophisticated image.
The operating keys are a special "mercury silver" color that is easy to see in dim light
and also serves as a design accent point.
4.2 Hybrid gamma correction
Hybrid gamma correction is a new feature. It combines digital gamma correction and
analog gamma correction, and takes advantage of the characteristics* of both. Using the
on-screen menu, the user can take advantage of this new feature to control image
gradation.
* Analog gamma correction: analogue correction is applied to the non-linear analog
circuit. In analog correction transitions between gradations
are smooth.
* Digital gamma correction: Correction is applied through digital processing of the X/Y
gamma curve. Using a digital signal, varying the
characteristics curve, for example, is simple. Because
digital processing is involved, however, transitions between
gradations can be abrupt.
