Lens shifting is predominantly found in projectors. It allows adjustment of the displayed picture, without physically repositioning the projector; instead, the lens inside the housing shifts and moves in order to allow the desired adjustment.
3LCD is at teknologi present in projectors. The Light source projects a white light, which is split and divided among 3 chips, each generating an image in a basic color (blue, green and red). The 3 images are then combined in a focusing prism, creating the full-color image, and projected onto the screen.
Projector technology – D-ILA
D-ILA (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier) is a technology compriosed of three individually colored chips (blue, green, and red). The light source is polarized, split, and reflected off of each chip, then focused and magnified through a lens to construct the image projected onto the screen.
Projector technology – DLP
DLP - Digital Light Processing - utilizes a digital chip with several micromirrors to reflect the light from the lamp onto the screen. The light passes through a colorwheel spinning at several thousand rounds per minute in order to colorize the light reflected, resulting in the final processed image.
Projector technology – SXRD
Silicon X-tal Reflective Display - SXRD is a proprietary of Sony, similar in design to D-ILA technology. The light is seperated and reflected through 3 liquid crystal panels, each in their own color (blue, green and red). The colors are then combined and focused through a lens, creating the final image.
THX Certified
THX is neither a technology, nor a recording format, but rather a quality assurance standard. A THX-certified movie theater can be expected to deliver an audio/video experience close to what the mixing engineers intended.

High Resolution Audio is a broad term for sound reproduced above 16-bit linear depth, which is the norm for standard audio CDs.
Music streaming – MQA
MQA is a high resolution streaming technology that gives you original master recording quality from a music streaming service. It’s the core of TIDAL’s vast TIDAL Masters catalogue. And while far from exhaustive, it does include some pretty incredible works of art.
These are albums you can stream at resolutions up to 24-bit, 192kHz, giving you a mind-boggling resolution that helps create a deeper, more immersive listening experience.
However, none of this is without certain caveats. While TIDAL Masters will offer up 24-bit, 192kHz, just because it’s a Masters track doesn’t mean it will hit those incredible heights. In fact, most don’t. The majority of masters titles are going to sit somewhere between 48 and 96kHz, which is admittedly far from the shiny 24/192 that’s continually advertised.
While, yes, not every Masters track is a hefty 24-bit/192kHz in resolution, what you do get is well beyond CD quality.
Spotify is one of the biggest music streaming services in the world. Available as a free subscription which features advertisements, and as a paid subscription with improved streaming quality and absence of advertisements.

Roon ready means that the manufacturer has implemented roon labs RAAT network interface protocol directly into the device (network amplifier or streaming player) and has become a certified partner of roon. Thereby, the streaming player / amplifier works with the highest streaming quality from roon via RAAT, which was available at the time of development, and possibly. later via updates.
Roon tested means that devices have a built-in USB-DAC, ChromeCast or Apple Airplay, all of which are compatible streaming options and thus end-points for the roon universe. To get "roon tested", it also requires that the device has been reviewed by the roon labs QA team and thereby registered correctly in the roon software, for optimal streaming utilization.
Devices that have only been "roon tested" cannot take advantage of the full Roon functionality and sound quality achieved with roon's RAAT protocol. To stream with RAAT, it requires that the device is "roon ready" certified. The streaming quality of the sound for "roon tested" devices therefore depends entirely on the type of streaming used and its limitations.
Telmore Musik is a streaming service exclusive to danish tele operator Telmore. The services is compatible with AirPlay, Bluetooth as well as Chromecast, and is fully implemented with Sonos devices.
Tidal is a service for music streaming. It differentiates itself from other services by providing Hi-Fi grade lossless audio quality, comparable to CD or better. It is strictly available as a paid service, with subscription costs tied to quality of the audio tracks.
DAB+ is an evolution of the original DAB signal, and features better error correction in poor reception areas. As radiostations have moved to DAB+ older DAB-radios are becoming unusable. Digital radios and tuners available today all feature DAB+.
RDS (Radio Data System) allows information to be transferred via radiosignals such as AM/FM. The most common use is display of the name of a radiostation in a digital display of a unit.
Internet radio has some similarities with DAB: Digital radio with high stability, and no noise issues. Where DAB is transmitted through antennae, internet radio needs an internet connection either through ethernet or WLAN. Internet radio makes it possible to access radio channels from around the world. The feature is most commonly found in tabletop radios, as well as stereo and surround receivers.
Internet radio recieption are often through apps as Vtuner, Last.fm or direct in the streaming software by e.g. Sonos, Yamaha MusicCast eller Bose SoundTouch.

CONNECTIONS - CABLE OR WIRELESS
Charging: Power Delivery
USB Power Delivery 2.0 introduced some changes to the way that power ratings between devices are handled, making the standard more flexible than before. The old set of Power Profiles were removed in PD 2.0 and replaced by Power Rules that allow for a wider range of current negotiations. The USB 3.1 specification adopted Power Profiles instead, but is only rated up to 15W rather than 100W.
PD 3.0 made some tweaks to enhance power delivery, but the Power Rules are the same as PD 2.0 products. Rules are split into four target power categories; 7.5W, >15W, >27W, and >45W; each of which offers a range of voltage and current configurations. Sources supplying more than 15 watts offer voltages of 5 and 9 volts, those supplying more than 27 watts offer 5, 9 and 15 volts, and those supplying more than 45 watts offer 5, 9, 15 and 20 volts. The maximum 100W power supply is achieved with 20V and up to 5A, although all of the other modes cap out at 3A, depending on the required power.
USB Power Delivery offers the following features:
• Increased power levels from existing USB standards up to 100W. • The power direction is no longer fixed. This enables the product with the power (Host or Peripheral) to provide the power. • Optimize power management across multiple peripherals by allowing each device to take only the power it requires, and to get more power when required for a given application. • Intelligent and flexible system-level management of power via optional hub communication with the PC. • It allows low power cases such as headsets to negotiate for only the power they require.
Dante is an audio networking technology developed by Audionate. Dante devices on the same network automatically detect each other. This can make setting up a system simpler and thus reduce complexity and potential errors. In this sense, Dante can be thought of as a plug-and-play network technology.
Displayport 1.1 – High Speed (HBR1 up to 10,8 Gbit/s)
The initial versions of DisplayPort, 1.0 through 1.1a, were approved between May 2006 and January 2008. They provided a maximum bandwidth of 10.8 Gbit/s over a 4-lane main link, with cables up to 2 meters in length required for full bandwidth support.
DP version 1.1 allowed for alternative link layers, like fiber optic, enabling longer reach without signal degradation. Additionally, HDCP and DisplayPort Content Protection were included.
Displayport 1.2 – High Speed (HBR2 up to 21,6 Gbit/s)
DisplayPort (DP) version 1.2, launched in 2010, brought several enhancements to the standard for monitor connections. The update increased the maximum data rate, allowed higher resolutions and refresh rates, and supported multiple screens through MST. It also included support for 3D and improved synchronization between audio and video. DisplayPort Version 1.2a, released in 2013, included Adaptive Sync, from which AMD's advanced FreeSync derived. Adaptive Sync was later integrated as an optional feature in the DisplayPort standard.
Displayport 1.4 – High Speed (HBR3 up to 32,4 Gbit/s)
DisplayPort Version 1.3, approved in September 2014, enhances transmission bandwidth to 32.4 Gbit/s with the new HBR3 mode, enabling higher-resolution displays and faster refresh rates. This accommodates 4K UHD at 120 Hz, 5K at 60 Hz, or 8K at 30 Hz.
The standard supports driving multiple displays and includes Dual-mode for DVI and HDMI adapters. Thunderbolt 3 was intended to include DisplayPort 1.3 but ended up with version 1.2. Adaptive Sync remains optional. DisplayPort Version 1.4, released in March 2016, maintains HBR3 as the highest mode and introduces support for features like Display Stream Compression, HDR10 metadata, and expanded audio channels.
Displayport 2.0 – High Speed (UHBR up to 80 Gbit/s)
VESA released the DisplayPort 2.0 standard June 2019. This version marks the first major update since March 2016 and increases the data rate by approximately 3 times (from 25.92 to 77.37 Gbit/s) compared to the previous version (1.4a).
DisplayPort 2.0 introduces new capabilities to address future performance requirements for traditional displays, including support for resolutions beyond 8K, higher refresh rates, and HDR support at higher resolutions.
Configuration options include single display resolutions up to 16K at 60 Hz with 10 bpc RGB/Y'CBCR 4:4:4 color, or dual display resolutions with two 8K displays at 120 Hz. With DisplayPort 2.0's increased bandwidth, VESA offers a high degree of flexibility and configuration options for higher resolutions and refresh rates.
Displayport 2.1 – High Speed (UHBR up to 80 Gbit/s, USB4)
VESA announced DisplayPort version 2.1 in October 2022. This update introduces DP40 and DP80 cable certifications to ensure proper operation at speeds of 40 Gbit/s and 80 Gbit/s, respectively, as introduced in version 2.0. It also revises electrical requirements to better integrate with USB4.
DisplayPort 2.1 aligns more closely with USB Type-C and USB4 PHY specifications, enabling a common PHY for both DisplayPort and USB4. Additionally, it adds a new bandwidth management feature to facilitate more efficient coexistence with other I/O data traffic over USB4.
The cable material is made of flame-retardant material and is therefore suitable for network installations in public and commercial buildings, schools, institutions, etc., as there are high requirements for cable installations to be flame-retardant or their reaction to fire according to the latest fire regulation, as described in the Construction Products Regulation EN 50575 "Power, signal, and communication cables. Cables for general application in construction works subject to reaction to fire requirements".
The cables must also meet the requirements for a new European fire classification, determined by tests of energy content, acid formation, heat release, smoke production, droplet formation, and fire spread. The existing fire classes will be replaced with seven new categories from A to F, as detailed in the standard.
Typically, an exemption can only be given for 10% of the cables that are not flame-retardant in commercial buildings. However, to facilitate the work, it is therefore easiest to "simply" choose cables with the right approvals, within both power, network, speaker, and data cables for all fixed installations, when building new or modernizing.
HDMI 1.4 supports a resolution up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz and 1920x1080 at 120 Hz. At the same time, there is support for ARC, 3D, CEC management and more.

If you’re new to the concept of quick charging, the result is in the name: your smartphone charges up faster than it would without Quick Charge technology.
Qualcomm boasts a fourfold increase in charging times over conventional chargers with Quick Charge 3.0, up from the 40 percent speed increase offered by its first-generation technology. However, one of the interesting things to note is that Qualcomm isn’t touting massive increases in charging times over version 2.0, instead, the company is focusing on improved efficiency this time around.
Voltage • 3.6 V to 22 V, dynamic with 200 mV increments Max current • 2.6 A or 4.6 A Max power • 36 W (12 V x 3 A)
The major new feature with 3.0 is INOV (Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage), which allows for a fined tuned power output and a more optimized charging cycle. Firstly, different batteries require different charging voltages. Version 2.0 supported four modes at varying power levels, 5 volts/2amps, 9V/2A, 12V/1.67A, and a 20 volt option. Quick Charge 3.0’s INOV communicates with the device to request any voltage between 3.2V and 20V at 200mV increments, allowing for a wider selection of voltages.
Importantly, Qualcomm has retained backward compatibility with its 2.0 and 1.0 standards. As the power draw is handled on the smartphone side, you will safely receive the maximum amount of power for your device using any of the certified chargers. However, you won’t achieve full charging speeds if you try charging newer phones with older lower power chargers.
Although Qualcomm supports Quick Charge in all of its new SoCs, it is still up to smartphone and tablet manufacturers to implement the specific circuitry required to make full use of the fastest charging speeds available.
