Projector
Hi, I am trying to find what the "C" stands for. This is a projector manual. The whole sentence is: The projector does not support RGBC signals via the Euro-scart. I know that RGB usually means RVB (Rouge Vert Bleu), but I don't know what the "C" stands for". Unfortunately, it is the only occurrence in the whole manual, so I don't have any more clues... Can you help? Thanks

English term (edited):
RGBC
Selected
RVBC
RGB = RVB
C = composite
The SCART / Péritel connector is capable of carrying both RGB and composite (PAL / SECAM / NTSC) signals at the same time.
Most domestic equipment traditionally uses a composite (= encoded) colour system (can be carried over a single wire), but a lot of modern equipment now uses RGB signals, enabling higher quality.
So this is just saying that your particular connector has both options.
HOWEVER,
that doesn't really make a lot of sense, as I re-read your context!
In fact, we often refer to RGBS, where 'S' stands for 'sync(hronization pulses)'
I feel sure this is more lkely to be what they are referring to here: either they are saying that it doesn't support RGBS signals (but only composite ones), or else they are saying that it doesn't support RGB+ separate S signals, but only RGB ones (which have the sync on green) — the latter is the more common format, so this would make a lot more sense.
Why 'C' instead of 'S'? Well, S and C are very close keys on a keyboard... or they might be regarding it as Composite Sync, certainly a term that is used, though I've not personally encountered it abbreviated like this in connection with SCART connectors.
Then again, this looks rather interesting:

: If, as you seem to suggest, RGBC is the designation of a particular 'connector+signal format' combo, then it would not be translated; in the same way as Firewire is Firewire in both en and fr. However, I am now convinced it refers to 'components'.

Thanks, R! Yes, stream-of-consciousness stuff; as you say, if it is my last suggestion, then it shouldn't be translated at all.

couleur RVB / couleur RGB
"RGB colour
"The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.
The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography. Before the electronic age, the RGB color model already had a solid theory behind it, based in human perception of colors."

: It's nothing to do with 'cyan' - there is no video equipment on the market that delivers a red, green, blue, cyan video signal that could be used as input to a video projector. (The webref about cyan is not in the video field.)

RGB components
I'd need to see the specification of the projector to be sure, but failing that insight I reckon it may refer to 'RGB component' signals (as distinct from a a composite signal).

This doesn't actually confirm what the 'C' refers to, and there is no other reference to RGBC is the entire document, but it does suggest that 'RGBC' does not need to be translated.
That said, I venture to upgrade my confidence to '4': it refers to component / composantes.
In the same documents, see page 66:
French - "Prises d’entrée: RVB/Composante (mini D-sub à 15 broches)"
English - "Input terminals: RGB/Component (mini D-sub 15 pin)"
and note that there is no other input (at least, on this projector) whose designation could possibly be abbreviated to 'RGBC'.

Tony M
: But 'component' most often refers to YUV (and differentiates that from RGB); I've not personally encountered the association of the 'C' with RGB like this, but perhaps I'm behind the times. See the last ref. in my answer... What d'you reckon?

'Component' can refer to lots of signal formats, including RGB ; and RGB components are in any case the basis for calculating YUV or, indeed, most of the 'other' component formats.
