The term IMAG is a short form for "image magnification" used in the audiovisual production industry. It refers to large-scale theatrical or concert video projection to enable audience members seated at great distance from the stage to see details of the performer's body language and facial expressions that could not be seen with the unaided eye.{{cite web|url=http://staged-right.com/services/projection.html#IMAG|title=Staged Right Productions - Projection and IMAG|accessdate=6 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120523043023/http://staged-right.com/services/projection.html#IMAG|archive-date=23 May 2012|url-status=dead}}, Staged-Right.Com Projection 101: What is IMAG?{{cite web|url=http://svconline.com/mag/avinstall_imag_churches/ |title=Sound and Video Contractors - IMAG in churches |accessdate=7 March 2012 |date=1 Jan 2006 |last=Coppedge |first=Anthony D. |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229194750/http://www.svconline.com/mag/avinstall_imag_churches/ |archivedate=February 29, 2012 }}{{cite web|title=IMAG - Definition by Acronym Finder (IMAG - image magnification, highest ranking result)|url=http://www.acronymfinder.com/IMAG.html|accessdate=7 Mar 2012}}{{cite web|title=don't forget the "MAG" in IMAG|url=http://cryptofreek.org/2011/06/06/dont-forget-the-mag-in-imag/|publisher=cryptofreek.org|accessdate=7 March 2012|date=2011-06-06}}
