Connecting the Projector
You can connect the projector to four computer sources or
five video sources—up to a total of six sources altogether. You
can include an independent sound channel for each of the six
sources.
Type of connections
The following types of connections are possible, depending on
the kinds of signals your equipment generates and its available
output ports:
Note that the projector’s Computer 1, Computer 2, and BNC
ports accept a variety of input signals. If you’re connecting to
one of these ports, you’ll need to make sure that the correct
input signal setting is selected, or your image won’t display
properly.
To change the input signal setting, do the following:
1. After turning on the projector, press the
Menu button. The
menu screen appears.
2. Select the
Setting menu.
3. Change the Computer 1 Input, Computer 2 Input, or BNC
Input
setting, as needed, to match the signal generated by
your computer or video equipment.
Viewing Images on an External
Monitor
You can use an external monitor to display images from any
connected computer or video source. This lets you view your
presentation close-up, as well as on the projection screen.
Note: Some LCD monitors may not be able to display the image
correctly. If you have trouble displaying the image, connect a
multiscan monitor. If you’re projecting computer images, make
sure the computer’s refresh rate is set to 65 Hz or greater.
To use an external monitor, connect it to the projector’s
Monitor Out port, as shown:
Follow these guidelines when using an external monitor:
❏ The monitor displays the currently selected video source.
Press the
Preview button if you want to display all the
active sources at once (see page 7).
❏ If you want, you can view (or preview) images on the
monitor while the projection screen is darkened after
pressing the
A/V Mute button.
❏ You can also view images on the monitor while the
projector is in standby mode (plugged in but not turned
on), if the
Standby Mode setting has been set to Network
ON
in the Advanced1 menu.
