24 Connecting to Computers, USB Devices, and Other Equipment
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard
video output (monitor) port. This connection is recommended for use
with the interactive pens. See the next section for instructions.
You can also connect the projector to a computer using the projector’s
TypeB (square) USB port, including desktop models,
PC notebook computers, MacBook
®
computers, and other devices.
To play sound through the projector, connect an audio cable (see
page 33).
You may be able to use your remote control as a wireless mouse when
projecting from a computer (see page 58).
Connecting to the VGA Computer Port
You can connect to the projector using the VGA computer cable that
came with it (the monitor port on your computer must be a D-sub
15-pin port).This is the best type of connection for use with the
interactive pens.
1. Connect one end of the VGA computer cable to the projector’s
Computer1 or Computer2 port and the other end to your
computer’s monitor port.
2. You may need to change the
Input Signal setting in the
projector’s Signal menu to
RGB or Auto (see page 68).
note
If you have an iBook with
an RCA video-out port,
follow the instructions for
connecting to a video device
on page 29.
note
To connect a Macintosh
that includes only a Mini
DisplayPort or Mini-DVI
port for video output, you
need to obtain an adapter
that allows you to connect to
the projector’s VGA video
port. Contact Apple for
compatible adapter options.
caution
Don’t try to force a
connector to fit a port with a
different shape or number of
pins. You may damage the
port or connector, or the
device you are trying to
connect.
