Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a High-End Workstation
Your PowerLite projector is capable of remapping input resolutions
up to 1600
×
1200 pixels. Since 1280
×
1024 pixels is the default
resolution for most leading workstations, your projector is ideal for
displaying workstation video output.
There is no standard for workstation video output. Workstations that
follow the SXGA standard and use the HD15 (standard VGA)
connector won’t need an adapter cable or any special connection
device. However, your system may vary; contact your computer dealer
if you need help connecting your workstation.
Connecting to a DVI Video Source
The projector’s Digital Visual Interface (DVI) receives pictures
directly from your computer in digital format. This lets the projector
display images of greater clarity than can be achieved using a standard
analog VGA connection.
To project images in digital video format, follow these steps:
1. Connect the computer’s DVI cable to the projector’s DVI port.
2. Using the tip of a pen or a small screwdriver, slide the DVI/VGA
interface switch to the left. (If you need to use the projector’s
VGA port again, be sure to slide the switch back to the right.)
If you want to connect audio for this computer, you can use the
Audio
port on the back of the projector.
note
You won’t be able to view
images on a separate monitor
when the DVI port is in use.
