26 Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a
standard VGA, BNC, or DVI-D (or DFP) dual-link monitor port,
including desktop models and PC notebook computers, Macintosh
PowerBooks and iBooks, and hand-held devices. (Some proprietary
video ports may require a special adapter.) You can connect up to four
computers at the same time:
■ To connect to the Computer 1 or Computer 2 port (standard
VGA cable connection), see page 27.
■ To connect using the BNC port, see page 28.
■ To connect using the DVI (Digital Video Interface) port, see
page 29.
After connecting any video cables, you may also want to:
■ connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a
mouse; see page 31
■ connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your
presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re
using a notebook); see page 32
■ connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 33
note
The projector accepts a wide
range of resolutions and
video formats. For best
results, set your computer to
output video at the
projector’s native display
resolution (1400
×
1050).
