Connecting to your Computer
You use the VGA video cable to connect your computer to the
DP5100.
Note: If you want to connect your monitor to the computer
while the projector is hooked up, you must order the optional
distribution amplifier. See Appendix B for information.
Desktop Computers
If you are using a desktop computer, regardless whether it’s a PC
or a Macintosh, the process of connecting it to the projector is the
same. Use the VGA video cable (and the Macintosh video cable
adaptor as necessary).
