Connecting a computer

Required computer connections

If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port.

Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector and to your electrical outlet.

NOTE : Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To control your computer’s mouse using the projector’s remote control, connect the USB and DVI cables to the USB and DVI ports on your computer, and connect the other end to the Computer 1 (M1-D) connector on the projector. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For more infor-

You can also connect to your computer using a BNC cable. Connect the BNC connectors on the BNC cable to the appropriate Computer 3 connectors on the projector.

When all 5 BNCs are connected, the projector handles separate synchs on H and V.

You can control the projector from an LCD control panel, touch screen, or other control device or computer by connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial connector. Specific RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of our website and in this User’s Guide’s

Appendix.

The projector can be managed by ProjectorNet networking software through its Network (RJ-45) connector. Contact an authorized dealer or visit our website for information on ProjectorNet.
