Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.6.

The upper right corner (

INPUT 1) typically accepts an RGB signal from an external

analog RGB source, or it can also be used for YPbPr signals or additional video

sources. Just beside these BNCs, the DVI-I connector (

INPUT 2) accepts digital or

analog display signals from a computer. Connect analog composite video at

INPUT 3

or S-video at

INPUT 4 from devices such as VCRs, laser disc players or DVD players.

There are also several optional interfaces available for connecting other sources—

these interfaces slide into the remaining unused option slot, and can be done while the

projector is running.

NOTES: 1) See Section 6 – Specifications for details regarding compatible inputs.

2) Use high quality shielded cables only for all connections.

INPUT 1 consists of five BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The

typical connection would be to an RGB source such as a PC, Mac, DEC, Sun, SGI and

others. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on-green,

composite sync, and separate H & V syncs.

NOTE: Depending on your source, you may need a custom adapter cable with BNC

connectors at the projector end and a different type of connector at the other (such as

a 15-pin "D" connector for some computer sources). Contact your dealer for details.

Connect the

SYNC BNC input(s) first. Then connect the red, green and blue source

outputs to the

RED, GREEN, and BLUE BNCs on the INPUT 1 panel. If the source uses

sync-on-green, only the red, green, and blue connections are required. If the source

provides a composite sync output, connect it to the

SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP. If

the source provides separate horizontal and vertical sync outputs, connect horizontal

sync to the

SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP and connect vertical sync to SYNC input

labeled

VERT. See Figure 2.7.
