Video input The projector accepts the input signal of all major video formats, including NTSC 3.58, 4.43, PAL B, G, D, H, I, N, M and SECAM signals. The projector will recognize these standards and adapt to them automatically. With the ‘Picture Format’feature you can select one of six picture format options: wide screen, super zoom 4:3, 4:3, movie expand 14:9, movie expand 16:9, 16:9 subtitles. Computer input The computer input is suitable for both Apple Macintosh computers (Power Book and Power Mac) as well as for IBM compatible PCs. The projector is Microsoft (R), Windows (R) 95/98/ME/2000/XP compatible and accepts input signals from all computers that meet following specifications: •Multi scan VGA-SXGA •Horizontal scan rate: 15-108 kHz •Ver tical refresh rate: 50-120 Hz •Bandwith: 140 MHz •Display Data Channel DDC: 1/2B The data output of IBM compatible PCs can be connected directly to the projector using standard data cables. When connecting the projector to a Macintosh computer equipped with a 2 row, 15 pin connector a VGA/MAC adaptor (available at your PC store) is required. If your computer is equipped with a 3 row connector no adaptor is needed. Universal Serial Bus (USB) The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector allows you to connect to computer s equipped with a USB interface, resulting in real hot plug and play presentation. Mouse control: By connecting USB, the mouse function on the Remote Control automatically gets installed. You can now manipulate the mouse cur sor on the computer and on the screen, using Cursor Control on the remote control. The Mouse Left/Right keys on the remote control function as Left and Right mouse keys of your pc. Drag and drop facility Drag and drop via the remote control works slightly different than via the pc mouse. Here’how: •Use Cursor Control to select the item to be moved. •Press and keep pressed Mouse Left. •Use Cursor Control to move the selected item.

Mouse control and ‘drag and drop’is also possible when PS/2 connection has been made. Based on the specific hardware and software configuration available, Apple Macintosh computer users could experience incomplete or erratic USB -functionality. These problems are not related to the performance of your projector. External monitor connection A separate external monitor (or a second projector) can be connected to the projector. The image projected is simultaneously shown on the monitor, even when the projector is in Power/Standby or Off mode. Always switch off projector and external equipment before making any connections.
