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.
