Chapter 6 Connect to a Presentation System
Procedures
Beyond the general guidelines that Figure 1 illustrates, two additional factors might constrain which
types of signal cable you can use.
•
The technology, brand, and model of your display — Check its product documentation to
understand its compatibility with various signal cable types.
•
The DMP model — Table 2-2 states which I/O ports are available on various DMP models.
(Alternatively, if the table does not describe your DMP model, see its datasheet at
http://www.cisco.com/go/dms/dmp/datasheets .) Your packing list states which signal cables Cisco
planned to ship with your DMP.

Understand How to Work Around the Low Signal Quality of Composite Video
Note
When video signals are transmitted through a composite cable, image quality suffers. When you use a
composite cable and your DMP shows any web-based media, small text might be difficult to read in
TVzilla. To work around this limitation, you can lower the browser resolution setting in DMPDM.
