The Epson BrightLink 450/455 models are nearly identical in design and function. The following 

guide provides instruction for the basic operations as well as troubleshooting measures of these devices.  

Connecting to a computer/document camera  

 

Projectors are connected to classroom computer via VGA and USB cables.  

a.

 

Projectors have two points of connection: Face plate at computer, Faceplate at 
projector.    

 

VGA cables transfer video only. Wall plate at computer (VGA w/ audio) will likely have an audio 
connection and will need an audio cable to transfer sound to the projector.  

 

USB cable allows interactive function of pens. USB cable must be connected at wall face plate at 
computer and projector. (Interactive Tools Driver should/must be downloaded to the user 
computer via Software Center.
