Connecting
Before connecting
f
Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions of the devices to be connected.
f
When connecting to an external device, such as a video input/output device or a computer, use the power cord supplied for each of the
devices.
f
If cables necessary for connection are not supplied with each external devices as accessories or not available as an option, use a
commercially-available shielded cable according to the input and output terminals of the external devices to be connected.
f
Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
f
Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g
Before connecting a cable to the device, displays (projector or flat panel display), or external devices such as a video player, touch any
nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body.
g
Do not use unnecessarily long cables when connecting the device and the displays (projector or flat panel display). Longer the cable is,
easier to be influenced by a noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
g
When connecting a cable, insert it to the connecting terminals of the device perpendicularly, connecting to GND first.
f
Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base
corrector (TBC) must be connected.
f
Some computer models are not compatible with the device.
f
Use a cable compensator when you connect external devices such as a video player to the device using long cables. Otherwise, the device
may not display the image properly.
f
Signals that can be input to the device are digital, analog RGB (synchronization signals at TTL level), YC

signals. To do this, you will need to install the corresponding interface board in the device.
f
Prepare a commercially available conversion adaptor as necessary.

Refer to “Compatible signals” (

page 66) for the types of video input and output signals that can be used with the device.
