USB connection
A USB interface with hub function is available via one upstream
and one downstream connector. The USB interface is a powered
hub to allow connection of USB devices without own power. It is
possible to (dis)connect devices during operation (hot plug and
play). When connecting USB peripherals for the first time, it is
possible that the computer requires the installation CD of the
computer’s operating system.
When the projector’s
USB out (upstream) connector
is
connected to a PC or an Apple Macintosh computer equipped
with a USB downlink connection, it will identify as a USB device.
It is possible to:
–
control the cursor of the computer via the projector remote
control,
–
play audio information from the computer via the projector
speaker,
and
–
the display settings of the computer will be changed to fit
the capability of the projector.

USB peripherals like speakers, a mouse, a document video
camera, a keyboard, a wireless connection box or a printer are
easily connected and operated. Power for the peripheral is
supplied by the projector.
