Connecting Video source devices
This section describes how to connect the projector to Video source devices using video
cables. Video cable connections are recommended for Video presentations.
This projector also supports data (graphic) "PC" connection using wireless local area network
(WLAN) connection. WLAN connection is not recommended for Video presentations.
See
"Using the wireless functions" on page 28
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the
following output sockets:
•
Component Video
•
S-Video
•
Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above
connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method
you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the
projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with
composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so
if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference
to (composite) Video.
See
"Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 18
for how to connect the
projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video.
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source
device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See
"Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 19
for how to connect the projector to
an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than
optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods
described here.
See
"Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 20
for how to connect the
projector to a composite Video device.
