Computer input
The computer input is suitable for both Apple Macintosh computers (Power Book and Power Mac) as
well as for IBM compatible PCs.The projector is Microsoft (R), Windows (R) 95/98/ME/2000/XP
compatible and accepts input signals from all computers that meet following specifications:

interface, resulting in real hot plug and play presentation.

Theft deterrence
The SecurityMax™ application, supplied on the CD-ROM, allows you take a number of precautions
against unauthorized use of your projector. Once the application is installed, you can, for example, set
your own code protected personal start-up screen and shutdown timer which make theft unattractive
to any potential thief.You only need to run the Security Max™ software on the pc that is connected to
your projector via the Universal Serial Bus. For this see the ‘Security Max’ user guide on the
CD-ROM.
– Mouse control and ‘drag and drop’ is also possible when PS/2 connection has been made.
– Based on the specific hardware and software configuration available, Apple Macintosh computer users
could experience incomplete or erratic USB -functionality.These problems are not related to the
performance of your projector.
External monitor connection
A separate external monitor (or a second projector) can be connected to the projector.The image
projected is simultaneously shown on the monitor, even when the projector is in Power/Standby or Off
mode.

D, H, I, N, M and SECAM signals.The projector will recognize these standards and adapt to them
automatically. With the ‘Picture format’ feature you can select one of five picture format options 4:3,
