RGB Input Features

Your greatest flexibility and control of the appearance of the images displayed on the
projector comes from using your computer—desktop or notebook—connected via
the RGB cable provided. You will be using the projector as a second monitor for your
computer. Most computer operating systems, Mac or Windows, will recognize the
projector immediately.

Please note: If you’re using Windows XP you may need to change your monitor
selection. It’s usually a function key marked with an icon with two little monitor screens,
but which function key varies by computer, so refer to your computer manual.

Press the power button on either the remote or the top of the projector.

A message will display “no signal”. Attach your computer to the
projector via the RGB cable.

The projector will now act as a monitor, or second monitor, for your computer. Open your
program or the files you want to use and you will see them projected. Aim the projector
and FOCUS. Use the KEYSTONE adjustment on the remote to make the image
square on your surface.

RGB Input Features

Muralists…

The embedded grids are the perfect tool for
composing and laying out images onto any
vertical surface. Images can be projected
to accommodate most size requirements
without the need to project the image in
