INTRODUCTION

The In Focus LP740B™ is a multimedia projector that packs SXGA graphics (1280x1024) with 16.7 million colors. It generates crisp, clear images using a new and innovative reflective technology. The projector has three computer inputs and two video inputs and is ideal for high-performance business, engineering and imaging applications that demand exceptional resolution and color quality.

Image Resolution

The SXGA resolution of the 740B’s projected image is 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen resolution is 1600x1200, the projector generates a partial image within 1280x1024. You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the image using the Image Conrol menu (see page 18). If your computer’s screen resolution is 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768, you can resize the image to 1280x1024 by pressing the Resize button on the keypad or remote.

Compatibility

The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including:

•

IBM, SUN, SGI, and selected HP and DEC workstations, up to 1600x1200 resolution.

•

Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
