INTRODUCTION
®
The InFocus
LP930™ XGA multimedia projector is specifically
designed for fixed installations. The projector features an M1-DA
connector for easy, built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity.
It allows four computer, three video, and three audio inputs, one
audio output, and RS-232 control.
Image Resolution
The native resolution of the 930’s projected image is XGA
1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024
are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress
screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen
resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution
before you connect the projector.
Compatibility
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and
video devices, including:
•
IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024
resolution.
NOTE: The LP930 automatically
expands 640x480 and 800x600
images to 1024x768. You can dis-
play these images at their native
resolutions by turning off the Auto
Resize feature. See “Resize” on
page 32 for more information.
•
Apple® Macintosh® and PowerBook® computers up to
1280x1024 resolution.
•
Most standard VCRs, DVD players, HDTV sources, camcorders and laser disc players.
•
Selected workstations (contact your dealer for details).

Usage Guidelines
•
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
•
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
•
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
•
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.
•
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 50.

details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. A
longer term warranty can be purchased from your InFocus
dealer. Refer to page 50 for the part number.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
Place the projector on a flat surface.
1
•
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
•
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”
on page 36 to reverse the image.
•
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for
more information. To turn the image upside down, see
“Ceiling Projection” on page 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 50.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
2
•
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and
minimum and maximum distances to the screen.
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69

The projector is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you
to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall)
without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly
square image. Turn the lens shift knob on the side of the projector
to make this adjustment (Figure 4).

There are 3 video inputs: Composite video, S-video, and Component video. For Composite and S-video, follow these instructions:
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
1
connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with
the projector.
•
If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the A/V
cable. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional
Accessories” on page 50.)
Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out”
2
connector on your video player (Figure 11). This connector
may be labeled “To Monitor.”
•
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video
out” connector on the video player (Figure 12).
Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-

The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for
the incoming video. The input signal for SECAM video is similar
to other video signals and cannot be automatically detected,
therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. See “Video Standard” on page 35 for details.
