QUICK START

Place the DP4100/4200 on a solid flat surface at a right angle
(perpendicular) to the projection screen, parallel to the floor. Follow the
appropriate section below for the type of system that you have.

NOTE: The DP4100/4200 has two sets of computer video and audio inputs.
The following examples describe the use of input 1.

Desktop PCs

1 Unplug the monitor cable from the computer.
2 Plug the end of the supplied VGA cable with the large round collar into

the COMPUTER 1 IN port on the projector. Plug the other end into the
computer Monitor Out port.

3 Connect your audio source to the COMPUTER 1 AUDIO inputs on the

projector.

4 You can project without using the PC monitor. To use the monitor, plug

the monitor cable into the MONITOR OUT port on the projector.

5 Turn the projector on and press the key.

Desktop Macintosh Computers

1 Unplug the monitor cable from the computer.
2 Plug the end of the supplied VGA video cable with the large round collar

into the COMPUTER 1 IN port on the projector. Attach the VGA end of
the Mac - VGA cable adapter to the other end of the VGA video cable.

3 Plug the Mac end of the Mac - VGA cable adapter into your computer's

video port.

4 Connect your audio source to the COMPUTER 1 AUDIO inputs on the

projector.

5 To project and view the monitor at the same time, plug the monitor cable

into the Mac end of the VGA - Mac monitor adapter.

NOTE: The DP4100/4200 only supports the Multi-Sync standard as separate
monitors for Macintosh desktop computers.

6 Plug the VGA end of the VGA -Mac monitor adapter into the MONITOR

OUT port on the projector.

7 Turn the projector on and press the key.

Your Proxima Desktop Projector™ 4100/4200

1-3

NOTE: If you turn the projector off while the computer is running, the
external monitor will go blank. This is normal. Just turn the projector on
again and the monitor display will return.

Notebooks

NOTE: If you are connecting to an Apple PowerBook, attach the Mac - VGA
cable adapter to the computer’s Video Out port (or video adapter cable).

1 Plug the COMPUTER end of the VGA Video cable into the notebook’s

VGA Out port or into the Mac - VGA cable adapter (Macintosh only).

2 Plug the end of the VGA Video cable with the large round collar into the

COMPUTER 1 IN port on the projector.

3 Connect your audio source to the COMPUTER 1 AUDIO inputs on the

projector.

4 Turn on the projector and press the key.

Special Configurations

If your computer has an internal monitor but no external video capability
(such as the Macintosh Performa 575, PowerMac 5200, and certain
PowerBooks), you need a video adapter card in order to attach the DP4100/

4200.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

The MediaExpress System

The MediaExpress™ system is a hybrid, next-generation product that brings
the functionality of computers and projectors much closer together.

The MediaExpress system eliminates the need to hook up a computer to the
DP4100/4200. Just print your presentation from whatever application you're
using to a special kind of file (called a .PDF file), copy or store the file on a
disk, then place the disk in the MediaExpress disk drive and start the show.

Cyclops

The Proxima Cyclops® interactive pointer system uses a built-in camera to
function like a cordless mouse. With Cyclops, you can control your
computer's cursor by moving the hand-held wand or pointing with an
optional hand-held laser.

Wireless Audio

Proxima’s exclusive wireless audio system operates in the 900 MHz RF band.
A user-installable transmitter sends stereo audio to speakers that decode the
signal for room-filling stereo sound.

The speakers have built-in RF receivers and can be switched to receive left,
right, or monaural signals. The user can power the speakers with either AC
or battery power.

NOTE: Check your local regulations to make sure that the 900 MHz frequency
is available for use.

2 Insert the RCA jacks on the other end of the computer audio cable into

the projector’s left and right COMPUTER 1 AUDIO ports. If you are using
two audio sources, connect the second one to the projector's COMPUTER
2 AUDIO ports.

If your audio source is monaural, your projector will provide a simulated
stereo output. Connect your source to the left COMPUTER 1 AUDIO port.

NOTE: Although both COMPUTER AUDIO and AUDIO may be connected
simultaneously, only one can be active. If computer video is selected,
COMPUTER AUDIO is active. If NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-Video video is being
viewed, AUDIO is active.

CONNECTING COMPOSITE VIDEO

You can display composite video (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) on the DP4100/

4200.

Video 1

Use the supplied AV cable (see page 1-2) to connect an NTSC, PAL, or
SECAM source to your projector.

1 Find the RCA connector on your video source marked VIDEO OUT or

something similar. This connector is usually yellow. Insert one of the AV
cable’s yellow connectors into the VIDEO OUT jack of the video source.

2 Insert the other yellow connector into the projector’s VIDEO 1 port.

CONNECTING AN S-VIDEO SOURCE

To connect an S-Video source, use the supplied S-Video cable (see page 1-2)
instead of an RCA cable connection. The S-Video cable has identical, round,
4-pin mini-DIN connectors on both ends.

To connect an S-video source:

1 Insert one end of the S-VIDEO cable into the mini-DIN Video Out port of

the video source device.

2 Insert the other end of the S-VIDEO cable into the projector’s S-VIDEO

port.

CONNECTING NON-COMPUTER AUDIO

The AUDIO ports allow the projector to receive stereo or monaural audio
inputs from a composite video source.

Figure 2-16 Audio Input ports

For stereo audio, use the supplied AV cable.

1 Insert the red (right) and white (left) ends of the cable into the AUDIO

OUT ports of a composite video's audio source.

2 Connect the other end of each cable to the projector’s AUDIO ports.

NOTE: Although both COMPUTER AUDIO and AUDIO may be connected

simultaneously, only one can be active. If computer video is selected,
COMPUTER AUDIO is active. If NTSC/PAL/SECAM/S-Video video is being
viewed, AUDIO is active.

2-12

If your TV audio source outputs only monaural audio, your Desktop
Projector will provide simulated stereo audio. Connect the audio source to
the left AUDIO port.

Chapter Two

Connecting a Mouse to the AUX Port (Serial)

A Microsoft®-compatible mouse can be connected to the AUX PORT to
control many of the projector’s built-in features. You can use your mouse to
navigate the projector’s menus in Local Mode or to function as the
computer's system mouse in Host Mode (see Chapter 3).

Projector Audio Out

The projector contains an internal stereo system consisting of an amplifier
and two speakers. Although this system provides high-quality stereo output,
a multimedia presentation may require independently powered speakers or
an external sound system.

NOTE: The projector’s internal speakers can be turned on or off using the
Audio menu (see page 3-24).
