Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:

1.Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.

2.Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 signal input socket on the projector.

Important

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the Monitor Out signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

To connect the projector to a monitor:

1.Connect the projector to a computer as described in “Connecting a computer” on page 18.

2.Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the Monitor Out socket on the projector.

Important

The Monitor Out output only works when Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 is made to the projector.

ViewSonic Pro8400

18

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:

Component Video

S-Video

Video (composite)

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.

See “Connecting a Component Video source device” on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

See “Connecting an S-Video source device” on page 20 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See “Connecting a composite Video source device” on page 21 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.

ViewSonic Pro8400

19

Connecting a Component Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available:

If so, you can continue with this procedure.

If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the

device.

To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:

1.Take a VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable, Component Video cable or a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.

2.If you are using the VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable and the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor, connect the other end of the cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 socket on the projector. If you are using the Component Video Cable, connect the other end of 3RCA type

connectors to the Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr sockets on the projector.

Important

If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

RGB to component adapter (ViewSonic P/N: J2552-0212-00)

Connecting an S-Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket available:

If so, you can continue with this procedure.

If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the

device.

To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:

1.Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video source device.

2.Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-Video socket on the projector.
