1. Connect the USB cable to your projector's USB-B1 port. Note: If your computer is connected to the projector's HDMI3 port, connect the USB cable to the projector's USB-B2 port. You can change the HDMI port associated with the USB-B2 port by changing the USB-B2 setting in the projector's Pen/Touch > PC Interactivity menu. 2. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer. Parent topic: Connecting to Computer Sources Related references Pen and Touch Setup Settings - Pen/Touch Menu Connecting a Computer to the Control Pad If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector's control pad (BrightLink 1485Fi) using an HDMI cable. Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port. 1. Turn on your projector and computer, if necessary. 44
