Projector Connections You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound. • Connect any type of computer (Windows or Mac) that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port. • For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and smartphones with compatible video output ports. • If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary. • For slide shows without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera) or an optional Epson document camera. Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
