Compatible Video Formats
The projector supports analog video in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats, and it
automatically adjusts to the incoming signal. It can receive these formats as composite video,
S-video, or component video—which it accepts through the Video, S-Video, and Input A/B
ports, respectively.
The projector also supports digital video (SDTV, HDTV) and various monitor display
formats. Digital video is accepted by the HDMI port. The Input A and Input B ports also
accept digital video (in either component video or RGB video format), as well as analog RGB
computer monitor signals.
Note:
The signal name refers to the total number of visible scan lines (e.g., 720) and the display
mode (interlaced or progressive), as defined by the signal format.
If you’re projecting from a computer in analog RGB format, set the computer’s video card at
a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that’s compatible with one of the monitor formats listed
below. The frequencies of some computers may not allow images to display correctly.
