Introduction

The compact, lightweight EPSON® ELP-3300 Projector allows you to project computer images and video onto a large screen for full-color presentations. The projector can connect simultaneously to two image sources; one can be your PC or Apple® Macintosh® computer and the other can be a video source, such as a VCR, camcorder, digital camera, or laser disk player. Audio can be supplied with one or both image sources.

Images are displayed in up to 16 million colors at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The projector’s 300-lumen bulb produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes. You can play audio on the projector’s internal speakers or route it to an external speaker for amplification. You control the projector through a hand-held remote control, which allows you to switch between image sources and make adjustments to the projected image.

The projector supports any computer capable of VGA output, including IBM®- compatible PCs and laptops and Apple Macintosh computers, including the PowerBookTM and Power Macintosh.TM The video source can be NTSC, PAL, and SECAM in composite video or S-Video format.
