INTRODUCTION

The Boxlight 9000 is an XGA multimedia projector designed for fixed installations. It allows 3 computer and 2 video inputs, along with RS-232 control.

Image Resolution

The Boxlight 9000 can display VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA images. The native resolution of the projected image is XGA 1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024 are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector.

Compatibility

The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including:

IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024 resolution at 75 Hz.

Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1280x1024 resolution.

Selected workstations (contact Boxlight for details).

Most standard VCRs, camcorders, DVD and laser disc players.

Unpacking the Projector

The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to make sure all are included. Contact Boxlight immediately if any- thing is missing.

If you are experienced in setting up presentation systems, use the Boxlight 9000 Quick Start card that was included in the shipping box. For complete details on connecting and operating the projec- tor, refer to this User’s Guide.

NOTE: The projector automati- cally expands 640x480 and 800x600 images to fill the screen. You can display these images at their original resolutions by turn- ing off the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto Resize” on page 31 for more information.

NOTE: The projector is compati- ble with many third-party control- lers and amplifiers, including AMX, Crestron, and Extron. Call Boxlight for details.

NOTE: For model 9000-INT: To use video input, an optional video board must be installed in the pro- jector. Contact Boxlight for more information.
