Projecting without an attached monitor

Some display cards rely on sense line information from the monitor to configure themselves for the correct display resolution. The absence of sense line information causes some display cards to output a default video signal, and actually prevents some video cards from outputting video at all.

If you connect the projector to a computer without a monitor, power up your system and check to see if the display resolution is acceptable. If it is not, you will need to set the sense lines to make the projector emulate a monitor (see Appendix C: Sense Lines).
