The projector can connect to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:

1.Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output jack of the computer.

2.Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER signal input jack on the projector.

3.If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speakers in your presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output jack of the computer, and the other end to the AUDIO or AUDIO (L/R) jack of the projector.

4.If you wish and the AUDIO OUT jack is available on your projector, you can use another suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the AUDIO OUT jack of the projector, and the other end to your external speakers (not supplied).

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 51 for details.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen and the MONITOR-OUTjack is available on your projector, you can connect the MONITOR-OUTsignal output jack on the projector to an external monitor following the instructions below:

To connect the projector to a monitor:

1.Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page 20.

2.Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input jack of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input jack, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input jack of the video monitor.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the MONITOR-OUTjack on the projector.

The D-Sub output only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the COMPUTER jack.

If you wish to use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, make sure the Standby Monitor Out function is turned on in the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu. See "Standby Monitor Out" on page 51 for details.

This combination ensures that images and presentations are clear and vibrant, even in well-lit environments. Additionally, the projector features a contrast ratio of 4000:1, allowing for deeper blacks and more vivid colors, which enhances the overall visual experience.

The MP782 ST is equipped with several advanced technologies that contribute to its impressive performance. Its SmartEco technology optimizes lamp power and extends the lifespan of the lamp up to 6000 hours, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring reliability during long presentations. Furthermore, the projector utilizes BrilliantColor technology, which enhances color accuracy and delivers more realistic images across various media types.

Connectivity is another strong suit of the BenQ MP782 ST. It features multiple input options, including HDMI, VGA, and USB, making it compatible with a variety of devices such as laptops, Blu-ray players, and document cameras. This versatility allows users to seamlessly integrate the projector into their existing technology setup.
