Connecting Video source devices

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Connecting audio

The projector has one or two built-in mono speakers which are designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker(s).

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector. The audio connections illustrated on page 18 are provided for informational purposes only. You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound system available, or if audio is not required.

MP525 ST specifications

The BenQ MP525 ST and MP515 ST are innovative projectors designed to deliver high-quality visuals for both educational and business environments. With a blend of advanced technologies and user-friendly features, these projectors offer exceptional performance.

Starting with the core characteristics, both models boast DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which ensures sharp images with vibrant colors and excellent contrast ratios. The native resolution of these projectors is XGA (1024 x 768), suitable for detailed presentations and videos. The brightness level for the MP525 ST is typically around 2500 ANSI lumens, providing sufficient illumination for well-lit environments. The MP515 ST, while slightly less bright, still delivers adequate performance for dimly lit rooms, making both models versatile for various settings.

One of the standout features of the BenQ MP525 ST is its short-throw projection capability, allowing users to display large images from a short distance. This is particularly beneficial in smaller rooms where space is limited as it minimizes shadows and enables presenters to stay close to their audience. The throw ratio is approximately 0.6:1, meaning it can project a large image within just a few feet from the screen.

Both projectors come equipped with a comprehensive connectivity suite, including HDMI, VGA, S-Video, and composite video inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices such as laptops, DVD players, and gaming consoles. They also feature built-in speakers that deliver clear audio without the need for external sound systems, making them convenient for quick setups.

In terms of usability, the BenQ MP525 ST and MP515 ST are designed with user-friendly interfaces and remote controls. They include features like keystone correction to help adjust the image shape, ensuring perfect alignment even when the projector is angled. Additionally, the projector’s lamp life is impressive, reaching up to 4000 hours in economic mode, which reduces the need for frequent replacements and lowers operational costs.

In conclusion, the BenQ MP525 ST and MP515 ST projectors are excellent choices for educators and presenters who require flexibility, quality, and ease of use in their projection equipment. With their advanced DLP technology, short-throw capabilities, and versatile connectivity options, these models cater to diverse presentation needs while ensuring that every image is displayed with clarity and impact.
