Connections to the Vision 10/12

Proceed as follows to connect the Vision 10/12 to your video sources, external controller(s) -- if present -- and AC power.

When connecting your equipment:

•Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

•Use the correct signal cables for each source.

•Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.

Route all cables through the opening on the rear underside of the

Tip projector. This allows you to keep the connector panel access door closed, making for a more tidy installation.

		gently on it to open the door.
Connecting the Vision 10/12	➤	Connect your video sources to the Vision 10/12 as shown and described in the sections that
to Source Components		follow.

		decoder, personal computer or any other device with a DVI or HDMI output. Connect such
		devices as shown in Figure 3-7or Figure 3-8.

Tip

Note

Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output into the projector.

In order to connect an HDMI component, you need a DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter (not included).

The Vision 10/12 supports the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard. This standard provides “Plug and Play” capability; the projector and a VESA DDC-compatible computer communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick and easy setup.

In order for Plug and Play to work correctly, you must turn on the projector before you turn on the connected computer.
