Connecting an HDMI device

You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

To connect the projector to an HDMI device:

1.Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port of the video device.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI input port on the projector.

• In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector's HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See "Changing Color Space" on page 30 for details.

•The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 20 for details.

Connecting a Component Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output jacks available:

•If so, you can continue with this procedure.

•If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:

1.Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adapter cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output jacks of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the jacks; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.

2.Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adapter cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the COMPUTER jack on the projector.

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

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 49 for details.

The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.

• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 20 for details.

•If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

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.
