Compatible Video Formats

The projector supports analog video in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats, and it automatically adjusts to the incoming signal. It can receive these formats as composite video, S-video, or component video—which it accepts through the Video, S-Video, and Input A (Component) ports, respectively.

The projector also supports digital video (SDTV, HDTV) and various monitor display formats. The projector’s Input A port accepts SDTV and HDTV in either component video or RGB video format; the Input B port accepts computer monitor signals (analog RGB).
