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 ports, respectively.

The projector also supports digital video (SDTV, HDTV) and various monitor display formats. Digital video is accepted by the HDMI port and the Input A port (in component video format). The Input B port accepts analog RGB computer monitor signals.

If necessary, you can select a different Aspect setting to optimize the image. The resolution at which the image displays for a given setting depends on the currently active picture source, as listed in the following tables.
