Signals that can be input into the Projector
The following signals can be input to the projector.
Video signals
(1) Response to Decoder

[G], [B], [R], [H/Cs], [V]*4 | O*2 | O*2 | O*2 | O*2 |
*1: Responds if Y/C output is available.
*2: Signifies that component signals (Y, PB, PR/Y,
*3: To use these signals, it is required to set the “PC2(BNC)” item in the “Options” menu to “YPBPR”. (☞ page 39)
*4: To use these signals, it is required to set the “PC2(BNC)” item in the “Options” menu to “RGB”. (☞ page 39)
(2) Responds to double density*5, high-vision signals.

*5: Signals of which density of scanning lines per field is twice as high.
*6: Responds to signals of which the horizontal scanning frequency is 31.47 kHz. NTSC can be made twice as dense by a line doubler (separately available: recommended article). It can also respond to
*7: Responds to signals of which the horizontal scanning frequency is 31.25 kHz. PAL can be made twice as dense by a line doubler (separately available: recommended article).
*8: To use these signals, it is required to set the “PC2(BNC)” item in the “Options” menu to “YPBPR”. (☞ page 39)
*9: To use these signals, it is required to set the “PC2(BNC)” item in the “Options” menu to “RGB”. (☞ page 39)
(3)Response to DTV-format signals
Computer signals
Computer signals can be input to the [PC1], [PC2] ([G], [B], [R], [H/Cs], [V])*11 or [PC3]
Scanning frequencies in the following ranges can be inputted.
Horizontal scanning frequency | : | 15 kHz - 120 kHz |
Vertical scanning frequency | : | 24 Hz, 25 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz - 120 Hz |
Be sure that the computer used meets the following conditions.
•The computer has a video signal output port.
Confirm if the computer has a video signal output port by consulting the computer’s manual. The video signal output port is generally called RGB port, monitor port, or video port.
In the case where the computer comes with a
•The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page 20. Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within this range.
Video signals out of this range should not be used.
(Out of range signals can be projected but the image may not turn out sharp. Signals within the range may occasionally require adjustment, depending on the video board used). When signals other than those listed in the table on page 20 are input, the image could be partially erased or unwanted
Some signals within the frequency range may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal. Composite sync (Cs) and G on Sync signals cannot be handled depending on the devices connected.
HDCP compatible signal
[PC3 DVI] input terminal can accept HDCP compatible video signals (480p, 576p, 720p 50/59/60 Hz, 1080i 50/59/60 Hz). The menu is same as when PC input is selected.
