Connect via HDMI

AVAILABLE FOR SALE FROM BMD

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable. To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support

audio through the HDMI port.

Connect via Extension Kit

AVAILABLE FOR SALE FROM BMD

To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable. This is useful when you want to send a signal to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a network cable up to 328 feet (100 m) in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e STP cable or better.

1. Turn off the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.

2. Connect one end of the network cable to the HDBaseT port on the transmitter.

3. Connect the other end to the projector's HDBaseT port.

4. Turn on the projector and HDBaseT transmitter

Note: See the documentation that came with the HDBaseT transmitter for instructions on connecting it to your video device or computer.
