Connecting Video Equipment - Epson ELPMB45 Guide D'installation

You can purchase the optional wireless LAN module (part number V12H418P12) from an Epson authorized
reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can purchase online at
epsonstore.com (U.S. sales) or epson.ca (Canadian sales).
Connecting Document Cameras
Document cameras have several different types of ports for connecting to the projector.
For cameras that have USB ports, such as the Epson DC-11 and Epson DC-06, the best way to connect is
directly to the computer's USB port, as shown below. This will enable full interactivity and dual pen support
(using Easy Interactive Tools software) on the document camera image.
Although you can connect the Epson DC-06 directly to the projector's TypeA port using a USB cable, this will
provide only limited interactivity (using the built-in interactive toolbar on interactive models).
For document cameras that do not have a USB port, you can connect to the projector's VGA or HDMI ports. For
interactive models, this will allow use of the projector's built-in interactive toolbar on the camera image.
If the document camera has USB and VGA/HDMI connectors, you can connect a USB cable from the camera to
the computer and a VGA/HDMI cable directly to the projector from the computer's video port. This will
provide two ways of connecting. The USB connection can be used when the computer is on, and the VGA/
HDMI connection can be used when the teacher or another user wants to work with the document camera
without turning on the computer.
On the Epson DC-11/DC-12/DC-20, when the USB cable is connected from the
camera to the computer, the video display port is disabled.
Using a Switch Box
You can use a switch box or control box to connect various video inputs to the projector. However, the primary
computer should always be connected directly to the projector with a USB cable for interactivity and another
cable for video output (VGA, HDMI, or Ethernet). This allows maximum interactivity and dual pen support
(using Easy Interactive Tools software) for the computer. The projector's built-in toolbar will be available for
images from equipment connected through the switch box.

Connecting Video Equipment

You can connect various video devices, such as DVD players, satellite/cable systems, VCRs, or game systems.
Depending on the connectors available on the equipment, you can use any of the projector ports in the
following list. The projector ports are listed in order from highest to lowest quality; if your equipment has
multiple connectors, choose the one that provides the best quality image.
