Connecting to a Computer

Projecting Images from the Computer

The shape and specifications of the computer's monitor port will determine 
what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type 
of port your computer has.

Use the accessory computer cable to make the connection.

Some workstation-type computers have a 13w3 monitor port.
In such cases, use a commercially-available 13w3 

⇔

 D-Sub 15-pin cable 

to make the connection.
