Connecting Video Source Devices - InFocus X17 Reference Manual

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any
one of the following output sockets:
• Component Video
• S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video
quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of
matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described
below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be
confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output
Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your
connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.
See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 16

Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard
composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals
on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

projector to an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but
less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the
available methods described here.

Connecting audio
The projector has one built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic
audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only.
They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might
be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input
(if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector
speaker.
