Interfacing The Projector; Connecting To Devices - D-ILA 1080MF1 Installation And Operation Manual

Connecting to Devices

Before connection, be sure to turn off both the projector and the device to be connected.
• Thoroughly read the manual that is supplied with the device to be connected.
Connecting a Video Processor
• A Meridian/Faroudja Digital Video processor is the ideal companion for your projector. It is capable of
processing and upscaling all your video sources to HD quality and will give you the maximum image qual-
ity from any source. Consult your dealer for additional information.
• Video is connected to the projector via a DVI connector. To avoid image degradation, always use the high-
est quality DVI cables you can. In addition, using HDMI/DVI adaptor cables, you can connect a Meridian
HDMAX 121 HDMI Extender near the projector end of the run, which is especially useful in the case of
long cable runs. In any event, when using a DVI-D cable longer than 5 m, the use of a booster or optical
fiber cable is recommended.
• This projector accepts 1080/50p and 1080/60p signals via the DVI-D connector, and HDCP content pro-
tection is supported.
Connecting a computer or Home Automation System via RS232
It is possible to control this unit by connecting a computer to the RS-232C port at the rear of this
unit. Use a crossover cable for this purpose.
• For details, please consult your authorized dealer.
