  • Page 9: Chapter 1: What Is Projectionlink

    Chapter 1: What is ProjectionLink? ProjectionLink is Proxima’s revolutionary new solution to numerous stray cables to simplify projector installations and connectivity. It’s the first single-wire solution that connects your computer and video sources with an installed projector. Utilizing Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded, twisted pair cabling, installing and configuring your installed projector is as easy as pulling a network cable.
  • Page 10 ProjectionLink includes two components: a Transmitter (PL-300T) and a Receiver (PL-300R). The Transmitter is con- nected to your computer or other source and the Receiver is connected to your projector. This Installation Guide shows you how to configure Projec- tionLink. This Installation Guide does not explain how to install ceiling mount projectors or how to pull cable, etc.
