Connecting To Other Video Sources - Epson PowerLite 8200i User Manual

Connecting to Other Video Sources

You can connect a VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, DVD player,
digital camera, or any other compatible video source to your projector.
The projector supports HDTV, NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video
formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video format.
However, you can specify that a single broadcast format be detected.
(See page 65.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only
one type of video signal.
The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, or component
video. You can connect the projector to one or more of these video
sources at the same time. If all three are connected, the projector
automatically selects S-Video as the video source.
The type of cable you use depends on whether you have composite
video, S-Video, or component video. For composite video, use the
RCA cables supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video
cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your
computer or video equipment dealer. For component video, use the
BNC-style cable that came with your video source. See the following
illustration if you're unsure of which type of connectors you have.
