Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I get the image from my computer to display on my board?

  Verify which input on the projector the computer is plugged into. If you have a wall box between the projector and computer you will need to verify that your VGA cable is plugged into the correct input. Next if you have the VGA cable connected to Computer 1 on the back of the projector ensure in the menu settings that you are also set to Computer 1.
