Compatible Video Formats
The projector supports analog video in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats, and it
automatically adjusts to the incoming signal. It can receive these formats as composite video,
S-video, or component video—which it accepts through the Video, S-Video, and Input A
ports, respectively.
The projector also supports digital video (SDTV, HDTV) and various monitor display
formats. Digital video is accepted by the HDMI port and the Input A port (in component
video format). The Input B port accepts analog RGB computer monitor signals.
If necessary, you can select a different Aspect setting to optimize the image. The resolution at
which the image displays for a given setting depends on the currently active picture source, as
listed in the following tables.
Composite video or S-Video

(interlaced or progressive), as defined by the signal format.
