Step One: Look at the Ports. What are your Connection Options?

 

Please find below two pictures. The top one is the back of a notebook computer, the bottom is the port panel of a projector.

You have 2 optionswhen connecting a computer and a projector .

 

1. Find a the same type of port (connection) on each. This is the simplest. Remember that projectors have many ports of different types to allow the user to connect several "feeds" at once so that during a more complex presentation the operator only needs to use a switch on the projector to "toggle" between "feeds" (i.e. notebook, dvd, camera, vcr, etc)

 

2. Use a third device to convert the signal coming from one port to be compatible with a different type of port.

 

The connections available to you may include the following. Not all notebooks and projectors will have each of these. Click on the name of the connection to display a picture.

    1. Component Video (not shown)
    2. VGA
    3. SVIDEO
    4. Composite (RCA)
