Compatible Video Formats
The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
international video standards, as well as the monitor and
HDTV display formats listed below.
To project images output from a computer, the computer’s
video card must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency)
that’s compatible with the projector; see the following table
for compatible formats. As noted below, some images are
automatically resized to display in one of the projector’s
“native” formats (such as XGA). In addition, the frequencies
of some computers may not allow images to display correctly;
see your computer’s documentation for details.

The image is resized using EPSON’s SizeWise Technology.
