Connecting peripheral sources and outputs
Follow these instructions if you have a peripheral device to connect to your interactive whiteboard
system.
N O T E S
l Measure the distance between the projector and the peripheral device you want to connect.
Make sure each cable has enough slack to be placed safely in your room without presenting a
trip hazard.
l Do not disconnect cables from the ECP to connect peripheral devices because you could
disconnect controls for your interactive whiteboard.
l Do not connect SBA-L projection audio system speakers to the RCA connector pod. Connect
these speakers to the projector connection panel using a dual-channel (left and right) RCA
plug-to-3.5 mm phone connector (included with the speakers).
l The composite video connector and associated dual channel audio inputs on the projector and
optional RCA connector pod are for input only. These RCAjacks don’t provide an output
signal.
