Connecting to a Classroom Projector, Wired
Classroom projectors may be connected to with an HDMI cable and if necessary, and adapter. This solution is suitable for Mac and Windows users. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Connect the laptop to the classroom supplied HDMI cable. Depending on the laptop, this connection may require using one of the attached adapters.
- Turn on the projector using the classroom supplied Epson remote.
- Ensure the projector's input source is set to correspond with the HDMI cable, typically is "HDMI 3". Press the "HDMI/VIDEO" button on the Epson remote to cycle through input options until your computer's desktop is displayed.
- Most computers will be configured to automatically detect this display connection and within seconds, output to the projector. If this does not occur, consider:
- Does your computer recognize that a display has been connected? Go to your computer's settings app and determine if the computer is aware that a connection has been made.
- Is the HDMI cable securely connected to the port on the wall and the computer/adapter? A loose connection may cause an inability to display properly.
