We'll be mounting our X600 projector to the ceiling, out of reach most of the time. 1) Is this dongle powered by the VGA port? and 2) What kind of throughput does it have -- can you run HD video through it? Thanks

It is not powered by the VGA port. The software installed on the computer can run any video that the computer can run. Android platforms are not supported. Not very user friendly.

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

I'm not sure about that particular brand but if it has dlp link then this is a universal for active dlp link. Usually has a dongle attached for dlp unless its built into the actual projector.

I have used this to go from laptop or desktop (windows OS) VGA port on the pc [that has a video card which supports digital output] to an HDMI input port on Televisions, to get video only. I had to use a separate Y audio cable to get sound from the pc to the TV. Using the projector setting on your pc you will see it on the TV, just check the TV for input, my Mother has DynxxTV and sets it to VGA input, my friend he has to put it on HDMI2 another says their TV has a PC input, so check your TV or Monitor manual.

There are a few potential problems here. Check and make sure your HDMI chord works with other devices. I had a problem with my HDMI plugin after a power surge. The projector was not surge protected. I replaced my Optoma HD20 with this model. I understand that you can take this to an electronics store and have them fixed the HDMI port. This is really the only option other than replacing the whole unit.

Just got the unit. I used it with my Acer k132. HDMI 3D works great. I also used an HDMI to VGA adapter but got nothing. The message on the projector is "signal not supported". I hope that helps.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

Sounds like this is more equipment than you need. If all you are doing is going out from a PC to a projector for a display you might only need a converter piece or just a cable and use the projector as an external display. Can your projector not take an HDMI cable directly? If not can it take a VGA?

How clever are you? It includes a port (standard ethernet plug [RJ45] on the projector end and 2 wires on the other) that is used for control from a projector or the wall remote - if you figure out a way for your PC to use these two wires to activate the motor, you could control it. It's easier to just plug it into a projector that has the screen out port though.The Pinout is here: http://www.elitescreens.com/images/pdf/Wire_Diagram/color_coded_pin_assignments_for_rj45.pdf

Great projector for the money, and it can connect to your gaming system with an HDMI cable. As far as wireless goes, it's OK, but you'll need to buy the BenQ wireless dongle. The wireless works well for doing presentations, but not so much for gaming. Here's the link. BenQ 5J.J3F28.A01 Wireless Dongle, Black

I am fairly sure the device has to be plugged into a PC/MAC USB port to render the video. I don't think it works by just plugging into a projectors USB port as the projector doesn't have a CPU/GPU to render graphics, hence, how this DL-195 chipset works.

My guess is that it wouldn't work properly since you won't be able to play any sound from the Google Chromecast. HDMI includes audio signals but VGA does not (only video). Accordingly, you might be able to get the video signal on the projector by using the adapter but you will loose the audio signal (unless the Chromecast has a separate audio output).

It should work. This dongle makes you download a small app on your local computer (Mac and PC compatible) that allows you to connect to the projector. Make sure you have access to power supply around the projector for the dongle.

looking at the picture I dont see a vga output it has dual dvi and dual hdmi. I believe there is an adapter that goes from dvi to vga like:"StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF)"

To be very honest with you I do not think the mini-usb port in back of the projector is for an external hard drive. I have several HD'S and none of them have a mini-usb-cable. ON page 9 of the owner's manual all it shows is the mini-usb cable to a lap-top. The usb button on the remote is non-working. A better bet would be to hook your external hard drive to a BD player w/a usb port or get a Western Digital media Center and you could connect your HD to the Media Center, either way your movies will be going through the HDMI cable which should give you a better picture than a straight usb cable to the projector.

I have a kind of unique setup, I have an HDMI to VGA converter plugged into the output on the switcher going to my projector. It seems the power draw was too much with the converter in the mix and there was no signal on the projector even though the blue LED lit up and I could select input on the switcher. After plugging in the 5v power it is working correctly. So if you have a setup similar to this you might think about the powered unit, I was lucky enough to have a plug laying around to provide power to the unit to get it working.
