Connecting a Computer to the Control Pad

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector's control pad (BrightLink 1485Fi+) using an HDMI cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port.
  1. Turn on your projector and computer, if necessary.
  2. Enable Connect ELPHD02 in the HDBaseT settings of the projector's Signal I/O menu.
  3. Connect an HDMI cable to the In1 or In2 port on the bottom of the control pad, then connect the other end of the cable to any available HDMI port on your computer.


  4. Press the 1 or 2 button on the control pad to select the port your computer is connected to. The projector switches the input source to HDBaseT, displays the image from your computer's desktop, and outputs sound, if your presentation contains audio.
  5. If you want to operate your computer from the projected screen using the interactive pens or your fingers, connect the USB cable to the USB-B port on the bottom of the control pad and any available USB port on your computer.
