How to connect a projector correctly

A projector is a device that can project an image – from an SD camera or a laptop, for example – onto a large screen so that a large number of people can view it at the same time. Of course, it can also be slide shows or videos.

We're happy to check whether an accessory fits your device based on your model – connections and dimensions matter more here than price.

When connecting a projector, first check whether the connections are analogue or digital.

Here is a brief overview of the most important types of connection:

– HDMI connection: this connection transmits picture & sound and is required for high-definition image quality (HDTV). The HDMI connection is digital.

– VGA connection: the VGA connection has 15 pins and transmits the image on an analogue basis. In professional circles, this connection is also called D-sub 15.

– Video connection: the video connection is also used to transmit picture & sound. As there is often only a single cable here (with a yellow sheath), the image quality is correspondingly poor.

– Wireless connection: with a wireless connection, the projector can receive signals by radio. All you need is a compatible device.
