What is expected projected image size for my SCP projector?

What type of input cables should I use for my 3M projector?

For best results, use the supplied cables that come with your 3M product for all equipment connections. 3M supplied cables and cable lengths have been tested to perform within 3M standards to give you quality results. The use of other input cables has not been tested by 3M and you must evaluate them to determine if they are suitable for your intended application.

Limitations for purchasing 3m Projector?

There are limitations in cable technology that should be considered when designing an installation with a long cable run. Please be advised that 3M cannot test all cable performance in all situations. Only cables provided with the product have been tested in full by 3M

Some things to consider when designing a long cable run:

• Always use high quality input cables. Using low quality cables will degrade the image
• Connecting a series of shorter cables together will degrade image quality. Always use one continuous cable.
• Cable runs of 50 to 100 feet can produce quality images but only if you use high quality cables.
• Always install cables so that they will not be pinched or damaged.
• For longer cable runs, installing an in-line signal booster can increase the strength of the signal to improve the projected image.

Characteristics of High Quality Input Cables:
If a 3M supplied cable cannot be used, then substitute only a high quality input cable as defined below. Ultra-High-Grade VGA Cable (50-100 feet): Use for video presentation devices, home theatre and HDTV applications, classroom environments, POS, and server rooms. Specifications should include the following features:

• Connectors: HD15 Male to HD15 Male.
• CL3 rated.
• Constructed from premium grade double-shielded twisted pairs and triple-shielded coax.
• Ultra shielded for protection from EMI / RFI interference.
• No signal amplifier needed. Note: Unless specified otherwise, longer cable runs will need an in-line signal booster.

USB 2.0 Booster Extension Cable (75 feet):
Connects to both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. Specifications should include the following features:

• Connect to USB devices up to 75 feet away (with additional Booster cables daisy chained together).
• Ultra shielded for protection from EMI / RFI interference.
• USB 2.0 compliant; up to 480 mbps data transfer rate.
• No signal amplifier needed. Note: Unless specified otherwise, cable runs over 16 feet require a signal amplifier.
