If you need control a projector with the visualizer, please use the projector
RS232 cable (6-pin to 9-pin) to make the connection between the projector
and the visualizer. Some projector models may require a converter cable in
addition to this standard RS232 cable to connect to the projector control
port, for the pin locations and shape of some projectors’ control port
connector may be different from the connector of a standard RS232 cable.
After the visualizer is connected to the projector, you can control projector’s
power on, standby and input selection with the visualizer. (For projectors
other than Hitachi, the Code Writing program that comes with the visualizer
is required for this function.)

Output of the S-Video signal from the visualizer to the projector is already
done in the step 2, where the RGB cable comes out from the visualizer and
goes to the projector. After the connections as steps 2, 3, 4 are made, input
signals from the computer、visualizer CCD and S-Video are going to the
RGB1 input on the projector and will be displayed on the projector screen
as RGB1. These signals can be seen in turn when pressing
