How to Project an ELMO Image Projector Through an LCD Projector

Present to larger audiences with an ELMO to LCD projection.

Document cameras, or overhead presenters, such as those manufactured by ELMO, are a convenient method for displaying documents, photos, slides or other physical objects that may not be easily digitized and displayed from a computer. Most ELMO projectors are equipped with several different video output jacks and interface relatively easily with LCD projectors for presentations to larger audiences.

Things You'll Need

• VGA video cable
• Composite video cable

Instructions

1. 

   Standard VGA input and output jack.

   Locate the RGB output and/or the composite video output of the ELMO image projector. Both should be located on the rear of the unit and labeled accordingly. Whichever video output jack you choose should be based on the LCD projector having a comparable input jack.

2. Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the RGB output of the ELMO. Alternatively, connect one end of the composite video cable to the composite video output of the ELMO.

3. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the RGB input of the LCD projector. Alternatively, connect the free end of the composite video cable to the composite video input of the LCD projector.

4. Power on both the ELMO presenter and the LCD projector.

5. Place a document, photo, slide or other object on the ELMO presenter and confirm that the image is being displayed on the LCD projector.

Tips & Warnings

• If possible, test connecting an ELMO image projector to an LCD projector in advance before the actual presentation.
