Projectors, once used mainly in business and educational settings, have become more popular in homes as personal entertainment systems. Modern projectors are developed to handle a selection of popular video formats including DVI, VESA, S-video and composite. The InFocus LP130 projector includes two cables for video input and one power cable.
Analog Cable
The InFocus LP130 comes bundled with an M1-DA DVI cable with additional USB attachment. This cable is used for attaching the LP130 to a computer. The cable has three ends, an M1 DVI connector, a VESA connector and a USB connector. The M1 connector plugs directly into the projector. The VESA connector plugs into the monitor port on a laptop or desktop computer and is responsible for transmitting the video signal to the projector. The USB connector is an optional connection and is meant to plug into a USB port on the computer. The USB portion of the M1-DA cable allows the projector remote to be used as a mouse for the computer.
Video Cable
The major video input cable is a CSV S-video to Composite RCA cable. This converts a standard S-Video signal into composite RCA video, the standard yellow plug on most video components.
Power Cable
The power cord that comes packaged with the InFocus LP130 is a standard AC power adapter. It runs at a voltage between 100 to 120-volts and consumes 150 watts of electricity.
