We need to run power to hook up this projector in our office? What else do we need to have ran to work with our macs? Ethernet wire? VGA?

Run HDMI cabling if possible; you will get better resolution. If you run VGA instead, you may need to run separate audio lines, but HDMI will transmit both video and audio on the same cable.

To use the projector, you can project a Powerpoint or other presentation that has been saved to a thumb drive and no computer is needed. If you prefer to hook up a Mac to the projector, you will need an adapter. If you are going to hook up multiple computers to use this projector, I cannot help. Also, if you have wireless available, you can have links active to websites within your presentation.

There are wireless devices like Bluetooth that will work. Yes VGA will work but still need to run cable. They sell that cable in 100' bundles and will be the least cost and best results.

It works with VGA, or HDMI and that is the only thing you need other than power. With Apple computers you may also consider connecting an AppleTV for wireless operation if you wanted that.

We just ran an HDMI cable. Provides both video and audio to the projector (the internal speaker is adequate for small to medium sized rooms). If you're using a Mac, I believe you can purchase an adapter that will let it plug into the HDMI cable. VGA is always an option and will adapt to the Mac as well, but you will need external speakers for audio amplification.

Is this question regarding the power supply or the video? or something else? The power supply is universal 100 to 240VAC. The projector itself uses a standard DELL power plug that takes 19.2VDC. If your video source can provide HDMI 720p or VGA up to 960x720 (it actually can take more, but it scales the image).

It depends on what you Mac has for outputs of it has an hdmi you can connect them that way if it just has the digital monitor out you will need a monitor cable and a VGA adapter that goes on the end of the monitor cable and thin plugs into the back of the tv

It shouldn't matter what your using its a plug and play ready projector so it can use hdmi, vga, and a/v cables.

You should be able to connect it to a HDMI port or adapter to your iMac. I had this projector and it would cut off the signal for a few seconds and turn back on. It had some kind of HDMI problem, I ended up returning it. Overall it was a decent projector with ok picture quality in a dark room, but the signal would cut off at random intervals.

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

I bought our projector for a Genealogical Group and we have presenters with both iPads, iphones and Pc laptops. The projector has just an VGA input but I bought adaptors for the Macs. I bought 4 because we need to be ready for older and newer Macs and newer versions. (Apple changed the fitting ports) I can connect any of the Apple products. Each adapter was between $19 and $39 at best buy. If you just need one for your own Mac you may find it even cheaper online. Sorry for the delay,I had to go to the Society Library to check the projector.

There is a VGA port and USB ports on the laptop. It depends on what type of connector the projector has to determine if you can hook it up to the laptop.

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

Yes it is compatible with pc/mac. However, the only cord that comes with the projector is the power cord. You will have to buy the others.

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.

No VGA, but it has a mini-HDMI. If your projector has HDMI input you will need to purchase mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.

I use this to project from a Mac. The split goes to another desktop monitor and to a projector. It has worked well for us. No problem to report. The only detail is that EVERYTiME we turn on the Mac we have to unplug and re-plug in the monitor jack going into the Mac so it will recognize the monitors.

This should work, although the Apple TV and/or the computer may not find the optimized resolution of the projector if connected through this switch. Projectors' resolutions are usually relatively low, so it probably does not matter.

Yes compatible with a Mac, need a dongle to attach the cord from the projector to the computer though.

Primarily you need a cable to connect to your computer. HDMI or USB etc. These cables should cost between $10-$15. You can look at the back of the projector to see the different cable types it uses. You can even use a flash drive for your source.

As long as it has a standard VGA connection it will work... I use mine to connect to a Samsung projector... HOWEVER, there are times it has been finicky... But I usually have luck when I connect it with my MacBook closed.
