- Go to our Bookings page to find details of booking data projectors at your campus
- Video Cables / Connections
- video signal passes through a short or a long VGA cable from the computer to the data projector (all carts come with these cables)
- video signal can be passed through an RCA cable from a DVD or VCR to the data projector (order from Audiovisual Dept. if needed)
