QUICK START
Place the DP4100/4200 on a solid flat surface at a right angle
(perpendicular) to the projection screen, parallel to the floor. Follow the
appropriate section below for the type of system that you have.
NOTE: The DP4100/4200 has two sets of computer video and audio inputs.
The following examples describe the use of input 1.
Desktop PCs
1 Unplug the monitor cable from the computer.
2 Plug the end of the supplied VGA cable with the large round collar into
the COMPUTER 1 IN port on the projector. Plug the other end into the
computer Monitor Out port.
3 Connect your audio source to the COMPUTER 1 AUDIO inputs on the
projector.
4 You can project without using the PC monitor. To use the monitor, plug
the monitor cable into the MONITOR OUT port on the projector.
5 Turn the projector on and press the key.
Desktop Macintosh Computers
1 Unplug the monitor cable from the computer.
2 Plug the end of the supplied VGA video cable with the large round collar
into the COMPUTER 1 IN port on the projector. Attach the VGA end of
the Mac - VGA cable adapter to the other end of the VGA video cable.
3 Plug the Mac end of the Mac - VGA cable adapter into your computer's
video port.
4 Connect your audio source to the COMPUTER 1 AUDIO inputs on the
projector.
5 To project and view the monitor at the same time, plug the monitor cable
into the Mac end of the VGA - Mac monitor adapter.
NOTE: The DP4100/4200 only supports the Multi-Sync standard as separate
monitors for Macintosh desktop computers.
6 Plug the VGA end of the VGA -Mac monitor adapter into the MONITOR
OUT port on the projector.
7 Turn the projector on and press the key.
1-4
Chapter One
NOTE: If you turn the projector off while the computer is running, the
external monitor will go blank. This is normal. Just turn the projector on
again and the monitor display will return.
Notebooks
NOTE: If you are connecting to an Apple PowerBook, attach the Mac - VGA
cable adapter to the computer’s Video Out port (or video adapter cable).
1 Plug the COMPUTER end of the VGA Video cable into the notebook’s
VGA Out port or into the Mac - VGA cable adapter (Macintosh only).
2 Plug the end of the VGA Video cable with the large round collar into the
COMPUTER 1 IN port on the projector.
3 Connect your audio source to the COMPUTER 1 AUDIO inputs on the
projector.
4 Turn on the projector and press the key.
Special Configurations
If your computer has an internal monitor but no external video capability
(such as the Macintosh Performa 575, PowerMac 5200, and certain
PowerBooks), you need a video adapter card in order to attach the DP4100/
4200.
Setup for a third-party adapter is identical to the procedures outlined in the
Quick Start section above. Contact your dealer, Proxima Customer Service, or
a third-party supplier for more information about an appropriate video
adapter.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
The MediaExpress System
The MediaExpress™ system is a hybrid, next-generation product that brings
the functionality of computers and projectors much closer together.
The MediaExpress system eliminates the need to hook up a computer to the
DP4100/4200. Just print your presentation from whatever application you're
using to a special kind of file (called a .PDF file), copy or store the file on a
disk, then place the disk in the MediaExpress disk drive and start the show.
Cyclops
The Proxima Cyclops® interactive pointer system uses a built-in camera to
function like a cordless mouse. With Cyclops, you can control your
computer's cursor by moving the hand-held wand or pointing with an
optional hand-held laser.
Wireless Audio
Proxima’s exclusive wireless audio system operates in the 900 MHz RF band.
A user-installable transmitter sends stereo audio to speakers that decode the
signal for room-filling stereo sound.
The speakers have built-in RF receivers and can be switched to receive left,
right, or monaural signals. The user can power the speakers with either AC
or battery power.
NOTE: Check your local regulations to make sure that the 900 MHz frequency
is available for use.
