Connecting a Desktop Computer The best way to connect a desktop computer to a document camera/projector is with the use of a long VGA cable and Y splitter cable. In this way, you can still see you monitor image when not using the projector.
Remove the monitor cable from the back of the computer, and insert one end of the Y splitter.
Connect the monitor cable and long VGA cable to the Y splitter as shown below.
