As seen in the above diagrams, the connection between the receiver and 
the projector are comprised of VGA, S-Video, and RS232. These cables 
are not supplied and must be purchased separately. 
Please note that most projectors use a unique and non-standard Serial 
input connector, therefore you need to build your cable according to the 
pin out provided be the projector manufacturer or purchase a cable from 
them. 
 
If you will be making your own cable, the VSA-31 receiver has the 
following RS-232 pinout:

Note on video signals that go to the Projector 

When you select either of the 2 VGA inputs, the VGA output 
to the projector has the selected signal and the S-Video 
output is blanked out. Conversely, if the input is Composite 
Video or S-Video, only the S-Video output to the projector will 
have a signal. This means that it is possible to use the 
projector’s auto-detect mode to switch between video inputs 
and not even connect the serial port to the projector. 
However in doing so, you will not be able to use the on/off 
button on the sender to control the projector, and you will 
still have to rely on the projector’s remote to turn it on and 
off.
