If you are wondering, how you can connect your digital video camera to the projector. Then you will come to the right place. 

Here in this article, I have a great tutorial that educates you about various ways. To connect your projector with the digital video camera.

In this article, I will introduce two ways to connect your projector to the camera. Both ways wired and wireless.

How to connect the camera to the projector using a cable?

With the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

Step 1: We take the cable.

Here we take the HDMI cable which both ends. Not like a normal HDMI cable which has the same size.

While we take the HDMI cable. Which one end has a normal HDMI head?

Another will have a small HDMI/mini HDMI. This HDMI cable is called Mini HDMI to HDMI cable (Check out the price on Amazon).

Step 2: HDMI cable to the camera.

We take the small end of the HDMI cable first. It will go in the small HDMI port/mini HDMI port of your digital camera.

Step 3: HDMI cable to the projector.

Now it’s time to take the normal-size HDMI. And put in the HDMI port of the projector.

Step 4: Power on

Turn on/Power Up your devices.

What if I have a VGA port on my projector?

If you have a projector that doesn’t have an HDMI port available in the backside of the projector.

So in this case you will need the HDMI to VGA Adapter (Check out the price on Amazon). HDMI female and VGA male.

Step 2: HDMI cable to the projector. The process will be the same. But after that, you don’t have to put the HDMI cable directly in the HDMI port of the projector.

Before that use the HDMI to VGA adapter. And connect the normal head HDMI cable in the HDMI female of the adapter. And then connect the VGA male at the VGA port of the projector.

This extra step is only if you have a VGA port at the backside of the projector.

How to connect a video camera to a projector wirelessly?

If you want to connect the projector and camera wirelessly. Then you have to invest in the Nyrius Aries Pro (Check out the price on Amazon).

Step 1: Collect Essential

Connecting the camera and projector wirelessly. Will be easy as well as costly.

Things you will need Nyrius Aries Pro. Power Bank, HDMI to Mini HDMI Adapter, or Female HDMI adapter to Mini HDMI cable.

And other cables will be available in the box. So don’t worry about them.

Step 2: Receiver Power UP

Connect the power cord adapter to the power outlet and a micro USB will be in the receiver. 

Step 3: Receiver and HDMI cable

Now we take the normal HDMI cable which both ends have the same size HDMI. One end goes into the HDMI port of the receiver and another end goes into the HDMI port of the projector.

Step 4: Transmitter and Camera

We take the transmitter. And you will notice that your transmitter has a large HDMI output. While your camera has a small HDMI input. To connect your camera to the transmitter. 

We will need the HDMI to Mini HDMI Adapter or Female HDMI adapter to Mini HDMI cable (Amazon Link). You can choose one of them and it is up to you.

So here I am giving the example of a Female HDMI adapter to a Mini HDMI cable. Connect the transmitter HDMI head in the Female HDMI and then the Mini HDMI cable in the camera.

Step 5: Transmitter and power source

We connected the transmitter with the camera successfully. Now it’s time to power up the transmitter. To connect the transmitter to the power source.

Micro USB to normal USB cable is available in the box of Nyrius Aries Pro. So here we take the micro USB end to connect with the transmitter.

And the normal end of the USB goes into the power bank (Check out the price on Amazon).

I am here using the power bank for the power source. So that we can freely move to shoot with our DSLR. If you are going to use the camera in only one place.

Then you can also power up the transmitter with the power adapter of your smartphone. And connecting the adapter to the power outlet.

If the connection between the projector and camera does not work. I suggest you. Reset your camera settings. It will resolve the problem.
