  1. I have a mac book air 2015, normally I can work with a projector (school) with an adapter for HDMI.
    Now there is a projector (older model: HITACHI CPRX 78) where this is no longer possible.
    The projector keeps searching for video....
    Searching with the reset key also does not work
    How can I solve this problem

    Thank you

    1. Hello. The projector model is from 2010, I suspect there is no support for this model in macOS. An intermediate piece will therefore not work because communication is simply not possible because the operating system does not support this.
      So I don't know a solution. Unfortunately.
