What hardware do you need if possible for directly connecting if possible an older Elmo document camera TT02 to the new interactive Smartboard SB-6065 for projection?

I purchased an Onten VGA to HDMI Adapter to hopefully connect an older model ELMO TT02 that doesn't have HDMI to a Smartboard SB-6065 that doesn't have a VGA port but only Displayport and HDMI on to convert signal.  Not having any success doing this.  Instructors would prefer to not have a computer inbetween the ELMO and Smartboard if possible.  Does anybody know a possible method out there to accomplish this?

Docs say this device outputs RGB rather than VGA.

This might be the problem.

I'd say first connect an RGB monitor + verify you see output, then plugin your HDMI device.

If you see no output, you require an RGB -> HDMI convertor.

You'll need active rather than passive cables for this - if the Onten doesn't have an external power supply you will need to switch it to something like https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-JBingGG-Connecting-Monitor-Display/dp/B07VGMJG8T which pulls power from the USB plug (which can simply be plugged into a USB charger like you'd use for a 'phone)
If the output though the 15pin D-Sub is actually RGB and not VGA you're likely to be better using the RCA Composite video out and converting that to HDMI
