Various Applications

This chapter explains useful tips for giving presentations, connecting to external equipment, Security functions, and so on.

Changing the Projected Image		16

You can change the projected image in the following two ways.

•Changing by Source Search

The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected.

•Changes to the target image.

You can use the Remote Control buttons to change to the target input port.

Automatically Detect Input Signal and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)

You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source Search] button.

F USB: When image is from a device connected to USB (TypeA) Port.

G LAN: When the projector is connected to a computer via a network, and images from EasyMP Network Projection are projected.

Skipped when no image signal is being input.

Only EB-826WH/825H/824H/85H can switch to USB.

Only EB-826WH/825H/85H can switch to LAN.

Procedure

When your video equipment is connected, start playback before this operation.

Using the Remote Control	Using the Control panel

When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

EUSB Display

Changing the Projected Image		17

q The following screen showing the status of image signals is displayed when only the image that the projector is currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the input port where the equipment you want to use is connected. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.

USB is only displayed for EB-826WH/825H/824H/85H.

LAN is only displayed for EB-826WH/825H/85H.

Switch to Target Image by Remote Control

You can change directly to the target image by pressing the following buttons on the Remote Control.

Remote Control

AEach time the button is pressed, the image changes between the Computer1 and the Computer2 input port.

BEach time the button is pressed, the image changes between the Video and the S-Video input port.

CEach time the button is pressed, it changes to the image from equipment connected to USB Display/USB (TypeA) Port. Only changes to USB Display when using the EB-84.

DChanges to the image projected with EasyMP Network Projection. When projecting via Quick Wireless Connection using the optional Quick Wireless Connection USB Key, this button switches to that image. (EB-826WH/825H/85H only)

When using EB-824H/84H/84L, this does not function even if the button is pressed.

Connecting with a USB Cable and Projecting (USB Display)		18

By using the supplied USB cable to connect the projector to a computer you can project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. Simply by connecting via a USB cable, images from the computer can be displayed.
