Completing Software Projection Settings
Software settings can be configured to specify the image quality of computer
projection, user nicknames, and other details.
1Click next to the computer icon.
2The settings window is displayed. Complete each setting as needed, and
then click [OK].
Available settings are as follows. (Types of settings vary slightly by mode.)
When setting windows are displayed while layout windows are minimized to the taskbar,
some information may be cut off.
Picture qual settingSelect one of the following options, depending on your
preferred image quality and frame rate.
High: Projects at a lower frame rate while
emphasizing image quality. Select this
mode if lower image quality is not
acceptable.
Medium: Projection with image quality and frame
rate balanced.
Low: Projects at lower image quality to maintain
a high frame rate. Select this mode to
reduce the network bandwidth used for
projection.
RealOn: Projection matching the computer display
resolution. Available under the following
conditions.
When projecting from a single computer—
or during projection from multiple
computers, when projecting an enlarged
image from one computer—at a display
resolution lower than the projector
resolution.
Off: Automatically adjust the projection size to
match the projector screen size.

Completing Software Projection Settings
Projection typeNormal: Although some windows cannot be
projected, the cursor on the computer
monitor will not flash.
Advanced : Most windows can be projected, but the
cursor on the computer monitor will flash.
(Only the cursor on the computer monitor
will flash, not the cursor in projected
images.)
SoundSpecify audio transfer. This item is not displayed for
sessions that include projectors or computers running
NMPJ V1.0.
On: Images displayed on the computer are
transferred with accompanying sounds to
the projector. This sound is produced by
the projector showing the images at the
same time as the images.
This function is available when projecting
from a single computer, or during
projection from multiple computers, when
projecting an enlarged image from one
computer.
Although sound also stops when
projection is blanked from the NMPJ
software, sound does not stop when
projection is blanked from a projector, by
activating the blanking function.
Volume is automatically adjusted by the
NMPJ software.
Off: Sounds are not transferred. Audio output
from the projector is stopped.

Split-Screen Display With Non-Network Sources
Split-screen display combining images transferred over a network with other input
signals (HDMI, digital or analog computer, or component signals) is supported.
Network input cannot be combined with USB input for split-screen display.
When a session includes projectors or computers running NMPJ V1.0, nothing is
projected on the screen for the network source, because no signal is received.
Network sources can be used for both sides of split-screen display. For details on
split-screen display, refer to the projector user’s manual.
Split-screen display is only available when the screen is evenly divided on the left
and right, not with 70:30 or 30:70 layouts.
Even when only one projector is used for split-screen display with images
transferred from this software, image quality is automatically set to [Low] (to
maintain transfer speed) and cannot be changed.
However, the image quality setting itself, on the setting screen, is not changed. The
original image quality is restored once you finish with split-screen display.

Tips for Better Networked Projection
■ Avoid Exceeding Connection Limits
The maximum number of computers and projectors that can be connected varies
by mode. When this limit would be exceeded, it is not possible to add computers or
projectors to a session. Thus, if the total number of computer users requesting to
join a session at the same time would exceed the limit, their requests may be
denied. In this case, an error message is displayed on the computers that could not
join the session.
Similarly, if the total number of projectors users attempt to add to a session at the
same time would exceed the limit, their requests may be denied. In this case, a
message is displayed on computers that could not add projectors, indicating that
the projector list has been updated.
■ When Removing the Only Projector Listed
In Meeting, Classroom, and Broadcast modes, projectors can also be added or
removed after sessions are created. However, a confirmation message is displayed
if you attempt to remove the last connected projector in a session, which would
leave no projectors in the session.
■ Operation if Devices Are Disconnected
If the connection is lost (for example, if a LAN cable is accidentally disconnected),
the affected computer or projector leaves the session. Disconnection of essential
computers or projectors will terminate a session.
For example, in Classroom Mode, disconnection of the presenter’s computer will
terminate the session.
■ If Projectors Cannot Be Detected
If projectors cannot be detected or no image is displayed (except for the cursor)
when you are attempting to connect to projectors in other subnets in Broadcast
Mode, make sure the router supports multicast routing. Routers that do not support
IPv4 multicast routing cannot be used to connect to projectors in other subnets in
Broadcast Mode. Note that the router must be set up to route multicast addresses
used by the software.
In Broadcast Mode, the following message is displayed if no signal is received from
computers for 30 seconds. The projector IP address and name are not identified.
70
Page 71
Restrictions
■ Router Connections
Although the software can also link computers and projectors over a network via a
router, operation is only ensured over one router hop. Note that before projecting
from projectors in other subnets in Broadcast Mode, you must configure the router’s
multicast routing settings. For details, ask your network administrator.
■ Security Dialog Box Projection
The software cannot be used to project the Windows Security dialog box, normally
accessed by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.
■ Screen Capture Software
It may not be possible to start the software while software that restricts screen
captures is running.
■ Animated Cursors
Animation of animated cursors is not projected.
■ Alternative Cursors
Cursors used by some software may not be projected correctly. In this case, an
arrow pointer is projected.
■ Projection Restrictions
Some windows and icons displayed on computers cannot be projected. Although
switching the projection type to advanced will enable projection of more elements,
not all elements can be projected even in this case.
Projected images may not always match the computer screens.
■ Network Bandwidth
Some network conditions may cause a delay in projection. The source may also be
disconnected, if the connection is unstable.
■ Projection through Firewalls
Some software functions may not be available in environments where Windows
Firewall or other software restricting network communication are installed.
■ Software Display
Software display may be distorted if you have adjusted the screen resolution in
Windows.
