make presentations via a network by simply using a standard OS function
without installing any software. s User’s Guide "Network Projector (EMP-

1825)"

f Advance preparation is unnecessary

Because you can project materials stored on a shared file server or on your
desktop from the conference room, you do not need to make copies of
data in advance.

f Smooth progress

If the projector is connected to a network, you can share the projector
from computers on the network. When projecting data from different
computers during a meeting or presentation, you can progress smoothly
without changing the signal cable between each computer.
Even a large distance between the projector and the computer does not
cause any problems.

Connect a USB cable to your computer and project images from the computer's screen (USB Display)

By using a commercially available USB cable to connect to a computer running
Windows you can project images from the computer. s User’s Guide

"Connecting USB Devices (Digital Camera, Hard Disk Drive or Memory
Devices) (EMP-1825 Only)"

Overview of EMP NS Connection

8

There are two methods of connecting the projector and a computer via
a network by using EMP NS Connection.

Two Connection Modes and their Main Functions

f "Quick Connection Mode" (only when the "Wireless LAN

unit" is installed)

"Quick Connection Mode" only runs when you install the supplied
"Wireless LAN unit" in the projector.
"Quick connection mode" temporarily assigns the projector's SSID to a
computer creating an ad hocg connection, and after disconnecting restores
the computer's network settings. s p.11

f "Advanced Connection Mode"

"Advanced Connection Mode" is an infrastructure connection, and
connects to an existing network system via a network cable.
If you install the supplied "Wireless LAN unit" in the projector, you can
connect to the network via a wireless LAN access point. If you install the
optional "Ethernet unit" you can connect to a network without an access
point. When connecting to a network via the Ethernet unit, connect the
projector to the network hub with a commercially available LAN cable.

Internet

LAN

Supplied Wireless LAN unit

Wi-Fi compliant wireless
LAN card or wireless LAN
enabled computer

• You can easily connect to a computer and project images from the
computer without making network settings.

• This lets you connect easily without a connector cable, and you can
connect even if the projector and the computer are at remote locations.

• From a conference room, you can open and project a file stored on a
computer or file server in another room.

• You can use the Internet.

• You can monitor and control projector's on a network from the
computer.

Overview of EMP NS Connection

f Main functions

The following convenient functions let you make various meetings and
presentations.

• Multi-Screen Display sp.23
You can project different images from one computer to a maximum of
four projectors, allowing you to project landscape images such as reports.

Internet

9

• Movie file transfer (Movie Sending Mode) s p.21
By using "Movie Sending Mode", a movie can be projected much
smoother than when it is being sent from an application running on a
PC. Because the audio is sent at the same time as the movie, you do not
need to connect the computer and the projector with an audio cable.

• Presentation mode s p.20
This function can project PowerPoint slide shows running on a
computer. You can give stylish presentations by projecting a black
screen while making preparations or when not performing a slide show
and so on.

• Distribution function
The screen being displayed by a remote computer can be simultaneously
displayed by up to four projectors with corresponding SSID.

• Switching function
By using the meeting switching function, if EMP NS Connection is installed
on all of the computers, the presenters can take turns and project their own
images without changing cables.

Projecting Movies from a Computer (Movie Sending Mode)

21

In Movie Sending Mode, movie files can be sent directly to a projector.
As a result, a movie can be projected much more smoother than when
it is being sent from an application running on a PC.
Also, because the audio is sent at the same time as the movie, there is
no need for an audio cable between the computer and the projector.
You can set to play back selected multiple files repeatedly and in
sequence.

• Movie Sending Mode is valid for one projector only. It is

q

not possible to apply Movie Sending Mode to more than
one projector.

• Depending on the communication method and the
available reception, the image and sound may skip or stall.

Using Multi-Screen Display

Multi-screen display mode allows you to project different images from multiple
projectors that are connected to a single computer.
With Windows, multiple virtual displaysg can be set in the computer, and each
image can be projected by the projector. This function is not available with
Windows Vista due to restrictions in the Windows Vista specifications.
For the Macintosh, an external monitor must be connected to the computer to
enable the use of the multi-screen display function. Whereas the above
explanation has referred to "virtual display", in the case of the Macintosh, the
operation relates to the screens displayed on the physically connected monitor.

Example of Adjusting the Virtual Display

By arranging the virtual displayg allocation, you can project only the
image that you want to show when making a presentation or project
different images from left to right.

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Sub-net

This chapter explains how to connect a computer to a projector on a different sub-net via a wired LAN or a wireless LAN access
point on an existing network system.

• Searching by Specifying a Profile ....................................38

• Managing a Profile............................................................39

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Sub-net

By default, this application only searches for projectors on the same
sub-net as the computer. Therefore, even if you perform a search for
projectors on the network, one on a different sub-net will not be found.
You can, however, identify and connect to a projector on a different
sub-net, as follows.

• Specify either an IP address or projector name and perform a
search.
The IP address can be input directly. Also, provided the name of the
connected server has been registered on the DNS server, you
perform a search simply by inputting that name. s p.35

• Performing a search based on a profile.
Once you have performed a search for a projector on a different sub­net by specifying either an IP address or a projector name, you can
save the search as a profile with an easy-to-remember name, and
then use that profile whenever you subsequently want to search for a
projector on a different sub-net. s p.36

If a search fails to find a projector, the most likely causes

q

are as follows. Proceed as appropriate, depending on the
cause of the failure.
For both Windows and the Macintosh

• The wireless LAN signal is either out of range or weak.
Check whether there is anything that could be interfering
with the signal.

For Macintosh

• "AirPort: On" is not set, or an appropriate access point is
not selected.
Check whether AirPort is set to "On". Or, check whether
an appropriate access has been selected.

34

Searching by Specifying the IP Address and Projector Name (For "Advanced Connection Mode" only)

35

In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen
shots are used.
You see a similar screen even when using Macintosh.

Procedure

A

Click "Manual search" on the EMP NS Connection
projector selection screen.

B

q

Enter the IP address or the projector name for the
projector you want to connect to, and click "OK".

The search results are displayed on the EMP NS Connection
projector selection screen.
Provided the target projector has been identified, select that
projector, and then click "Connect" to establish a connection.
When you will always be using that projector, save the search as a
profile, such that you do not have to specify the relevant details
every time you perform a search. s p.36

When you use "Manual search" in "Quick Connection
Mode", you can specify the SSID. When there are a lot of
projectors you can narrow the search field by using SSID.

Performing a search with a profile

36

You can save a search for a frequently used projector as a profile. A
"profile" is a file containing all of the information pertaining to a given
projector, such as the projector name, its IP address, and SSID. By
specifying that profile whenever you subsequently perform a search,
the search will be performed using the saved IP address and projector
name. For example, by creating a group of profiles for each place
where a projector is setup and managing them with folders, the target
projector can be found quickly.

Scenario Summary

y

64

A scenario is a combination of PowerPoint, image, and movie files,
arranged in a projection order and saved as a single file, created with EMP
SlideMaker2.
Making a scenario allows you to easily and efficiently prepare presentation
material by extracting the necessary parts of files, and arranging them in
order without editing the original files.

Converting all files in a
single operation without
starting up SlideMaker2

Transfer the created scenarios to store them on a USB storage device
or CompactFlash card connected to the computer. Then, connect the
USB storage device or CompactFlash card to the projector so that you
can use the projector's PC Free function to project the scenario.

PowerPoint files can be converted to scenarios by the following three
methods. When you want to use a PowerPoint file as is, use either
method 1 or 2.

1 Batch conversion without starting EMP Slidemaker2

All of the slides in a PowerPoint presentation can be batch-converted into
a scenario. s "Converting all files in a single operation without starting
up SlideMaker2" p.67

2 Include a PowerPoint file from the file list

After the PowerPoint files have been batch converted to create scenarios,
an image or movie file can then be converted to create another scenario.
s "Starting up SlideMaker2 and Converting Files" p.69

3 Include only the slides you want from the thumbnails

Select only the PowerPoint slides you need and then convert them to a
scenario. s p.69

• When creating scenarios with methods 1 to 2, the

q

following animations
set in PowerPoint are also reflected in the scenario.

•Fly •Blinds •Box

• Checkerboard • Crawl • Dissolve

• Peek • Random Bars • Spiral

• Split • Stretch • Strips

•Swivel •Wi

e • Zoom

• Animations other than those mentioned above are
replaced by the animations in "Animation Rules (Default:
Cut)".

s

p.80

• The picture quality for scenarios created with method 1 is
"Standard" from a possible, "Highest image quality",
"High Quality", and "Standard". When you want to
create a scenario with a high image quality, use methods 2
to 3.

The following table shows the differences when using methods 1 to 3.

Connection Limitations

83

When projecting computer images while running of EMP NS
Connection, the following restrictions apply. Confirm these points.

Supported Resolutions

The following computer screen resolutions can be projected. You cannot
connect to a computer with a resolution higher than UXGAg.

•VGAg640 ^ 480

•SVGAg800 ^ 600

•XGAg1024 ^ 768

•SXGAg1280 ^ 960

• SXGA 1280 ^ 1024

• UXGA 1600 ^ 1200

* Supported resolutions when multi-screen display function is on.

When the following messages are displayed, connect after setting the
computer's resolution to SXGA or less.

One or more connected projectors do not support resolutions greater than
SXGA. Reduce the screen resolution and reconnect.

If a computer with a special screen size is used where the ratio of height
and width is not represented, a screen resolution closest to the width is
selected from the list of seven above.
In this case, in wide screen the horizontal margins are projected, in narrow
screen the empty vertical margins are black.

*

*

*

Display Color

The number of colors for computer screens can be projected.

Windows Macintosh

16-bit color About 32,000 colors (16-bit)

24-bit color -

32-bit color About 16.7 million colors (32-bit)

The operational guarantee for multi-screen display is 16-bit and 32-bit
color.

Connection Number

You can connect up to four projectors to one computer and project
simultaneously.
You cannot connect multiple computers to one projector simultaneously.

Others

• If the transmission speed of the wireless LAN is low, the network might
be cut off easily even if you connect and shut down unexpectedly.

• Audio is not transmitted.

• When Movies are played back, they do not play back as smoothly as
when displayed on the computer.

• Applications that use part of DirectX functions may not be displayed
correctly.(Windows only)

projected by the projector may not match exactly.

Connection Limitations

84

When Using Windows Vista

Note the following points when using EMP NS Connection with a
computer running Windows Vista.

f Limitations when projecting from Windows Photo Gallery

Note the following two limitations when using Windows Photo Gallery
when running EMP NS Connection.

• Slide shows are played back in simple mode when projecting from
Windows Photo Gallery.

Because the toolbar is not displayed, you cannot make changes while
playing a "Theme" (effects), regardless of the "Windows Experience
Index" rating.
Once simple mode has started, you cannot change modes while
Windows Photo Gallery is running even if you close EMP NS
Connection. Restart Windows Photo Gallery.

• You cannot play movies.

f Limitations in Windows Aero

Note the following two limitations when the window design for your
computer is Windows Aero.

• Layered windows are projected regardless of "Transfer layered window"
from "Set options".

For example, when "Transfer layered window" for the EMP NS
Connection toolbar is disabled, it should not be displayed on the
computer's screen, however the toolbar is projected.

• A few minutes after you connect a computer to the projector over a
network with EMP NS Connection, the following message is displayed.

It is recommended that you select "Keep the current color scheme, and
don't show this message again". This selection is enabled until the
computer is restarted.

86

f When a connection is made using EMP NS Connection, the projected image remains as is, and a connection cannot be made from another

computer.

Check Remedy

Did the presenter leave the conference room without
cutting off the network connection?

With EMP NS Connection, the connection with the computer that was previously connected can be cut off
when another computer tries to connect with the projector, and it connects with the computer that is trying to
connect.
Therefore, when a projector keyword is not set for the projector, or if you know the projector keyword, you
can cut off the current connection and, if you perform a connection operation, you can connect to the
projector.
When a projector keyword is set for the projector, if you do not know the projector keyword, cut off
projection from the projector and reconnect. To cut off connection from the projector, press the [Esc] button
on the remote control, select "Close" from the close menu and press the [Enter] button on the remote control.
When it cuts off, you can connect from the target computer.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

CopyrightZ 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street,
Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and
distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the
successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version
number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to
make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially
designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software
Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we
suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary
General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case,
based on the explanations below.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a
fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other
code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients,
so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the
library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library,
and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no
warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else
and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the
original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by
problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free
program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the
users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.
Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the
library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this
license.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have
the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if
you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you
can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors
to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies
of the library or if you modify it.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public
License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the
ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in
order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared
library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a
derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License
therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of

98

freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for
linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does
Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It
also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over
competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the
ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser
license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage
the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto
standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the
library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely
used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free
library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs
enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For
example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables
many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its
variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users'
freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the
Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the
library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived
from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order
to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND

CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,

DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other
authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee
is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so
as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of
those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has
been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means
either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source
code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only
if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use
of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what
the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete

source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate

99

copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and
distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you

may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it,
thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating

that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to

all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of

data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility,
other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then
you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an
application does not supply such function or table, the facility still
operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful.

and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with
the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this,
you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this
License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General
Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if
you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so
the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies
and derivative works made from that copy.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a
purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application.
Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function
or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does
not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library
into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it,

under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange.

100

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code
from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is

designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is
called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a
derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of
this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an
executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of
the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is
therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of
such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is
part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of
the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is
especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the
work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely
defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts
and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less
in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether
it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus
portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the
object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables
containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked
directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a
"work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work
containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms
of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work
for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such
modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library
is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You
must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays
copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library
among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-

readable source code for the Library including whatever changes
were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1
and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the
Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the
Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can
modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable
containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who
changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not
necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified
definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.

A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the
library already present on the user's computer system, rather than
copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate
properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs
one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the
version that the work was made with.
