projector that lets you project XGA(EMP-7500) or
SVGA(EMP-5550/5500) full-color images and video onto a
large screen for presentations. The projector can connect
simultaneously to two image sources: one PC or Apple®
Macintosh® computer image sources plus one video source
such as a video tape deck, camcorder, or digital camera. Audio
can also be connected for each image source.
■
■
■
■

Images are displayed in true XGA and SVGA full color
(16,670,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 × 768(EMP-
7500) and 800 × 600(EMP-5550/5500) pixels. Your
projector produces bright images that can be easily seen in
rooms light enough to take notes. Audio can be produced
from the projector’s 1W+1W stereo, which employ a built-in
SRS 3D sound® for output that is rich and powerful. You can
also connect an external speaker when further amplification is
required.
A totally new AVTSS™ (Automatic Video Tracking and
Synchronization Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic
set-up of image from a computer for quick and easy
projection of beautiful images every time.
You can control your projector through a hand-held remote
control unit, with menus being provided for image source
switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also
act as a wireless mouse to control mouse operations on your

(Balanced Image Size Conversion UnIT) chip which supports
XGA(EMP-7500), VGA~XGA(EMP-5550/5500) computer
output, as well as VGA and SXGA output. No matter what
type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video
image of outstanding clarity.
Your projector supports IBM-compatible PCs and laptops, as
well as Apple® Macintosh®, Power Macintosh and
PowerBook computers. The video source can be NTSC, PAL
or SECAM in composite video, S-Video format.
