Colour mode function

The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily obtain optimum images simply by selecting a Colour mode.

In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow images to be projected in their natural tints.

Presentation

Brightness Control

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings.

Fine and clear images can be obtained even in a bright room like a conference room and a classroom.

If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are too bright, change the setting to "Low".

The advantages of the "Low" setting are

•Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%

•Reduction in operating noise of approximately 12%

•Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life

sp.62

Blackboard

Automatic keystone correction function

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. sp.41

Living Room

Compact and lightweight

The projector is compact B5 size (19.3 (D) × 27.6 (W) × 7 (H) cm) and lightweight (EMP-745/737 : approx. 1.8 kg, EMP-740/732 : approx. 1.7 kg). Easy to carry it with the included Soft carrying case which has a pocket to put cables and other accessories.

Brilliant, attractive images

Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright environments.

Easy Selection of Projection Images

Automatically detects images input from connected equipment. You can switch between the images with just a single touch of a button. sp.37

Easy to Operate

The accessory remote control can be used to carry out operations such as pausing projection (Freeze function sp.51), zooming in on important parts of images (E-Zoom function sp.52) and pointing out important parts of images using a pointer icon (Pointer function sp.53).

In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection (Wireless Mouse Function sp.22).

Password protect function assists administration and theft prevention

Password protection function allows you to limit the use of the projector. This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature. sp.31
