Functions

EasyMP supplied with the projector has two main functions:

• Network Screen Function - uses a wireless connection to connect to a network and project images from a computer

• CardPlayer Function - projects files stored on a memory card in this projector and allows a presentation to be shown without connecting to a computer.

Projecting Images Using a Wireless Computer Connection (Network Screen)

Have you ever tried to set up for a presentation where you had to fumble with cables in the limited time between speakers or had to rearrange seating to connect a cable that was just a little too short? By setting up the wireless LAN card included with the projector, you can project images from a computer that has a wireless LAN card or internal wireless LAN functionality.

Easy Connection with a Wireless LAN

The two wireless LAN connection modes are "Easy connect mode (ad hoc mode Of the two, when using "Easy connect mode", connection is as simple as setting up corresponding passwords or numbers on both the projector and computer. Projectors and computers can not only be connected one-to-one, but one computer can be connected to as many as four projectors. This way, projectors placed in several classrooms or conference rooms can simultaneously project images from one computer.

)" and "Access point mode (infrastructure mode)".

English

Functions

Connecting Via an Access Point in a Wireless LAN

If a wireless LAN system is already installed in an office, use the "Access point mode" to share projectors from a participating computer via the company network.

Monitoring Projector Errors with EMP Monitor and SNMP

Using the "EMP Monitor" provided on the included CD-ROM, it is possible to simultaneously monitor and control the projector from a computer, when using "Access point mode" to connect to a computer on a wireless LAN. The monitoring function monitors the error state, power status, and input status of the projector. The control function performs simultaneous start-up, and image signal input switching of multiple projectors. Using EMP monitor, it is possible for a single operator to control the simultaneous starting and monitoring of projectors arranged in separate classrooms or meeting rooms. You can also use SNMP computer. SNMP creates a notification message when an abnormal condition occurs on a projector, and sends the notification to a computer identified by a pre-defined IP address. * In order to monitor a projector using SNMP, you need to first install SNMP

management software on the computer.

to monitor and control the status of projectors from a

Using a Memory Card to Give a Presentation Without a Computer (CardPlayer)

When a memory card containing image files, or a "scenario" made from PowerPoint files, is set into the projector, its contents can be projected directly using the CardPlayer function. Neither a computer, nor the application software are necessary. You can make your presentation with just this projector and a memory card, and not be weighed down by other equipment.

Projecting a PowerPoint file without a computer

Using "EMP SlideMaker2", which is provided on the CD-ROM, makes the following operations simple.

• Extracting the selected slides from a PowerPoint file.

• Combine the selected slides from different PowerPoint files and save them as one file.

This type of file is referred to as a "scenario" in this guide.

In addition to PowerPoint files, a scenario may contain JPEG, and BMP files.

See "Files that Can be Included in Scenarios" in the EasyMP Operation Guide.

Scenario File

Functions

Using "EMP SlideMaker2", you can extract and rearrange the selected parts of your presentation without editing the original files, and easily and efficiently create presentation material tailored to suit your audience and needs. Insert a memory card containing a scenario into the projector. Select the CardPlayer, and use the scenario playing function to present the scenario.

Projecting Photograph Data from a Digital Camera

By storing pictures from a digital camera on a memory card, and inserting that memory card into the projector, the photos can be projected directly using the CardPlayer function. A computer is unnecessary because the projector can show these images directly. If graphics files are combined into folders, besides being able to view a file list, the graphics files can be projected one-at-a-time in order as if showing photographic slides.

See "Files that Can be Projected by the CardPlayer" in the EasyMP Operation

Guide.
