Functions
EasyMP supplied with this unit is divided into the following two functions:
• Network Screen Function - connects to a network and projects 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 Computer Images via a Network (Network Screen)
If a projector equipped with Network Screen is connected to a network via a
wireless LAN, computer images can be projected without cables.
Additionally, if the projector is connected to a LAN, the images of a computer on
the network can also be projected.
Wireless Connection

Functions
Wired LAN Connection
All-in-one Projector Management
If any errors occur with a projector, the projector can be made to notify the details
of these errors to a designated e-mail address.
In this way, projectors installed in remote locations can be monitored and controlled
from one place, saving time and energy.
If "EMP Monitor" is used, you can simultaneously turn the power to multiple
projectors on or off, and control multiple projectors connected to a network.
6
Giving a Presentation Without a Computer (CardPlayer)
By using CardPlayer, files saved to a memory card can be projected without using a
computer.
Scenario files
Graphic files
Movie files
Projecting a PowerPoint File
By using EMP SlideMaker2, the essential parts can be extracted from a Microsoft
PowerPoint file, rearranged to create a "scenario" and transmitted to a memory card.
As these transmitted scenarios are reproducible by Card Player, PowerPoint
presentations can be made at your destination by carrying just the projector and the
memory card on which the presentation is stored.
English
Projecting Photograph Data from a Digital Camera or Memory Card
In addition to being able to view the files saved on a memory card in a list, files can
be projected in order, one at a time, like a slideshow.
Projecting Movie Files
MPEG movies can also be projected. If a movie file recorded on a digital video
camera or downloaded from the internet is stored on a memory card, it can be
played back by CardPlayer in the same way as an graphic file. If sound has been
recorded with the MPEG movie, the sound will also be played back. A more
effective presentation can be performed using movie files.

Connecting in Access Point Mode or Wired LAN Connection Mode
In addition to the Easy Connect mode, there is also the Access point mode and
Wired LAN connection mode for connecting a computer to a projector via a
network.
Access point mode is a mode for connecting a projector to a computer through a
wireless LAN access point on an existing network system.
Wired LAN connection mode is a mode for connecting a projector to a computer via
wired network system. When a wired LAN card is set into the projector, a network
cable is used to connect with a computer participating in a network.
When using a computer connected through an access point, or a company's network
systems, under normal circumstances for both modes, the computer’s LAN settings
remain unaltered, and only the projector is set up.
In addition to being able to project computer images using the projector, you can
use EMP Monitor and Mail Notification Function to monitor the status of the
projector from a computer. "Monitoring and Control Using EMP Monitor" in
the EasyMP Operation Guide
Since the method of connection is almost the same, both Access point mode and
Wired LAN connection mode are explained together here.
English
Before Connecting
Ensure the following have been performed before connecting a computer and
projector to a network.
• Install EMP NS Connection on the computer you will be using. p.17
• Prepare the computer settings to use either a wireless LAN card or
internal wireless LAN functionality. For setup, see the documentation for
the wireless LAN card installed in the computer, or the computer’s
documentation.
• For optimal performance, set the screen resolution of the computer you
are using to XGA or lower with a colour depth of 16bit (Windows) or
Thousands (Macintosh).

Creating and Connecting to Groups
In EMP NS Connection, a maximum of 16 projectors can be registered as a group.
If you frequently connect to a particular projector over a network, you can register it
easily and connect to it quickly by creating and registering it to a group.
For example, in an environment where numerous projectors in various branches are
connected over a network and you want to project from the projectors located in a
specific branch, register the projectors in that individual branch into a single group.
Once projectors have been registered to a group, they can be connected to by simply
selecting that group at the time of connection, saving the time and effort otherwise
required to search for and register the projectors.
Group information can be saved (exported) to a file and retrieved (imported). You
can connect to a target projector easily by importing the group you need to connect
to from a group which has been created and exported by the network administrator.
Tip :
If you click on the "" icon of any EMP NS Connection screen, help will be displayed

En cas d'erreurs sur un projecteur, ce projecteur peut être paramétré pour notifier
des informations sur ces erreurs à une adresse électronique désignée.
Les projecteurs installés dans des emplacements distants peuvent ainsi être
surveillés et contrôlés depuis un seul endroit, économisant ainsi du temps et de
l'énergie.
Si "EMP Monitor" est utilisé, vous pouvez simultanément mettre plusieurs
projecteurs sous et hors tension et contrôler plusieurs projecteurs connectés à un
réseau.

Projection d'un fichier PowerPoint
EMP SlideMaker2 permet d'extraire les éléments essentiels d'un fichier Microsoft
PowerPoint, de les réorganiser pour créer un "scénario" et de les envoyer vers une
carte mémoire.
Comme CardPlayer est capable de reproduire ces scénarios envoyés, vous pouvez
créer une présentation PowerPoint sur le lieu de projection (il vous suffit pour cela
d'emmener uniquement le projecteur et la carte mémoire sur laquelle est enregistrée
la présentation).
95
Fonctions
Projection d'images d'un appareil photo numérique ou d'une carte
mémoire
Les fichiers enregistrés sur une carte mémoire peuvent être affichés dans une liste et
projetés dans l'ordre, un par un, comme un diaporama.
Projection de fichiers film
Les films MPEG peuvent également être projetés. Si un fichier film enregistré sur
un appareil photo numérique ou téléchargé sur Internet est enregistré sur une carte
mémoire, il peut être lu par CardPlayer tout comme un fichier graphique. Si le film
MPEG a été enregistré avec le son, il sera également lu avec le son. Un Effet
