Brightness Control

(EMP-8300 only) This lets you set the lamp brightness to one of two settings. Select "Low" if the images being projected are too bright such as when projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen. When used at low brightness, the life of the lamp will be extended.

Projector ID/ Remote Control ID

Network monitoring and control

The images are paused and unpaused each time this button is pressed.

This function lets you display separate images in a smaller screen (subscreen) over the top of the images that are currently being projected (main screen).

This function lets you select the input source for projected images while viewing the image contents on an external monitor. Images can be checked on an external monitor while using the "A/V Mute" function and while the projector is not projecting images (while it is in standby mode).

If using more than one projector at a time, such as at a show, you can record ID numbers for the projectors and for the remote controls in order to use a remote control to simultaneously operate only projectors with the same ID number.

This lets you monitor multiple projectors and turn their power on and off and change the signal sources via a network. In addition, if a problem occurs with the projector, the projector can send an e-mail message to notify someone of the problem.
