Overview of EMP NS Connection
8
There are two methods of connecting the projector and a computer via
a network by using EMP NS Connection.
Two Connection Modes and their Main Functions
f "Advanced connection mode"
"Advanced connection mode" is an infrastructure connection, and
connects to an existing network system via a network cable.
If you install the optional wireless LAN unit in the projector, you can
connect to the network via a wireless LAN access point.
Internet
LAN
• From a conference room, you can open and project a file stored on a
computer or file server in another room.
• You can use the Internet.
• You can monitor and control projectors on a network from the
computer.
f "Quick connection mode" (Only when the optional
wireless LAN unit is installed)
"Quick connection mode" only runs when you install the optional
wireless LAN unit in the projector.
"Quick connection mode" temporarily assigns the projector's SSID to a
computer creating an ad hoc connection, and after disconnecting restores
the computer's network settings.
Optional wireless LAN unit installed Wi-Fi compliant wireless
LAN card or wireless LAN
enabled computer
• You can easily connect to a computer and project images from the
computer without making network settings.
• This lets you connect easily without a connector cable, and you can
connect even if the projector and the computer are at remote locations.
Overview of EMP NS Connection

f Main functions
The following convenient functions let you make various meetings and
presentations.
• Multi-Screen Display sp.21
You can project different images from one computer to a maximum of
four projectors, allowing you to project landscape images such as reports.
Internet
• Movie file transfer (Movie Sending Mode) s p.19
By using "Movie Sending Mode", a movie can be projected much
smoother than when it is being sent from an application running on a
PC. Because the audio is sent at the same time as the movie, you do not
need to connect the computer and the projector with an audio cable.
• Presentation mode s p.18
This function can project PowerPoint slide shows running on a
computer. You can give stylish presentations by projecting a black
screen while making preparations or when not performing a slide show
and so on.
• Distribution function
The screen being displayed by a remote computer can be simultaneously
displayed by up to four projectors with corresponding SSIDs.
• Switching function
By using the meeting switching function, if EMP NS Connection is installed
on all of the computers, the presenters can take turns and project their own
images without changing cables.
Steps for Connecting in Advanced Connection Mode
Use the following steps to connect and project in EMP NS Connection
Advanced connection mode.

Also, because the audio is sent at the same time as the movie, there is
no need for an audio cable between the computer and the projector.
• Movie Sending Mode is valid for one projector only. It is
q
not possible to apply Movie Sending Mode to more than
one projector.
• Depending on the communication method and the
available reception, the image and sound may skip or stall.

Using Multi-Screen Display
Multi-screen display mode allows you to project different images from multiple
projectors that are connected to a single computer.
With Windows, multiple virtual displays can be set in the computer, and each
image can be projected by the projector. This function is not available with
Windows Vista due to restrictions in the Windows Vista specifications.
For the Macintosh, an external monitor must be connected to the computer to
enable the use of the multi-screen display function. Whereas the above
explanation has referred to "virtual display", in the case of the Macintosh, the
operation relates to the screens displayed on the physically connected monitor.
