CONTROL YOUR PROJECTOR FROM YOUR PC

ProjectorManager™software allows you to quickly and easily operate your
projector from your computer. Make adjustments to the projected image
or change settings without using a remote. When you want to make a
minor change to your presentation before showing it to your audience,

on the screen remains frozen. If you need a little extra help, you can
discreetly troubleshoot or even send an e-mail to InFocus Corporation
Technical Support over the network – no need to look up phone numbers.
No matter what comes your way, ASK makes it easy to stay cool and
collected during your presentation.

show films. Add the Internet to your presentations and refer to information
on the Web live on the big screen. You can even connect easily to a
digital camera for a larger-than-life slideshow. No matter what you want
to project, the C40 and C50 make it easy. And active monitor loop­through means you don’t have to unhook the projector when it’s not in
use to view your computer monitor. A zoom lens allows you to easily

PRESENTATIONS THAT PERSUADE

Your brilliant ideas already hold the attention of your
audience or students. But imagine what you could do
with images, colour, sound and the ability to show
films or view information on the Internet live to
support your message. When you present with an
ASK C40 or C50 projector,the possibilities are end­less. You can persuade and convince people with a
variety of multimedia content. Information retention
is higher and teamwork is immediate—people are
inspired to participate. The C40 and C50 also make
small group meetings more efficient—instead of
scribbling notes on the whiteboard, you can brain­storm and capture ideas or complete spreadsheets
in realtime.

C50 have a new design that revolutionises ease of
use. Set-up and control of the projector are right at

menus that pop up on the screen telling you exactly
what to do next. You just scroll and select. At only 2.6
kg the C40 and C50 can be easily carted or carried

C50 are an investment you won’t want to be without.
