Features
The projector has built-in Windows CE and is compatible with networking. Connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN) allows you to run a presentation using a file stored in a computer connected by the same LAN. You can open the file from a computer located far away from the projector as well as one in the same conference room. Connecting to the Internet only with the projector is also available. When you have access to the projector by using the Web browser of a computer, you can control the projector from that computer.
Connection to a LAN
The projector is equipped with the ETHER connector (VPL-PX15 and VPL-FX50) and a PC card slot, which allows you to connect the projector to LAN by using the LAN cables or the specified/recommended LAN PC card. Installing a wireless LAN PC card to the PC card slot enables wireless LAN connection.
File Manager Function
Use of a computer’s Web browser enables you to add files stored in the computer to the projector or delete files stored in the projector by operating the computer.
Web browser built-in
The Internet Explorer 4.0 and its equivalent is built into the projector, allowing you to connect to the Internet.
Memory function
The projector can store a file imported from a computer or a memory card. When you store the file, you can create a password to prevent unauthorized people from opening it.
PC card slot incorporated
The projector is equipped with a PC card slot. Inserting the PC memory card, in which data are stored, into this slot allows you to run a presentation easily without using a computer.
Presentation Viewer Function
The projector has built-in simple Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel viewer funtions, named Slide Viewer and Worksheet Viewer, respectively. The functions allow you to run a slide show using a PowerPoint file or to project an Excel file without any conversion.
