Introduction to Networked Multi-Projection
Networked Multi-Projection (NMPJ) is a projector function enabling projection of
computer screens over a local network.
■Projection Over a Network
Using this software, you can link multiple computers and multiple projectors, for a
variety of projection scenarios.
■Split-Screen Projection of Multiple Images
Images from multiple computers can be projected at once, with the images
projected in separate areas of a single screen.
■Projection of an Image from Multiple Projectors at Once
Images from a single computer can be projected from multiple projectors at once.
Links computers and projectors via a network connection.
• Direct Mode
LAN
Projection of multiple computer screens in split-screen display.
• Meeting Mode, Classroom Mode

Introduction to Networked Multi-Projection
Networked Multi-Projection Overview
For multi-monitor computers, you can project either the primary or secondary monitor.
■Selecting the Projection Monitor
For each computer, you can select the monitor to project.
• With some computers, it may not be possible to switch between projection of the
primary and secondary monitor.
• Software responsiveness may decline when many computers and projectors are
connected over the network.
• For computers that support three or more monitors, the monitor used for projection
varies depending on the model of computer.

To use the NMPJ function, you must install the NMPJ software (hereafter, “the
software”) on the computers to be used.
Instructions in this manual are for installation in a Windows 7 environment.
System Requirements
Software system requirements are as follows.
CPU Core 2 Duo P8600, 2.4 GHz or higher (32- or 64-bit)

Network In TCP/IP network environments, projectors can be connected to
computers via the following LAN connections.
Wired LAN (1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX)
Magnification Display magnification:
Cannot be installed on computers with display magnification set
higher than 200%.
Cannot be installed on computers without a minimum resolution of
1024x768. Additionally, operation is not ensured if the resolution is
switched to less than 1024x768 after installation.

communication over a router, operation is only ensured over one
router hop. Additionally, to use Broadcast mode (P48) with projectors
in other subnets, the router must support IPv4 multicast routing. Note
that the router must be set up to route multicast addresses used by
the software.
• If you are using an Aero style in Windows, this message may be
displayed: “Do you want to change the color scheme to improve
performance?”
