EZ-Converter is software that runs on a Window computer. You can use EZ-Converter to
convert a file (ppt) created with Microsoft PowerPoint to presentation data that can be played
back using the YP-100’s Viewer feature.
Following conversion the presentation data can be stored on a USB memory device, which
can then be connected to the YP-100 for the presentation.
Note that the conversion process may result in some differences between the original
PowerPoint file and the resulting presentation data.
Presentation Data
The presentation data produced by EZ-Converter consists of presentation (plf) files and
image (jpg) files. When you convert a PowerPoint file that includes 10 pages of data, EZ-
Converter will create 10 image (jpg) files and one presentation (plf) file that is linked to
the image files. The presentation file will contain information about the sequence that the
10 image files should be projected, along with other playback settings.
