Functions and Features of EasyMP.net
A projector with EasyMP.net can provide various functions required for
presentation by network connection. The following section provides typical
application examples and available functions.
Projection by Network Connection
When the projector is used in class or in a conference room, the projector need not
be connected directly to the local PC. If the projector is connected to the network,
its EasyMP.net can process various PC and projector operations in the on-line
mode.
If a network environment has been established, you skip the preparation such as
data copy in a notebook PC or in the PC dedicated to the projector. You can start
data projection on a screen immediately.
EasyBrowser allows you to connect the projector to the Internet and project the Web
page on a screen. And since you can display the page you need, you can also play
back the motion picture contents available on the Internet. (Java applet pages cannot
be displayed.) If you have saved the contents data in the Web server, you can
present it without using the notebook PC. And in addition you can utilize the real-
time Internet information that is routinely updated.

Using the Projector via Wireless LAN
If you insert a wireless LAN card into the PC card slot of the projector, you can
connect the projector to the network via the wireless LAN system.
If EasyMP.net is not installed in the projector, you must connect the PC to the
projector directly, using a signal cable when projecting a PC file image on a screen.
However, if EasyMP.net has been installed in the projector, you can connect the
projector to the network and project an image shown on the network PC onto a
screen using Network Screen.
If you connect a notebook PC to the projector via the wireless LAN system, you can
project the notebook PC's data in a conference room.
The next presenter can continue without resetting the PC's connection.
