Network functionality
What can be done ?
The network functionality allows the projector to perform several network functions thanks to network features which are required in
most corporate environments:
•
Control & Management
: wireless/wired (remote) control and monitoring of the projector(s) thanks to a user-friendly GUI (the
Client software).
•
Diagnostics
: diagnostics through a user-friendly GUI and automatic E-mail sending.
•
Easy file (MS PowerPoint,...) manipulation and projection using the
DropZone
interface.
•
Remote control
of the projector by allowing the desktop to be shared over the network (the
DropZone
interface).
•
Streaming media
: The projector’s onboard computer is streaming video data ready, i.e. allowing the decoding of video stream-
ing data coming from a server via the LAN.
