What can be done ?

An external source can be connected to the projector in order to be used as desktop i.e. as background for the connected sources.
The desktop source which is in general a PC can then be used to manage the projector sources which act as source windows on
top of the desktop image. An Ethernet link between the desktop PC and the projector allows the control of the source windows.
