Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Digital Projection portable
projector (hereafter referred to as "unit" or "projector").
This projector is connected to a personal computer or other equip-
ment and clearly projects text or graphics to a screen.
This projector is supplied with convenient software that allows
presentations to be made more simply and effectively. This guide
gives an overview and describes the use of the accompanying
software (contained in the CD-ROM that is supplied with this pro-
jector). Look over this guide in conjunction with the Help func-
tions of the software programs.
Contents of the Supplied CD-ROM
The supplied CD-ROM contains the following software programs:
• Dynamic Image Utility 2.0
• Viewer PPT Converter 2.0
• Image Express Utility 1.0
Please see the Help functions of the software programs for infor-
mation about their functions and operation.
What Can Be Accomplished with the Supplied
Software
Dynamic Image Utility 2.0
• Converts PowerPoint files, JPEG images, and other files and
creates slides that can be displayed with the viewer function of
the projector.
• Captures portions of the image from the screens of word
processors, spreadsheets, browsers, and other programs for
use in presentations.
• By saving the created slides on a flash memory card (*1) and
inserting the card into the PC Card slot of the projector, the
slides can be projected to the screen without connecting a
personal computer.
• The connection of personal computers and projectors by means
of a network environment (*2) or connection with USB cable (*3)
or serial cable allows the following uses. (In a network
environment or USB cable connection (*3) , support of multiple
units is permitted.)
(1) Images and slides can be sent from the personal computer to the
projector and then projected to the screen. When using
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002, slides can be sent
synchronized with the slide show page feed.
(2) A personal computer can be used to switch the projector power
on/off, control the adjustment of image quality and other
settings, and to display the remaining lamp life.
Viewer PPT Converter 2.0
• Converts files created with Microsoft PowerPoint 95/97/2000/
2002 to an independent index format with a simple operation to
enable direct playback with the viewer function of the projector.
• When using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002, Viewer PPT
Converter 2.0 can be started from PowerPoint (by means of add-
in registration to PowerPoint).
Image Express Utility 1.0
• Using a network environment (*2), this program enables the
screen image displayed by the personal computer to be sent to
the projector and then projected to a screen.
• Two methods are available for sending the screen image to the
projector. "Continuous Transmit" automatically sends the screen
image of the personal computer at a fixed interval. "Single Frame
Transmit" sends the screen image by clicking the screen button
(or pressing a key).
*1: Please purchase a commercially available PCMCIA Type 2 (ATA
specification) flash memory card.
*2: Please check the network environment on the next page.
*3: USB cable connection is not supported by the LT260/LT240/
LT220.
