EasyMP.net Operation Guide

Projecting PC Images (Network Screen)

If the projector is connected to a PC via a network, images stored in the PC 
can be projected after a simple setup process.

System Configuration Example

Network Screen allows you to easily connect a PC to the projector in Easy 
Connection mode. In EasyConnection mode, wireless LAN adhoc mode is 
used (direct communication without passing through an acces point) and 
the PC is connected to the projector without using a complicated network 
setup.
EasyConnection mode can be used if the projector setup is changed in 
EasyConfiguration.  

p.24

 "Before Starting the Network Screen".

Before Starting the Network Screen

Before starting the Network Screen, perform the following:
• Install EMP NS Connection on the PC.

"EasyMP.net Software" in the 

EasyMP.net Setup Guide

• Prepare a network connection for both PC and projector.
• The following options must be set in EasyConfiguration:

- Set Network Screen to "Use" (

 

p.21

).

- Set the projector keyword to "Use" (

 

p.21

).

• Set the following options in EasyConfiguration when connecting the PC 

and projector in EasyConnection mode.
- Set "Adhoc mode" to "Enable" for wireless LAN setup (

 

p.20

).

- Set "EasyConnection" to "Enable" for Network Screen setup (

 

p.21

).

The following restrictions apply if EMP NS Connection is used and PC 
images are projected by the Network Screen function.

Supported resolution

The screen resolution of the PC is limited to the following when images 
are projected. A PC which has a resolution higher than the
