Features

This IN5122/IN5124 projector can be used with another IN5122/IN5124 projector 

to project an image on the same screen using the Instant Stack feature.  

Both projectors can be operated simultaneously to make the image brighter.  

Moreover, if you connect both projectors with an RS232 cross-over cable, it 

becomes a smart stacking system.  Both projectors can also work separately, 

so that if one projector fails, the other will start displaying your presentation 

automatically.  This Instant Stack feature provides great installation flexibility.
