Using infrared communications (

IrCOM

)

If you use the NV5/6/7 projector, transferring images can be performed
using infrared communications (IrCOM). The PC requires a built-in infrared
communications port or an external infrared communications adapter.

For Windows 95 users:
Microsoft 

IrDA

 2.0 (Infrared Driver) must be installed on your PC

to use this software. If it is not installed, you can obtain it from
the Microsoft’s site on the Internet.

For Windows 98 users:
Microsoft Windows 98 supports IrDA communications as a
default program.
Please consult to Microsoft operation manual for more details.

For Windows NT4.0 Workstation, Me, 2000 Professional , XP Home
or Professional Edition users:
Infrared communications (IrCOM) cannot be used.

The transmission speed of infrared communications is
dependent on the IrDA version of the PC.

IrDA 1.0 : 9,600 bps - 115.2 kbps

IrDA 1.1 : 4 Mbps

Therefore the actual speed depends on the IrDA version your PC
supports.
See the computer’s instruction manual for the IrDA specifications.

We cannot guarantee that the software will operate on computers whose
motherboards have been changed or modified, or on computers that
the users have configured themselves.
