Network Presentations
When the VPL-F40 Series projectors are installed on
a LAN, presentations can be projected from any
PC on that network*— whether connected via a
LAN cable or wirelessly. Switching from presenter to
presenter is as easy as clicking a mouse — there’s
no fussing with cables.
*
Requires supplied application software to be installed on your PC.
High-Speed Image Transfer over IP Networks
Because the VPL-F40 Series projectors employ
efficient compression and transmission techniques,
they can receive and project images via IP
networks for effective presentations from any
networked PC. In fact, they can even handle
animated Microsoft
®
PowerPoint
®
presentations.
Network Presentations Using Up To Five
Projectors
Up to five VPL-F40 Series projectors can be
connected to a network, with the image from a
single PC projected on each of them. This feature
is ideal for both large venues and multiple rooms
in which images have to be projected from various
locations.
Network Presentations Almost Anywhere
By manually registering your PC’s IP address to
the VPL-F40 Series projectors, images can be
projected not only across the country, but across
the globe. This is ideal for applications such as
distance learning and long-distance corporate
communication.
