Network File Viewing
*
When the VPL-DX15 is connected online, operators can
easily access data files stored on a networked PC, and
can project those files – as displayed on the PC screen –
even if the PC is in a different location, far away from the
presentation room.
These files can be selected and projected by the VPL-DX15
simply by manipulating the projector’s Remote
Commander
®
unit – no need to convert them in advance
to other file formats, such as a JPEG format. Supported
files include Microsoft PowerPoint
®
**, Excel
®
**, and
Windows Media
®
video (WMV) and JPEG.
*
Operating systems which can support the network file viewing function include
Windows
®
2000 Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional,
Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Vista
Business.
**
The VPL-DX15 may not fully support all the functions of these applications.
For example, fonts, graphics, and animation effects may not be reproduced
correctly. Transmission delays may occur when slides are turned over. These
delays may occur when a slide contains a very large photo or a number of
graphics, alternatively when a number of photos or graphics are used for the
slide design. For details, please contact your nearest Sony office or authorized
dealer.
Streaming Video Client Function
The VPL-DX15 provides a streaming video client function.
By installing Windows Media Encoder software*, the
operator can use any PC as the streaming video server.
This enables the VPL-DX15 to project streaming video
supplied by the PC**, simply by manipulating the
Remote Commander unit.
*
Windows Media Encoder software is available from the Microsoft Download Center.
**
The VPL-DX15 only accepts streaming video from PCs installed with Windows
Media Encoder.
Remote Maintenance
Projector settings such as power ON/OFF can be
controlled from a PC via a network. Projector status,
such as the projector lamp’s hours of usage, can also
be monitored from the PC via the network.
Status information and error reports can be sent to
designated recipients as an automatic e-mail
notification for proactive maintenance action.
Remote Desktop
*
When the VPL-DX15 is connected online, operators can
use the remote desktop function, which is supported by
major operating systems**. By manipulating a
keyboard and a mouse connected to the projector,
operators can remotely control a PC via a network.
*
To use the remote desktop function, a USB-based keyboard and a mouse must
be connected to the projector through a USB-based hub.
**
Operating systems which can support the remote desktop function include
Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Vista Business.
