format”, as shown in the image below.

6.
A message will appear asking if you would like to save all slides as JPEG’s
7.
Once you have selected “Yes”, The JPEG images will be saved and are ready to use.

Options 2 (for presentations with animation):
You can convert the PowerPoint presentation to a MPEG video clip. For the best display
quality you should use the MPEG2 format which gives the best display quality. We suggest
that you use the following software:

Select Video Format: PowerPoint to MPEG2 Video Settings:
• TV Standard: NTSC (29.97fbs);

• Encode Size: Width 720, Height 480.

My media file does not fit properly on the screen
This has happened because the file does not have a 16:9 aspect ratio (1920x1080). Please resize file
to 1920x1080 pixels and try uploading the media onto the display once again.
