The Viewer feature allows you to view slides or movie files stored on a USB memory on the projector, or a shared
folder in a computer connected to the network.
The VIEWER has the following features.
• Five graphic formats are supported: JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, and Index*¹
*¹: Index is a file format created using ArcSoft MediaImpression or Viewer PPT Converter 3.0 contained on the attached NEC

venient for holding presentations at meetings and in offices.
