When using a wireless LAN PC Card, please confirm the safety regulations in each area.
The VPL-PX15 is the first of Sony projectors to include a
wireless Peer to Peer (Ad-hoc) networking capability.
Where a network environment is not provided, this
technology enables a wireless Peer to Peer network to be
set up using a wireless LAN PC Card
*
. This revolutionary
application means that users can come to a meeting, set up
a Peer to Peer network with their PCs and the projector,
and run their presentations by communicating with and
transferring data to the VPL-PX15. By doing away with the
problem of cable connections between PC and projector,
this development makes an important contribution to the
smooth running of presentations and avoids the trouble of
LAN Connection
In offices with a network environment, the VPL-PX15
projector can connect to this LAN via a built-in 10Base-T/
100Base-TX interface and then communicate with any PC
on the LAN. The projector can also access the Internet
directly using the pre-installed web-browser. A wireless
infrastructure can also be provided with the use of a
wireless LAN PC Card and an access point

PC-less Presentations with Projector
Alternatively, it is not even necessary to use a PC to give
presentations. When the projector is connected to the
network, files shared in that network can be retrieved and
opened for projection by using only the supplied remote
control unit. Also with sufficient memory storage to save
presentation files internally, presentation files can be saved
in the projector prior to the meetings and then be
projected off-line using the remote control unit.
PC Card presentations are
possible as well. Presentation
files can be directly projected
by inserting the PC Memory
Card into the PC Card slot.
Application Software for
Presentation Control
The VPL-PX15 is provided with Sony original Presentation
Viewer, Image Viewer and File Manager application software.
The Presentation Viewer enables users to prepare and run
PowerPoint (PPT, PPS) and Excel (XLS) presentation files,
while the Image Viewer makes JPEG/GIF/BMP/PNG
presentations possible. Presentation files in the projector
memory can also be added or deleted using the File Manager.
