Remote Desktop
*
When the VPL-MX25 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.
Streaming Video Client Function
The VPL-MX25 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-MX25 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-MX25 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.
“PC-less” Presentation Using a USB Memory
Device
By attaching a USB memory device*, such as the Sony
Micro Vault
®
Series, to the VPL-MX25 USB connector, the
operator can directly project data files stored on the USB
memory device – no need to convert them in advance
to other file formats, such as a JPEG format.
This is a very smart and convenient feature, as road
warriors no longer need to carry a PC to their
presentations.
Supported file formats for this function include Microsoft
PowerPoint **, Excel**, WMV and JPEG.
*
For available models, please contact your nearest Sony office or authorized
dealer.
**
The VPL-MX25 may not fully support all the functions of these applications.
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.
