For your presentations, you can select front, rear, or ceiling projection. This provides maximum flexibility in choosing the best display method for each environment.

You can control your projector through a hand-held remote control unit, with menus provided for image source switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also act as a wireless mouse to control operations on your computer screen during presentations. Additionally, you can install the projector’s optional ELP Link III software to control the projector’s settings from your computer and reconfigure the projector’s special effects.

Your projector features a new patented SizeWize™ chip for supporting a variety of computer output resolutions. For example, if you have the PowerLite 5500C, the resize feature lets you display VGA or XGA images at the projector’s SVGA resolution. On the PowerLite 7500C, you can resize the image to display VGA, SVGA, or SXGA images at the projector’s XGA resolution. No matter what type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.

Your projector supports IBM® compatible PCs and laptops, as well as Apple Macintosh, Power Macintosh™, and PowerBook™ computers. The video source can be NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. The projector automatically senses the video format, which can be composite video or S-Video. See Chapter 7 for details on supported computers and video formats.
