You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can permanently mount it on a ceiling*1, or you can use MultiSync MT1020/MT820 LCD Projector to project images from behind the screen. The remote

control can be used wirelessly or with a cable, and you can even use the remote control with the remote mouse receiver to operate the mouse on your PC or Mac.
