Before Operation

Features

This unit is equipped with the network presentation and control function.

Any image of a computer, if it is connected to a LAN by wired or wireless connection, can be projected by connecting a network cable to the NETWORK connector (RJ45) of the projector.

Operations such as power on/off or input selection of the projector or confirmation of the situation of the projector such as lamp used time is possible far from the projector.

Easy installation

For using the network presentation function, install the application software, Projector Station for Air Shot Version 2, in the computer. The installation can be done easily in accordance with the instructions on the screen by using the supplied CD-ROM.

Speedy and high quality transportation/display

The image data is efficiently compressed so that a high-quality image can be transported speedily. An animation function can be used at a presentation by the transportation. (It is not suitable for a movie such as a DVD.)

Multiple connections

A maximum of 5 projectors can be connected to one computer without using a distributor and an image can be projected on the projectors at the same time.

Control by using Web browser

You can control the projector and confirm its setting.

Status check and system extension by network

Power on/off, input selection, confirmation, etc. of the projector can be done from the computer connected to LAN by wired or wireless connection. The network function also provides mail report function to notify

lamp replacement timing and error information to a previously-registered mail address. It also supports SNMP.

Number of picture elements of sending image

When an image is sent from the computer to the projector, it becomes a number of picture elements of XGA or WXGA (for VPL- CW125). When the resolution of the image sent from the computer is higher than XGA/ WXGA, the image projected on the projector will be degraded. To prevent this phenomenon, check [Set PC desktop to Projector resolution] of [Connection Setting] on [Option Setting] in the application software so that the PC desktop is automatically set to XGA/WXGA mode or set the resolution on the computer to XGA/WXGA.

In VPL-CW125, the image is shown by WXGA when the resolution of the computer is 1280 × 768 to 1360 × 768. When the resolution of the computer is WXGA, black bands are added to the top and bottom of the window in VPL-CX86/CX76/FE40/FX40/ CX155/CX125. On the other hand, the image is shown almost fully in the window size in VPL-CW125. (Sometimes black bands are added to the top and bottom or left and right of the window in WXGA according to the minimal difference between the resolutions of the computer and the projector.)

If you use VPL-CW125 and if your computer cannot output the resolution of WXGA, delete the check from [Set PC desktop to Projector resolution]. When it is checked, ProjectorStation for AirShot Version2 outputs the image without changing the resolution if the resolution of the computer is 1280 × 768 to 1360 × 768. If the resolution of the computer is other than these values, it outputs the image by changing the resolution to 1280 × 768. In this case, if the resolution cannot be changed due to the display driver of the computer, it works as [Set PC desktop to Projector resolution] is not checked.

When you connect two or more projectors to the computer, the resolution of the second or subsequent projector will be the same as the
