About EasyMP Network Projection

This chapter describes useful functions for EasyMP Network Projection and how to install the software.

Functions of EasyMP Network Projection

You can use EasyMP Network Projection to project your computer screen
from the projector via a network. Sharing the projector over the network
allows you to project data from different computers without changing the
signal cable. Even if the projector is away from the computer, you can still
project data via a network.

Various Screen Transfer Functions

You can use the following screen transfer functions.

Multi-screen display
s "Using Multi-Screen Display" p.26
You can use up to four projectors to project a different image from one
computer. This allows you to project data such as a report on a landscape
screen.

Movie Sending Mode (supported models only)

s "Playing Movies" p.24
You can send movie files directly to a projector which allows movies to
be played smoothly.
Presentation Mode
s "Projecting Only a PowerPoint Slide Show (Presentation Mode)"
p.23
By using Presentation Mode, you can project only the PowerPoint Slide
Show running on your computer. A black screen is projected when the
Slide Show is not playing. You can start presentations smoothly without
projecting unnecessary images.
Distribution function
The screen being displayed by a computer can be simultaneously
displayed by up to four projectors on the same network.
You cannot connect multiple computers to one projector simultaneously.

Installing the Software

You can find EasyMP Network Projection on the EPSON Projector

Software CD-ROM. Install the software on the computer you are using.

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Subnet

You can connect the projector and the computer and project to screens at
remote locations (on different subnets).
In Automatic search, projectors on different subnets are not found because
searches are only performed on the same subnet.
You can use the following methods to connect to a projector on a different
subnet.
Specify either an IP address or projector name and perform a search.
The IP address can be input directly. Also, provided the projector name
to be connected has been registered on the DNS server, you can perform
a search simply by inputting that projector name.
s "Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name and Performing a
Search (Advanced Connection Mode Only)" p.17

17

Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name

and Performing a Search (Advanced Connection
Mode Only)
In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen
shots are used.
Similar screens are displayed on Mac OS X.

Click Manual search on the EasyMP Network Projection projector

selection screen.

Enter the IP address or the projector name for the projector you
want to connect to, and click OK.

Perform a search based on a Profile.

Once you have performed a search for a projector on a different subnet
by specifying either an IP address or a projector name, you can save the
search as a profile with an easy-to-remember name, and then use that
profile whenever you subsequently want to search for a projector on a
different subnet.
s "Performing a Search with a Profile" p.18

If you cannot find a projector, see the following section for the most
likely causes.
s "Troubleshooting" p.42
When you use Manual search in Quick Connection Mode, you can
specify the SSID. When there are a lot of projectors you can narrow
the search field by using SSID.

s "Making a Profile" p.18

Performing a Search with a Profile

You can save a search for a frequently used projector as a profile. A profile
is a file containing all of the information pertaining to a given projector,
such as the projector name, its IP address, and SSID. You can specify a
profile to search for a projector instead of specifying relevant details such as
the IP address and projector name. For example, by creating a group of
profiles for each place where a projector is setup and managing them with
folders, the target projector can be found quickly.

The Save in the profile screen is displayed.

Enter a Profile name, and then click Add.

This section explains how to create, edit, and manage a profile.

Making a Profile
Profiles are made by saving search results.
For details on how to edit a previously saved profile, see the following
section.

Projector information is registered in the profile.

If you have previously saved a profile, you are prompted to confirm
whether or not to overwrite. To save a profile with a different name,
select Save as. If you have created a folder for profiles, one of the

Various Projection Styles

This chapter explains the functions that may be useful in a meeting or presentation, such as the Multi-Screen Display which allows you to send images to
multiple projectors from a single computer.

Projecting Only a PowerPoint Slide Show (Presentation Mode)

By using Presentation Mode, you can project only the PowerPoint Slide
Show running on your computer. A black screen is projected when the
Slide Show is not playing. You can start presentations smoothly without
projecting unnecessary images.
In addition to PowerPoint, Keynote is compatible with Presentation Mode
for Mac OS X.
To set Presentation Mode to On or Off, click the
s "Using the Toolbar" p.14

button.

Using Multi-Screen Display

Multi-screen display mode allows you to project different images from
multiple projectors that are connected to a single computer.
With Windows, multiple virtual displayg drivers can be set in the
computer, and each image can be projected by the projector. This function
is not available with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
For Mac OS X, an external monitor needs to be connected to the computer
to enable this function. While the following explanation refers to virtual
display, for Mac OS X the operation relates to the screens displayed on the
physically connected monitor.

Arrangement example 1

Example of Adjusting the Virtual Display

In a Windows environment, if the virtual display driver has

been enabled so that the mouse pointer can be moved outside
the limits of the screen, there may be occasions when you lose
track of the location of the pointer. If you are not using a
virtual display, clear the virtual display checkbox on the AddRemove Virtual Display screen so that the mouse pointer moves
back inside the screen's display area. To subsequently use multidisplay again, place a check mark against the required display
under Add-Remove Virtual Display.
To clear a check mark, see the following.
s "Enable the virtual display driver (Windows only)" p.27

In a Windows environment, you cannot view the image being sent to

a virtual display on the computer. To adjust the image on the virtual
display, you must do so while viewing the projected image.
To perform mouse-based operations on the virtual display, move the
mouse pointer in the direction of the virtual display so that the
pointer appears on the virtual display.

To end projection for multi-screen display, click Disconnect on the

toolbar.
