MERCURY HD
1 Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Digital Projection portable
projector (hereafter referred to as unit or projector).
This projector is connected to a personal computer or other equip-
ment and clearly projects text or graphics to a screen.
This projector is supplied with convenient software that allows
presentations to be made more simply and effectively. This guide
gives an overview and describes the use of the accompanying
software (contained in the CD-ROM that is supplied with this pro-
jector). Look over this guide in conjunction with the Help func-
tions of the software programs.
Contents of the Supplied CD-ROM
The supplied CD-ROM contains the following software programs:
• Dynamic Image Utility 2.0
• Viewer PPT Converter 2.0
• Image Express Utility 1.0
Please see the Help functions of the software programs for infor-
mation about their functions and operation.
What Can Be Accomplished with the Supplied
Software
Dynamic Image Utility 2.0
• Converts PowerPoint files, JPEG images, and other files and
creates slides that can be displayed with the viewer function of
the projector.
• Captures portions of the image from the screens of word
processors, spreadsheets, browsers, and other programs for
use in presentations.
• By saving the created slides on a flash memory card (*1) and
inserting the card into the PC Card slot of the projector, the
slides can be projected to the screen without connecting a
personal computer.
• The connection of personal computers and projectors by means
of a network environment (*2) or connection with USB cable (*3)
or serial cable allows the following uses. (In a network
environment or USB cable connection (*3) , support of multiple
units is permitted.)
(1) Images and slides can be sent from the personal computer to the
projector and then projected to the screen. When using
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002, slides can be sent
synchronized with the slide show page feed.
(2) A personal computer can be used to switch the projector power
on/off, control the adjustment of image quality and other
settings, and to display the remaining lamp life.
Viewer PPT Converter 2.0• Converts files created with Microsoft PowerPoint 95/97/2000/
2002 to an independent index format with a simple operation to
enable direct playback with the viewer function of the projector.
• When using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002, Viewer PPT
Converter 2.0 can be started from PowerPoint (by means of add-
in registration to PowerPoint).
Image Express Utility 1.0• Using a network environment (*2), this program enables the
screen image displayed by the personal computer to be sent to
the projector and then projected to a screen.
• Two methods are available for sending the screen image to the
projector. Continuous Transmit automatically sends the screen
image of the personal computer at a fixed interval. Single Frame
Transmit sends the screen image by clicking the screen button
(or pressing a key).
*1: Please purchase a commercially available PCMCIA Type 2 (ATA
specification) flash memory card.
*2: Please check the network environment on the next page.
*3: USB cable connection is not supported by the LT260/LT240/
LT 2 2 0 .
Information about Upgrading this Software
Please see the service page for Digital Projection projectors on
the Digital Projection web site for information about software up-
grades of Digital Projection Projector User Supportware (i.e., Dy-
namic Image Utility, Viewer PPT Converter, and Image Express
Utility).
Projector Easy Connection Settings

• After you have installed the software from the supplied CD-ROM to
your PC, before executing Easy Connection using Image Express
Utility, visit our website to update the information about Image
Express Utility and its related software.
Software can be downloaded from our website at no charge.
• Easy Connection is available on Windows 2000 Professional,
Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition (not
available on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition [with Image Express
Utility 1.0 version 1.01.0003]).
• Easy Connection is available only when both PC and projector use
the Digital Projection optional wireless cards.
• Easy Connection is not available on Dynamic Image Utility included
on the supplied CD-ROM.

(2) MS-DOS screens
(3) Microsoft Office assistant
(4) IME
(5) Moving pictures
 Operation of this projector software becomes unstable. (DIU 2.0, IEU 1.0)
Check PointsCountermeasures
When the network settings of the projector or personal
computer are changed while this projector software (i.e.,
Dynamic Image Utility 2.0 or Image Express Utility 1.0) is
starting or running, the operation of the projector software may
become unstable.Please restart the projector and the personal computer. When
changes are to be made to the network settings, exit the

(15 bit) or higher. 
						

							6-9 Digital Projection   
MERCURY HD6. Using the Projector in a Network
 The projector cannot be found with General search. (IEU 1.0)
Check PointsCountermeasures
Are the wireless LAN settings appropriate?
Are the channel numbers for the personal computer and the
projector set to the same number?
When WEP (encryption) has been set, has the same value been
set for both the personal computer and the projector?Please check the access points, the personal computer setting
values and the projector [LAN Mode] setting values.
When using the infrastructure or 802.11 Ad Hoc, please set to
the same character string since SSID distinguishes between
upper and lower case characters.
Are radio communication conditions satisfactory?Check whether there are obstacles located between the
access point and the personal computer. Try moving the
personal computer closer to the access point.
Are the TCP/IP settings (e.g., IP address, sub net mask, etc.) of
the personal computer and the projector correct?Check whether the network settings are within the same
segment.
Are more than one network interface cards (NIC) being used
with the same computer?Set only the network interface card (NIC) that is connected
to the projector to Valid.
For a network card that is not connected to the projector, click
the network card name under Control Panel 
→ System →
Device Manager → Network Adapter and then click
[Properties (R)] and set the device usage to Not used.
 Sometimes it takes a long time for screen transmission from the personal computer to
the projector. (IEU 1.0)
Check PointsCountermeasures
• Transmission time may be long depending on the image
pattern.
• When screens are sent to multiple projectors simultaneously,
a larger number of projectors will result in longer transmission
times.
• The transmission time may vary depending on the network
environment.
• The transmission time may vary depending on the perfor-
mance of the personal computer as well as other application
software that is running at the same time.
Transmission time will be longer when the resolution of the
personal computer and that of the projector differ since there
will be an increase in resolution conversion processing.We recommend that the resolution of the personal computer
and that of the projector be set to the same setting value.
The resolution of this projector is 1280 x 720 dots.
Select the resolution to 1280 x 720 on your PC for sending
an image to 
the projector.
 Cannot follow the screen switching processing of the PowerPoint slide show, etc. (IEU 1.0)
Check PointsCountermeasures
Smooth screen switching processing or animation effects
cannot be followed because in Image Express Utility 1.0, the
screen condition of the personal computer is sent to the
projector at a fixed time interval.Use the software with  the PowerPoint screen switching
effects, animation effects, and other settings set to None.
