This function serves to store the adjusted value when using the Shift, Focus, and
Zoom buttons of the projector or the remote control.
Reference memory:
Reference  Point ....... Adjusted settings are stored in memory as a reference com-
mon to all the input sources. If no setting is stored in Cus-
tom Point, the adjusted settings in Reference Point will be
applied.
Custom memory:
Custom Point ........... Adjusted settings are stored in memory for each input sig-
nal.
Usage Example
When you wish to display on a screen having a 4:3 aspect ratio an NTSC or other
4:3 aspect ratio signal and an SXGA or other 5:4 aspect ratio signal:
Perform shift, focus, and zoom adjustments to set the vertical screen size of the
vertically tall 5:4 aspect ratio signal to standard.
Both 4:3 apsect ratio signals and 5:4 aspect ratio signals can now be displayed.
Note that with these shift, focus, and zoom adjustments, the 4:3 aspect ratio signal
will become smaller on the screen.
To eliminate this size reduction, adjust the shift, focus and zoom to the optimum
condition for each of the 4:3 aspect ratio signal and the 5:4 aspect ratio signal.
Memory (storage) of each of these values will permit projection at an optimum con-
dition upon signal switching.
1. Perform Zoom, Focus and Lens Shift adjustments and store them in memory
using “Set Custom Point”.
Another way to store your adjustments is to use the CTL and INFO buttons on
the remote control.
2. When “Yes” is selected for “Use Point on Signal Change”, the adjustment is ap-
plied to the signal you switched.
3. Select “OK” and press the ENTER button for the change to take effect.
NOTE: The Lens Memory function is not available in Link mode.
NOTE: The other optional lenses than GT10RLB, GT13ZLB, GT20ZL, GT24ZLB and GT34ZLB do not support
Lens Memory function. (On GT10RLB focus can be stored in memory)
You cannot store settings for zoom and focus on the following lenses:
GT13ZL, GT19ZL, GT24ZL and GT34ZL.
Picture Mute during Lens Shift?
To turn off the image and sound during lens shift, select Yes.
NOTE: This option is only available when Yes is selected for Use Point on Signal Change?.

z 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 Conver ter 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 cre-
ates 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 presenta-
tions.
•By saving the created slides on a flash memory card (*1) and in-
ser ting the card into the PC Card slot of the projector, the slides
can be projected to the screen without connecting a personal com-
puter.
•The connection of personal computers and projectors by means of
a network environment (*2) or connection with USB cable or serial
cable allows the following uses. (In a network environment or USB
cable connection, 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 Con-
verter 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 projec-
tor 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.
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).

The Easy Connection option is a mode that can abbreviate the
troublesome LAN settings when using the Image Express Utility
and connecting the PC and projector via a wireless LAN.
•From the Advanced menu, select [Projector Options] → [LAN Mode] →
[Status] → [Advanced] → [Network Type] → [Mode] → [Easy Connec-
tion] on the projector. (No setting for IP address, SSID and channel are
required.)
•After you have installed the software from the supplied CD-ROM to
your PC, before executing Easy Connection using Image Express Util-
ity, 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 Win-
dows 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.
