Files that Can be Included in Scenarios
Any of the following file types can be merged into a single file to create a scenario.
Tip :

show menu are reflected in a scenario. 
 Fly Blinds   Box
 Checkerboard Dissolve   Random Bars
 Split Strips   Wipe
 Random Effects
Effects and animations other than those listed above can be placed using the Cut 
command. 
 In the event that the above image files are to be played back as file units, they need not 
be made into scenarios. Direct playback and projection with the CardPlayer function 
are possible if the file is saved to a memory card and the memory card is inserted into 
the projector.  p.30

EasyMP Operation Guide
Creating and Sending a Scenario
In this guide, a scenario refers to a combination of PowerPoint and graphics files 
arranged in a projection order and saved as a single file. Scenarios are created with 
EMP SlideMaker2. 
Using EMP SlideMaker2, it is possible to easily and efficiently prepare presentation 
material by extracting the necessary parts of files, and arranging them in order 
without editing the original files. The created scenario is sent to the memory card 
inserted in the computer. Insert the memory card in the card slot of the projector and 
project the scenario using the EasyMP CardPlayer mounted on the projector.

Creating a Scenario
Verify the following points before creating a scenario.
• The data that is combined to create a scenario, such as PowerPoint and 
graphics files, must be created in advance.
 Only file types listed on the previous page in Files that Can be Included in 
Scenarios can be used.
 Please note, scenarios created by EMP-8150/8150NL EMP Scenario and 
EMP-715/505 EMP SlideMaker cannot be opened in EMP SlideMaker2.
1Start Windows on the computer, then select Start - Programs (or, All 
Programs) - EMP SlideMaker2 - EMP SlideMaker2. 
EMP SlideMaker2 starts.
2Select File - New. 
This displays the scenario properties. 
3Enter each of the items on the following table, then click the OK button.

EasyMP Operation Guide
Tip :
Previously set content can be modified by File - Properties.
Scenario NameThis becomes the file name and scenario folder name of 
the created scenario. This must be entered. Up to eight 
capital letters and numbers can be entered. Keep this 
item and the scenario folder directory in the next item to 
within a maximum of 127 characters all told. 
Scenario FolderSpecify where to create the scenario folder to be used 
whilst creating the scenario. A scenario folder is created 
in the directory specified here.
Configure BGMClick to select to play background music during scenario 
playback. The audio file (WAVE format) selection 
screen is displayed if this is selected. On this screen, 
select the file to be used as the background music. 
After selecting the audio file, play the file by clicking 
the   button on the right. 
Stop playback by clicking the   button. 
Background 
ColorSelects the background for graphic data in the scenario.
Image QualityEMP SlideMaker2 changes each slide in a PowerPoint 
file to a JPEG file and saves it. Use this item to select the 
image quality to be used during conversion to JPEG 
files. 
A characteristic of JPEG files is that, when the 
compression ratio is high, image quality is worse than 
JPEG files of lower compression. However, highly 
compressed files are smaller, and take less time to 
project. 
Using this setup item, the compression ratio grows 
progressively higher going from Highest image 
quality to High Quality and Standard. Therefore, 
when Highest image quality is selected, a high-quality, 
large JPEG file is saved. When Standard is selected, 
the image quality is lower than for the other settings, but 
the JPEG file is smaller. 
If a JPEG file is included directly into a scenario, any of 
the above image quality settings will become invalid for 
that image, and the compression ratio of the original file 
is used.

EasyMP Operation Guide
After a file is included in a scenario using the above procedure, the animations 
set in PowerPoint are maintained. Therefore, the animations will operate 
effectively during projection of the scenario using CardPlayer. 
Include only the necessary slides whilst referring to thumbnails
1. Click the file icon in the Files window. 
2. Double-click the thumbnails to be included in the scenario. 
The desired slide is displayed in the Scenarios window. 
After a slide is included in a scenario using the above procedure, any 
animations set in PowerPoint are disabled. 
Slides using animation are displayed in the cell as .EMA in the Scenarios 
window. Slides without animation are displayed in the cell as .JPG in the 
Scenarios window. Clicking .EMA cells displays an Animation verification 
window for each animation operation. 
Tip :
Thumbnails cannot be displayed if PowerPoint is not installed on the computer. 
Although animations can be set in the Properties screen of EMP SlideMaker2, 
animations set in advance in PowerPoint will operate more smoothly when played in 
the scenario. To set animations in PowerPoint slides, we recommend it be set within 
PowerPoint. Use the Properties screen of EMP SlideMaker2, to include animation in a 
graphic, or to include animation in a slide in a scenario without maintaining the 
animation.  p.15 
The following PowerPoint animations can be used in a scenario. 
 Fly   Blinds   Box
 Checkerboard   Dissolve   Random Bars
 Split   Strips   Wi p e  
 Random Effects
Animations other than those above can be placed by the Cut command. 
5Finish the scenario by adding or deleting files and slides, or changing 
their order. 
The content displayed in the Scenarios window is projected from the beginning 
when projected by the CardPlayer in the projector. 
To add files and slides:
Drag-and-drop a file displayed in the Files window or a PowerPoint slide 
displayed in the Thumbnails window, to the desired location in the Scenarios 
window.
