❷ Projecting Images or Videos from the Projector over a LAN 
(Image Express Utility 2.0)
What you can do with Image Express Utility 2.0
•	 Using	Image	Express	 Utility	2.0	allows	 you	to	send	 the	screens	 of	your	 computers	 to	the	 projector	 via	wired/wire-
less	LAN.
	 The	 projected	 images	can	be	sent	 from	 a	computer	 to	not	 only	 one	projector	 but	also	 to	two	 or	more	 projectors	 at	
the	same	time.
	 When	“Meeting	Mode” 	is	used,	projected	images	can	be	sent	and	received	between	two	or	more	computers.
•	 High-speed, 	high-quality	image	transmissions	based	on	NEC’s	original	compression	algorithm
	 NEC’s	original	compression	 algorithm	allows	high-quality	 images	to	be	 sent	 over	 the	network	 at	high	 speed,	 from	
your	computer	to	the	projector.
•	 Simultaneous	projection	by	multiple	projectors
	 Images	 can	be	sent	 from	 a	computer	 to	not	 only	 one	projector	 but	also	 to	two	 or	more	 projectors	 at	the	 same	
time.
•	 “Easy	Connection” 	function	for	connecting	wireless	LAN
	 By	using	“Easy	Connection” 	function*1,	the	complicated	setting	of	wireless	LAN	can	be	simplified.
*1	 This	function	 can	be	used	 when	 Windows	 XP	is	used	 as	the	 OS	 and	 when	 you	have	 a	“Computer	 Adminis-
trator”	privilege. 	If	 the	 OS	 is	Windows	 7/Windows	 Vista,	input	of	logon	 password	 as	“Administrator” 	may	 be	
prompted.
