❸ Operating the Projector Via the LAN (Virtual Remote Tool)
This	will	help	you	perform	operations	such	as	projector’s	pow er	on	or	off	and	signal	selection	via	a	LAN	connection.	It	
is	also	used	to	send	an	image	to	the	projector	and	register	it	as	the	logo	data	of	the	projector.	After	registering	it,	you	
can	lock	the	logo	to	prevent	it	from	changing.
Control Functions
Power	On/Off,	signal	selection,	picture	freeze,	picture	mute ,	audio	mute ,	Logo	transf er	to	the	projector,	and	remote	
control	operation	on	your	PC.

For	information	on	how	to	use	Virtual	Remote	Tool,	see	Help	of	Virtual	Remote	Tool.	(→	page	166)
NOTE:
•	 Logo	data	(graphics)	that	can	be	sent	to	the	projector	with	Virtual	Remote	Tool	has	the	following	restrictions:
	 (Only	via	serial	or	LAN	connection)
*	 File	size:	Within	256	kilobytes
*	 Image	size:	Within	the	resolution	of	the	projector
*	 File	format:	PNG	(Full	color)
•	 Logo	data	(image)	sent	using	the	Virtual	Remote	Tool	will	be	displayed	in	the	center	with	the	surrounding	area	in	black.
•	 To	put	the	default	“NEC	logo”	back	in	the	background	logo,	you	need	to	register	it	as	the	background	logo	by	using	the	image	file	
(\Logo\NEC_logo2015_1920x1200.png)	included	on	the	supplied	NEC	Projector	CD-ROM.

❶ Throw distance and screen size
This	projector	can	be	used	with	8	kinds	of	optional	lenses	(sold	separately).	Refer	to	the	information	on	this	page	and	
use	a	lens	suited	for	the	installation	environment	(screen	size	and	throw	distance).	For	instructions	on	mounting	the	
lens,	see	page	141.

“H”	(Horizontal)	refers	to	the	screen	width.
*	Figures	differ	by	several	%	with	the	table	above	because	the	calculation	is	approximate.
Ex.:	Throw	distance	when	projecting	on	a	150"	screen	using	the	NP18ZL	lens:
According	to	the	“Screen	Size	(for	reference)”	table	(→ page 173),	H	(screen	width)	=	127.2"/323.1	cm.
The	throw	distance	is	323.1	cm	×	1.7	to	323.1	cm	×	2.3	=	549.3	cm	to	743.13	cm	(because	of	the	zoom	lens).
