3. Convenient Features
 Projecting an Image from an Angle (Geometric Correction 
Tool in Image Express Utility Lite)
 
The	Geometric	 Correction	Tool	(GCT)	 function	 allows	you	to	correct	 distortion	 of	images	 projected	 even	from	an	
angle. 	
What you can do with GCT
•	 The	GCT	feature	includes	the	following	three	functions
•	4-point	 Correction:	You 	can 	fit 	a 	projected 	image 	within 	the 	border 	of 	the 	screen 	easily 	by 	align 	the 	four 	corners	
of	an	image	to	the	ones	of	the	screen.
•	Multi-point	 Correction:	You	 can	correct	 a	distorted	 image	on	the	 corner	 of	a	wall	 or	irregular	 shaped	screen	
by	using	many	separated	screens	to	correct	the	image	as	well	as	4-point	Correction.
•	Parameters Correction:	You	 can	correct	 a	distorted	 image	by	using	 a	combination	 of	transformational	 rules	
prepared	in	advance.
This	section	will	show	an	example	for	use	with	4-point	Correction.
For	information	 about	“Multi-point	 Correction”	and	 “Parameters	 Correction”,	see	the	help	 file	of	Image	 Express	
Utility	Lite. 	(→	page	58, 60)	
•	 Your	correction	data	can	be	stored	in	the	projector	or	your	computer	which	can	be	restored	when	necessary.
•	 The	GCT	function	is	available	with	a	USB	cable,	wired	or	wireless	LAN	connection,	and	video	cable. 	
Projecting an Image from an Angle (GCT)
This	section	 will	show	 an	example	 for	use	 with	 USB	 Display	 (using	a	USB	 cable	 to	connect	 a	computer	 and	the	pro-
jector).
•	 The	USB	Display	function	will	automatically	display	the	control	window	
•	 For	 a	video	 cable	or	LAN	 connection,	 install	and	start	 Image	 Express	 Utility	Lite	in	your	 computer	 beforehand. 	(→

the mouse cursor is.
5. Repeat Step 3 and 4 to correct the distortion of the projected image.
6.  After completing, right-click the mouse.
