SD memory cardWhat is the SD memory card (option)?The SD memory card is a semiconductor memory which at 24 mm x 32 mm
x 2.1 mm is about the size of a postage stamp. It is a next-generation
recording medium which can be used instead of conventional storage
devices such as MDs (mini discs), CDs (compact discs) and cassette tapes.
In addition, it allows data to be repeatedly recorded, played and erased. The
projector can be used to play computer image files, video images (still
pictures) and moving pictures using the SD memory card.Data that can be played backStill image data
BDCF compliant still image data (See page 64 for details on DCF
compliance.)
Moving image data
BMPEG4 movie data (audio: G.726 compliant)
However, only files in ASF format can be played back.Note when using SD memory cardsDo not turn off the projector’s power or remove an SD memory card from the
projector while the SD memory card is in use (while the access indicator is
flashing). (See page 42.) If this is not observed, corruption of the data on the
SD memory card may occur.
