Multiscreen Usage Examples
Example 1)
While projecting image data sent from your computer on a screen, you can also display 
the other image data such as a presenter script on your computer so that you can give a 
presentation without showing any image data which you do not wish to let other participants 
see.
●
6 Select the projector to transmit to.
A list of the names of the projectors you can 
use will appear. (If a projector’s name is not 
specified, its ID will be displayed instead.)
Check the checkbox of the projector you wish to 
transmit to from this list. And select the virtual 
display number that you wish to transmit to from 
the pull-down list in the Screen box. Then  icon marked with a number (corresponding to 
the screen number) is displayed on the selected projector’s screen for a few seconds. 
Up-to four projectors are available to select.
7 Click the  button.
When “Update automatically” is selected in step 3
Screen images are sent consecutively after the  button is clicked. Besides, the sound being played on a computer can be sent to the projector.

[When using 4 projectors]
 Notes
The figures shown here are illustrated as projectors are connected to a computer via 
wireless LAN, however, this also applies for the connection via wired LAN.
Note the characteristics such as  the brightness or the color tint of the projected image 
may vary depending on each projector. This is not a malfunction. 
•

 CAUTION
When  you  use  multiple  projectors  with  Multiscreen  feature,  make  sure  to  leave 
sufficient space (more than 70 cm) between projectors. If you set the projector near 
the air exhaust of the other projector, it may cause damage to other units due to heat.
* This  projector  is  unable  to  display  a  divided single image in large size by combining each display sent by multiple projectors.

 Notes
It may not be possible to transmit the images from a movie player or other video applications.
When  using “Update  automatically”,  the  transmitted  image  refresh  rate  depends  on  the 
performance of the computer you are using and the surrounding radio wave environment.
The projector screen may have a few differences from the computer screen.
The projector ID is the MAC address of the wired LAN inserted into the projector.
Playing contents protected by copyright is not supported.
To transmit sound, press the  button then launch the application that plays the contents 
including the sound. When you operate the projector using Windows Vista® or Windows® 7, 
“Switching audio play device” window may be displayed after pressing the start button 
of Network Utility. If this window is displayed, follow the instruction to switch the audio play 
device, and then launch the application that plays the contents including sounds.
If no sound can be heard from the computer though the connection is stopped, re-launch 
the application that plays the contents including the sound.
Transmission may not be conducted depending on the sound type.
Sound cannot be transmitted if multiple projectors are selected.
The audio signals transmitted by a computer become mono.
Network  Mouse  Controller  function  may  not  work  properly  depending  on  the  network 
condition.
If you make any changes in the screen display settings of the window without launching 
Network  Utility,  the  settings  you  made  will  be  erased  and  not  be  reflected  even  if  you 
check Switch to the last screen settings when using next time checkbox.
For  multiscreen  function,  the  images  on  the  computer’s  desktop  can  only  be  selected 
to  transmit  for  display.  Note  that  the  application  software  are  not  available  to  select  as 
transmission images.
