Example 3) Sending images from a single computer to multiple projectors (up to four projectors), a larger image can be achieved by combining those images. Note The examples 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 that the brightness or the color tint of the projected image may vary depending on each projector. This is an optical characteristic and not a malfunction. (Please adjust with the Image adjustment menu.) CAUTION When you use multiple projectors for Multiscreen feature, make sure to leave suf cient space (more than OOcm) 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.
