Network Presentations
When the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
projectors are installed on a LAN, presentations
can be projected from any PC on that network*
—
whether connected via a LAN cable or wirelessly.
Switching from presenter to presenter is as easy as
clicking a mouse
—
there’s no fussing with cables.
*
Requires supplied application software to be installed on your PC.
High-Speed Image Transfer over IP
Networks
Because the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
projectors employ effi cient compression and
transmission techniques, they can receive and
project images via IP networks for effective
presentations from any networked PC.
In fact, they can even handle animated Microsoft
®
PowerPoint
®
presentations.
Network Presentations Using Up To Five
Projectors
Up to fi ve VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 or VPL-FX40
projectors can be connected to a network, with
the image from a single PC projected on each of
them. This feature is ideal for both large venues
and multiple rooms in which images have to be
projected from various locations.
Network Presentations Almost Anywhere
By manually registering your PC’s IP address to the
VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors, images
can be projected not only across the country, but
across the globe. This is ideal for applications such
as distance learning and long-distance corporate
