Introduction to the Epson iProjection Software See the information here to learn more about the Epson iProjection software. Epson iProjection Features

Epson iProjection Features The Epson iProjection software is an application that allows you to hold interactive meetings or lessons by projecting images from network projectors. You can use a variety of display options for your environment. Connection to Various Devices Four-Panel Display Change Presenters and Projection Position Moderator Function Screen Delivery and Thumbnail Display Function Easy Network Projection Using a USB Flash Drive (Windows Only) Parent topic: Introduction to the Epson iProjection Software

Connection to Various Devices You can connect up to 50 devices to a projector simultaneously, such as computers, smartphones and tablets using the Epson iProjection software. (Up to four devices can project at one time.)

8

You can also hold remote meetings over a network by simultaneously projecting the same image on up to four projectors on the network.

Parent topic: Epson iProjection Features Related tasks Connecting to Multiple Projectors (Mirroring) Related topics Connection Methods

Four-Panel Display You can simultaneously display up to four screens in separate projected panels, which is useful in both business and educational environments.

9

For example, you can compare and analyze data while simultaneously projecting screens from multiple devices. In an educational environment, you can project lesson material on one part of the screen and student answers on another to enhance the learning experience.

Parent topic: Epson iProjection Features Related tasks Changing the Number of Projected Panels

Change Presenters and Projection Position Using the Epson iProjection software, you can easily change the screen being projected and the projection position by simply dragging and dropping user names in panels on the projection control screen.

10

You can share the projector with other users on the same network without having to change cable connections, allowing users to take turns giving presentations.

Note: The projection control screen is available only on the Standard Edition of the software.

Parent topic: Epson iProjection Features Related tasks Changing the Presenter Changing the Projection Position

Moderator Function When using the moderator function, only one person plays a role of moderator who can control the projected display. This function is suitable for meetings in which one user is the moderator and the other users are participants, and the moderator must control the projected display. This can also be useful in a classroom environment where the moderator must control the lesson without interruption.

11

Note: This function is available only for supported models.

Parent topic: Epson iProjection Features Related tasks Changing the Moderator Related topics Connection Methods

Screen Delivery and Thumbnail Display Function You can distribute the currently projected screen images to the participant's devices. The participants can then add notes to the received images using drawing software, which the moderator can check as

12

thumbnails. This feature is suitable for environments where the moderator wants to provide questions for the participants to answer, and then select which answers or ideas to project in response.

Note: This function is available only for supported models.

Parent topic: Epson iProjection Features Related tasks Distributing the Projected Screen Selecting the Participant's Screen to Project Using Thumbnails

Easy Network Projection Using a USB Flash Drive (Windows Only) You can use a commercially available USB flash drive as a USB key to transfer the projector's network information to a Windows computer. Creating the USB key allows you to quickly project images from the network projector.

13

When you change the presenter, you can switch the projected screen by inserting the USB key to a new presenter's computer.

Note: This function is available only for supported models. See your projector User's Guide for more details. You cannot use the USB key as a projector's wireless LAN module.

Recommended Wireless Environment for Multi PC Projection When you connect multiple devices to a projector using the Quick connection mode, we recommend limiting the number of devices to six or less to maintain the projection performance. The number of devices that can connect to a projector at the same time differs depending on the wireless communication environment. When you connect a projector to a wireless LAN and connect multiple devices wirelessly using the Advanced connection mode, note the following recommendations. Set up multiple access points so that one of the access points can connect up to 10 or 20 devices. See

the access point manual for more information on the maximum number of devices that can be connected.

When you use multiple access points, assign a different channel to each access point, and use different access points for the projector connection and the computer connection.

Use a wireless LAN controller, if possible, to enhance the connection stability. Use an access point that supports 802.11n. Contact your network administrator for help in setting up the wireless environment.

Note: If your projector supports a wired LAN connection, we recommend using a wired LAN connection when you connect multiple devices to the projector.
