About Projector Toolset
Projector Toolset is a software tool to set up, configure, manage and control Barco projectors.
The concept of this Projector Toolset software is modular. The basic package can be extended with several optional device plug-in
modules, now and in the future available.
The Projector Toolset software works with configurations that can be loaded. Within a configuration, different snapshots can be
taken. A snapshot represents a current state of a configuration and can be reloaded to return to this typical state. These terms will
be used through the complete software.
Projector Toolset is a stand-alone application that runs on a Java Virtual Machine and that does not require extra services to run.
Several configurations can be controlled simultaneously. Even when the configurations are connected via different ways.
Projector Toolset is only available in a download version, no CD can be ordered.
