Introduction - NEC GT5000 User Manual

x Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the NEC portable projector (here-
after referred to as "unit" or "projector").
This projector is connected to a personal computer or other equip-
ment and clearly projects text or graphics to a screen.
This projector is supplied with convenient software that allows
presentations to be made more simply and effectively. This guide
gives an overview and describes the use of the accompanying
software (contained in the CD-ROM that is supplied with this pro-
jector). Look over this guide in conjunction with the Help func-
tions of the software programs.
Contents of the Supplied CD-ROM
The supplied CD-ROM contains the following software programs:
• Dynamic Image Utility 2.0
• Viewer PPT Converter 2.0
• Image Express Utility 1.0
Please see the Help functions of the software programs for infor-
mation about their functions and operation.
What Can Be Accomplished with the Supplied Software
Dynamic Image Utility 2.0
• Converts PowerPoint files, JPEG images, and other files and cre-
ates slides that can be displayed with the viewer function of the
projector.
• Captures portions of the image from the screens of word processors,
spreadsheets, browsers, and other programs for use in presenta-
tions.
• By saving the created slides on a flash memory card (*1) and in-
serting the card into the PC Card slot of the projector, the slides
can be projected to the screen without connecting a personal com-
puter.
• The connection of personal computers and projectors by means of
a network environment (*2) or connection with USB cable (*3) or
serial cable allows the following uses. (In a network environment
or USB cable connection (*3) , support of multiple units is permit-
ted.)
(1) Images and slides can be sent from the personal computer to the
projector and then projected to the screen. When using Microsoft
PowerPoint 2000/2002, slides can be sent synchronized with the
slide show page feed.
(2) A personal computer can be used to switch the projector power
on/off, control the adjustment of image quality and other settings,
and to display the remaining lamp life.
Viewer PPT Converter 2.0
• Converts files created with Microsoft PowerPoint 95/97/2000/2002
to an independent index format with a simple operation to enable
direct playback with the viewer function of the projector.
• When using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002, Viewer PPT Con-
verter 2.0 can be started from PowerPoint (by means of add-in
registration to PowerPoint).
Image Express Utility 1.0
• Using a network environment (*2), this program enables the screen
image displayed by the personal computer to be sent to the projec-
tor and then projected to a screen.
• Two methods are available for sending the screen image to the
projector. "Continuous Transmit" automatically sends the screen
image of the personal computer at a fixed interval. "Single Frame
Transmit" sends the screen image by clicking the screen button (or
pressing a key).
6. Using the Projector in a Network
