Instant Stack Guide
Thank you for purchasing this product.
Features
This projector can be used in conjunction with another projector (same model) to
project an image on the same screen using the Instant Stack feature.
The two projectors can be used simultaneously to make the image brighter. In
addition, if you connect two projectors with RS-232 null modem cable, it becomes
an intelligent stacking system. The two projectors can work alternately and once
one malfunctions, the other projector will automatically start working to keep your
presentation going.
These features, generically called Instant Stack, provide you with many uses.
