Introduction

This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Projector Features

7

Convenient Equipment Designed for Ease of Use

Easy to handle

• Easy wall mounting

The projector is supplied with a dedicated slide plate that makes troublesome wall mounting easy.

The slide plate is integrated into the projector main unit, so mounting is easy and installation time has been reduced compared to previous models.

s

Installation Guide

You can also perform maintenance such as replacing the air filter and lamp simply while projector is mounted to a wall.

• No special screen required

Installation in a wide range of places is possible because you can project images onto a projection surface such as a wall if there is no projector screen.

• Short distance projection

At 47 cm, the recommended shortest projection distance allows you to place the projector close to the screen. s

p.118

If you mount the projector to a wall and project images from diagonally above, you can give your presentation without the shadow of anybody who stands up near the projection surface appearing in the images.

Furthermore, when your back is facing the screen, the projector light does not dazzle you because it does not interfere with your field of view.

• Pointing down projection is useful for group tutorials (EB-465i/

455Wi only)

By setting up the projector vertically, you can project down onto the surface of a table. s

p.20

• Direct power on/off

In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference room, you can set the projector to turn on or off when the main power source to which the projector is connected is switched on or off.

• Display of projection lines on the projection surface

The pattern function for projecting ruled lines or a grid enables effective use of the projection surface in lessons and presentations.

• Speaker

The incorporation of a high-output speaker allows your voice to reach the edges of the room even in spacious classrooms.

• Projection screen for WXGA (EB-455Wi/450W/440W only)

With a computer that has a 16:10 WXGA wide LCD display, the image can be projected in the same aspect. This allows you to effectively use the width of whiteboards and other landscape-oriented projection surfaces.

• Control the projector from a computer

You can use the Web Control function and Web Remote function to perform the same operations on a computer as with the projector's control panel or remote control. s

p.64
