Remote Projector

A network projector is a video projector that's connected to a wireless or wired local area network (LAN). What sets the network projector apart from other presentation methods is that you can connect to, and operate the projector remotely over, a network connection. If your computer can connect to the projector, you can deliver a presentation from any location that has network access, whether it's your private office or a conference room where the projector is located. Those who want to view your presentation must be in the same room as the projector; they can't view the presentation over the network from a different location.

To start, connect to the projector by using one of the following methods:

1. Open the Connect to a Network Projector Wizard by clicking the Start button, clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking Connect to a Network Projector.
2. Then do one of the following:
   1. Click the search for a projector (recommended option). Click the projector you want to connect to and click the Connect button.
   2. Click Enter the projector network address and enter the address as a URL (a web address, such as http://server/projectors/ projector_1) or as a UNC path (a path on a server, such as \\server\projectors\projector_1) and the appropriate password.
3. After you're connected, you can control your presentation in the Network Presentation dialog box by clicking Pause, Resume, or Disconnect.

Note: Network projectors are designed to transmit and display still images, such as photographs and Microsoft Office PowerPoint slides-not high-bandwidth transmissions, such as video streams. The projector can transmit video, but the playback quality is often poor.
