How to Use Your Projector

Using Multimedia Projector Remote Controls Today many multimedia projector companies have developed projector remotes that allow you to integrate all of your audiovisual controls into one remote control. Whether it's running a corporate video, highlighting a key point in a PowerPoint presentation or turning up the sound volume, you may very well need only one remote control. Below are typical features you may find in today's multimedia projector remote controls. Source This feature allows you to switch input sources on the fly. For example, if you were giving a PowerPoint presentation and wanted to show a video clip to highlight a main point, you would need to "switch the source". Using a new remote control, you could simply push the source button on your remote to switch from the computer source to the video source automatically. Special Effects Most projectors, such as the Epson Powerlite Series, allow you to use special effects in PowerPoint presentations. For example, you can highlight a main point on the fly with a simple click of a button. You can pre-program your remote control with the desired special effects you want to use. It's that easy! Mouse There is no need to stand next to your computer and use your mouse to click through slides in a presentation. Most remote controls come with a built-in mouse that allows you to control your computer from anywhere in the room. Projector Controls All remote controls should allow you to make some adjustments to the projector. Whether it's changing the volume, correcting the focus, or adjusting the sync, you probably don't have to go to the front of the room and fiddle with the projector. Bonus Tip! Always carry at least one set of extra batteries for your remote control in your projector carrying case.
