Split-Screen Display With Non-Network Sources Split-screen display combining images transferred over a network with other input signals (HDMI, digital or analog computer, or component signals) is supported. Network input cannot be combined with USB input for split-screen display. When a session includes projectors or computers running NMPJ V1.0, nothing is projected on the screen for the network source, because no signal is received. Network sources can be used for both sides of split-screen display.
Tips for Better Networked Projection ■ Avoid Exceeding Connection Limits The maximum number of computers and projectors that can be connected varies by mode. When this limit would be exceeded, it is not possible to add computers or projectors to a session. Thus, if the total number of computer users requesting to join a session at the same time would exceed the limit, their requests may be denied. In this case, an error message is displayed on the computers that could not join the session.
Restrictions ■ Router Connections Although the software can also link computers and projectors over a network via a router, operation is only ensured over one router hop. Note that before projecting from projectors in other subnets in Broadcast Mode, you must configure the router’s multicast routing settings. For details, ask your network administrator. ■ Security Dialog Box Projection The software cannot be used to project the Windows Security dialog box, normally accessed by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Restrictions ■ Sound • A valid playback device (default device) is required when the software starts up. If no such device is found, no sound will be produced. • Sound may skip, or audio and video playback may be out of sync in some cases, due to computer settings or performance, or network conditions. • In the following cases, no sound will be produced. To restore audio output, you must restart the software.
