Using EZ-Converter FA to Convert PowerPoint Files to ECA or

PtG Files

EZ-Converter FA is computer software for converting PowerPoint files to ECA files or PtG files, which

can be played back using the projector’s File Viewer. EZ-Converter FA supports conversion of files

created with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, 2007 and 2010.

Important!

z Before trying to use EZ-Converter FA, be sure to go to the CASIO website

(http://www.casio-intl.com/support/) and check the information there about minimum

computer system requirements, and conditions governing download and use.

z The procedure below assumes that you already have EZ-Converter FA installed on your

computer.

Note

z Save for certain exceptions (described below), playback and projection of an ECA file or PtG

file normally should be able to reproduce transitions, animations, and other special effects of

the original PowerPoint file.

z Starting a conversion operation with EZ-Converter FA will temporarily change the screen

settings of your computer as shown below. Screen settings will revert back to what they were

after the conversion operation is complete.

z The screen resolution of the ECA file or PtG file will be the resolution specified by the

EZ-Converter FA setting (800 × 600, 1024 × 768, 1280 × 768 or 1280 × 800) when the file

conversion operation starts. For information about configuring this setting, see “To specify the

screen resolution of the ECA file or PtG file” (page 41).

• Conversion of OLE objects (movies, audio, etc.) and VBA objects in a PowerPoint file is not

supported.

• Conversion of timer and repeat operations in a PowerPoint file animation is not supported.

• An animation in a PowerPoint file is converted up to the time specified by “To specify the

maximum animation display time” (page 41), and everything after that is cut. When the point

up to which the animation was converted is reached during playback of the converted file,

playback will pause, and you will have to press the [ENTER] key to advance to the next step.

• The source PowerPoint file plays when you convert a file with EZ-Converter FA. If there is no

change on the screen for about three consecutive seconds during this playback, say

between Points A and B, for example, the effect at Point B in the original file is ignored and

not converted. When Point B is reached during playback of the converted file, playback will

pause, and you will have to press the [ENTER] key to advance to the next step.
