Introduction to the Epson iProjection Software See the information here to learn more about the Epson iProjection software. Epson iProjection Features Epson iProjection Features The Epson iProjection software is an application that allows you to hold interactive meetings or lessons by projecting images from network projectors. You can use a variety of display options for your environment.
You can also hold remote meetings over a network by simultaneously projecting the same image on up to four projectors on the network. Parent topic: Epson iProjection Features Related tasks Connecting to Multiple Projectors (Mirroring) Related topics Connection Methods Four-Panel Display You can simultaneously display up to four screens in separate projected panels, which is useful in both business and educational environments.
For example, you can compare and analyze data while simultaneously projecting screens from multiple devices. In an educational environment, you can project lesson material on one part of the screen and student answers on another to enhance the learning experience.
You can share the projector with other users on the same network without having to change cable connections, allowing users to take turns giving presentations. Note: The projection control screen is available only on the Standard Edition of the software.
