This projector can be used in a network of projectors managed from a single PC with the accompanied Sharp
Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition. Projectors in conference rooms on the first and third floors
of a building, for example, can be used for video presentations, while projectors on the second floor can be used
for PC-assisted presentations. Projectors can even be powered down at different times (e.g., projectors on the first
and second floors are powered down in one hour, while those on the third floor are powered down in two hours).
