Introduction

compact, lightweight EPSON” ELP-3000 Projector allows you to project

computer images and video onto a large screen for full-color presentations. The

projector can connect simultaneously to two image sources; one can be your PC

or Apple” Macintosh’ computer and the other can be a video source, such as a

VCR, camcorder, digital camera, or laser disk player. Audio can be supplied with

one or both image sources.

Images are displayed in up to 16 million colors at a resolution of 640 x 480

pixels. The projector’s 250-lumen bulb produces bright images that can be easily

seen in rooms light enough to take notes. You can play audio on the projector’s

internal speakers or route it to an external speaker for amplification. You control

the projector through a hand-held remote control, which allows you to switch

between image sources and make adjustments to the projected image.

The projector supports any computer capable of VGA output, including IBM

compatible PCs and laptops and Apple Macintosh computers, including the

PowerBook™ and Power Macintosh.” The video source can be NTSC, PAL,

and SECAM in composite video or S-Video format.

Getting the Most Out of Your Projector

The projector comes with a full set of features that allow you to control the

settings for the image display, video, and audio. To get the most out of your

projector, read this section for a quick summary of the important features.

Remote control

The buttons on the remote control allow you to directly change the volume,

control the brightness, or switch from one image source to the other. Additional

adjustments can be made by using the buttons on the remote control to access

the projector’s menu system.

The menus, which you can superimpose on the projector image or display on

your computer screen, allow you to do the following:

Control the brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and position of the image.

Adjust the volume, balance, treble, and bass settings.

Adjust the display by rotating or inverting it.

Additional settings are described in Chapter 3.

You can also use the remote control to control your computer if you install the

Serial Communication Kit.

Introduction

Serial Communication Kit

The Serial Communication Kit allows your computer and projector to communi-

cate over an RS-232C connection. The kit includes an RS-232C serial cable and

two software utilities: ELP Link and ELP Remote Programmer.

ELP Link allows you to make adjustments to the projector from your computer.

The same controls that are available on your remote control, including the

ability to access the projector menus, are available from the main ELP Link

screen.

The ELP Remote Programmer allows you to use the remote control to control

your computer. The trackball moves the mouse on your computer monitor, and

five buttons on the remote control can be programmed to drag or click

windows and icons or perform the same functions as keys on your keyboard.

For information on using ELP Link, see Chapters 2 and 3. For information on the

ELP Remote Programmer, see Chapter 4.

Standby mode

Standby mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp if the

projector has not been used for a specified period of time (the default is

minutes). In standby mode, the projector remains on but the lamp is turned

off. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp.

Use the Standby button on the remote control to turn standby mode on or off.
