Message Broadcasting 1

Message Broadcasting

Message Broadcasting is a plug-in for EasyMP Monitor.

Administrators can use the plug-in to send messages or

announcements to one or more projectors or all the projectors on the

network. You can send messages manually, or use the Timer function

in EasyMP Monitor to have messages sent automatically.

You can use Message Broadcasting to send images in JPEG format.

The maximum resolution for an image is 1920 × 1200 pixels.

Getting Started

Before you install the Message Broadcasting plug-in, make sure

EasyMP Monitor (version 4.40 or later) is installed, and your

projectors are registered in EasyMP Monitor. Make sure your

projectors support Message Broadcasting; check

www.epson.com/support if necessary.

Follow the instructions on the Epson website for downloading and

installing.

You need to use a networked Windows computer running

Windows®7, Windows Vista®, Windows XP, or Windows 2000

Professional to install the plug-in.

If any of the projectors you select are switched off, they will power on

automatically when you begin Message Broadcasting. For network

communication, make sure the Standby Mode setting in the

projectors’ Extended menu is set to Communication On.

you want to save all slides or just the curent slide.

If a projector is already operating, the Message Broadcast will

interrupt the existing projection.

8. When you want to end the message display or slideshow, click

If you are broadcasting a series of slides, you may need to calculate
