Sony VPL CX75 - Manual (Page 3)

Air Shot
Simple Mode
Air Shot simple mode is a revolutionary new way of
presenting, allowing you to establish wireless communication
between the projector and a PC and to instantly begin a
presentation. This feature is easy to use even for those not
familiar with setting up wireless network systems.
Making Air Shot wireless
presentations is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1) Simply insert the wireless LAN
card into the VPL-CX85, and
turn on the projector.
2) Then, plug the USB wireless LAN
module into your PC...
3) And voila! The image on your PC
is automatically projected from
the VPL-CX85.
Note: The Projector Station for Air Shot software application
must be installed on the PC the first time the projector’s Air
Shot feature is used. This can be
done by simply plugging the USB
storage media into your PC and
following the “Setup Wizard”
instructions on your PC display. 5
5 When using Windows XP or Windows
2000, the user must be logged into an account with computer
administrator access .
LAN Connection Capability 6
In office environments with a wireless LAN capability, the
VPL-CX85 can be accessed via a wireless LAN access point
and used by any PC on the LAN. This configuration is conven-
ient for remote maintenance and control of the projector.
6 Simple mode cannot be used in this configuration. An IEEE
802.11b-compliant wireless LAN access point is required.
Channels: 1 to 11. WEP: 128-bit (104) / 64-bit (40). Air Shot
may not function properly in certain wireless LAN environments
High-Speed Image Transfer
Wireless connections can sometimes introduce delays when
transmitting images to the projector. However, the VPL-CX85
employs a Sony original compression and transmission
technique allowing for smooth presentations with high-quality
images.
Security Feature
The Air Shot wireless feature offers a high level of security
preventing cross-communication between projectors and PCs
by using an encryption function, WEP (Wired Equivalency
Protection). 7 This secure transmission function is
automatically set even in Simple Mode.
7 Sony cannot guarantee the security of wireless communications.
Multi-Connection Capability 8
Up to five VPL-CX75 data projectors can be connected wire-
lessly, with the image from a single PC projected on each.
This feature is ideal for large venues in which images have to
be projected from various locations.
8 Simple mode cannot be used in this configuration. Up to 5 pro-
jectors can be connected to a single PC.
Web Browser Access 9
In any of the various Air Shot configurations, including Simple
Mode, LAN Configuration, and Multi-Connection Configuration,
all VPL-CX85 projectors can be accessed via a web browser.
The setup menu can be changed and maintenance information
can be obtained via a user-friendly GUI.
