Getting to Know the 4000i 7
The Epson 9300i Projector
The 4000i comes with an Epson 9300i multimedia projector for you to install in the cabinet.
This projector has been selected for its high resolution and its uniform brightness and clarity.
Also, its lamp has a life expectancy of 7,000 hours.
This projector has a native resolution of 1400 x 1050 pixels. To take advantage of this high
resolution, a connected computer should have a graphics card or driver that supports this
resolution. Your computer can support this resolution setting as long as you’ve installed a
recently released graphics card or you’ve a graphics controller program running. An example
of a graphics card that supports this resolution is the NVIDIA card from NVIDIA® Corporation,
and an example of a graphics controller program is the PowerStrip application, which is
available from EnTech Taiwan. If you use a graphics controller program, set the computer’s
resolution setting to 1400 x 1050 pixels by following the instructions that come with the
program. While the projector scales all resolutions from 640 x 480 pixels and higher, some
resolutions may not properly display and the image quality will be lower if you don’t use the
optimal resolution of 1400 x 1050.
The 9300i projector comes with a remote control with an On/Off button to conserve battery life.
Like other projectors, the 9300i can be in various states during the course of a day (see
Table 1). For example, the projector puts itself in Standby mode if it doesn’t receive a video
signal for 30 minutes. To determine what state the projector is in, look at the LEDs in the
4000i’s control panel and use Table 1. If you need more information on these LEDs, see
page 43. If you need more information on using the control panel, see page 45.
