Getting Started and Publishing
This section will show how to create a new project, open an existing project, manage and work
within a project, and change the global project settings as well. These simple steps are necessary
before you can begin adding and changing content.
CREATING A NEW PROJECT
A project is a collection of content that the IMPRESS system will play back in sequence. While the
IMPRESS is capable of storing numerous projects, only one can be played back at a time.
Generally, if you own only one IMPRESS unit, you will probably stick with just one project for all your
work. Owners of multiple IMPRESS units usually have one project for each unit, although some-
times the same project will be sent to two or more units.
From the Main Menu in Impress Composer, select New Project.
You will now be given some basic options before you can begin creating pages.

Give the project an appropriate name. This will be for your reference only. Also, select the output
format for your project.
VGA (Custom): You to choose the aspect ration, orientation, and resolution of the project.
» NOTE: This setting does not determine what output connector is used on the IM-
PRESS playback system. It is only used to create a project with settings appropriate
for that particular connector.

a resolution appropriate for the display you will be using. Refer to the display documentation if
necessary.
