3. When you see the screen shown in Figure 7-4, you will choose a color setting for your presentation. Select the
default True Color to have the optimum color option. If the action is very slow or your presentation is mostly
text, you may want to select Basic Color. You will still have color, but your speed will increase.
Click the Refresh button.
4. Next, choose your presentation option from the following buttons at the bottom of the screen.
• Upload Presentation. This option allows you to upload a PowerPoint presentation to the Presentation
Player. Once uploaded, you can display the entire presentation using the hand-held remote control.
While this feature allows great freedom and mobility, please consider the following when uploading a
presentation to the Presentation Player:
Once uploaded, anyone can use the remote control to view the presentation on a monitor, so take
precautions if your presentation contains sensitive or confidential material.
The PC attempting to upload a presentation must have Microsoft PowerPoint 97 or later installed.
Some features, such as animation, hyperlinks, and sound will not be available once your presentation is
uploaded.
The Presentation Player comes with 32Mb of storage for your presentations. This allows enough room for
several presentations. However, be sure to remove your presentations when they are no longer needed to
make room for new files.
• Take Control of the Presentation Player. This feature allows you to conveniently transfer the contents of
your local PC screen to the projector or monitor that is connected to the Player where the presentation will
be displayed. You may notice some delay in mouse and keyboard function. Such a delay is normal for this
mode of operation. Only one user at a time can control the Presentation Player. The supported display
resolutions are 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. Please see your Windows documentation for more information
on changing your display settings.
• Give Control to Another User. To pause your presentation or change presenters, click this button.
• Exit (Stop). To exit the Control utility, click this button.
5. If you click the Upload Presentation button, the screen in Figure 7-5 will appear. Click the Browse button to
search for your Power Point presentation file.
