    Projecting the Contents of Files on a Memory Device
    This section explains how to perform the following operations.
    How to use EZ-Converter FA  computer software to convert Powe rPoint files to files that can be 
    played back with the Data  Projector’s Viewer function.
     How to project the contents  of files stored on a memory device s with the Data Projector’s Viewer 
    function.
    Viewer is one of the Data Projec tor’s built-in applications. It lets you play back and project the 
    contents of files from a memory device connected to the Data Projector.
    EZ-Converter FA is computer software for converting PowerPoint files to ECA files that can be played 
    back and projected by the Data Projector. EZ-Converter FA supports conversion of file created with 
    Microsoft Offi ce PowerPoint 2003, 2007 and 2010. Save for  certain exceptions (described below), 
    playback and projection of an ECA file normally sh ould be able to reproduce transitions, animations, 
    and other special effects of the original PowerPoint file.
     Conversion of OLE objects (movies, audio, etc.) and VBA objects in a PowerPoint file is not 
    supported.
     Conversion of timer and repeat operations in a PowerPoint file animation are not supported.
     Animation length is limited by the setting you configure under “To specify the maximum animation 
    display time” (page 16). If a PowerPoint file has an animation that is longer, the conversion process 
    will convert only up to the currently specified maximum animation display time and then advance to 
    the next step.
     Pauses are limited to three seconds. If a PowerPoint file has a pause that is longer, the conversion 
    process will allow three seconds and then advance to the next step.
    Important!In order to perform the pr ocedures in this section, you will first need to install the EZ-Converter 
    FA software from the CD-ROM  that comes with the Data Projector onto your computer. For 
    more information, see “Installing the Software” (page 8).
