PC-based control
The projectors are designed to be operated by a PC running the Microsoft
Windows® XP Professional operating system. You can attach the PC directly via
RS-232C interface, or use a single PC to manage a fleet of projectors via
Ethernet. The control system tracks lamp life and service intervals and can alert
you to error conditions via automated emails. A conventional handheld infrared
remote control is also supplied for basic on/off and input switching functions.

functions.
Maintenance
Sony paid special attention to periodic maintenance. Lamp bulbs and
lamp houses can be replaced without special jigs or tools. (Of course,
appropriate safety equipment should always be worn.) This minimizes downtime
during the replacement cycle. And there are no cumbersome adjustments after
lamp replacement.
