There is no need for any installation on a PC and no need for any administrator rights. The software can be launched from a standard USB Memory Stick. This enables simple operation without any installation. As long as the PC and Projector are on the same network, the user can start his presentation and present on up to 4 projectors. ADVANCED OPERATIONAL FEATURES :

    Network Image Transfer : IEU Lite can detect all projectors on the same network automatically and transfer PC pictures to up to 4 selectable projectors at same time via network.

GCT is an excellent tool for horizontal and vertical Keystone Correction.
