"The result is total presentation flexibility, making the PT-L780NTE the ideal projection solution for classrooms, lecture halls, offices, libraries, corporate meeting rooms and retail environments - especially as units may either be purchased outright or rented," says Ben Hunt, director: Panasonic Office Automation, IT and Telecommunications Systems.

The unit can upload presentation files from any PC on the network onto the PT-L780NTE`s on-board SD Memory Card. Presentations saved onto portable SD Memory Cards can then be played-back using SD-compatible image playback platforms - an ideal way to display digital camera pictures and sales presentations.
Panasonic`s Wireless Manager software displays easy-to-use controls for all the projector`s functions. It also enables remote monitoring to check on critical operations such as remaining lamp life: simply connect the unit to a standard Internet browser via wired or wireless port. Wireless Manager includes Panasonic`s unique Capture Mode, which allows instant transmission of anything already on PC.
