The PJLink protocol enables the direct connection and control of the network projector over a LAN without any additional control hardware. Many Bitlogix NetControl customers switch to PJLink protocol enabled projectors to avoid excessive cost of third party control system hardware. The new NetControl 2.0 projector control and management software is today the most cost effective solution for projector control over the data network.

We received the information from our QA-Team that Bitlogix NetControl 2.0 projector control software is also approved for Windows Server 2008 R2. NetControl 2.0 can run under Windows Server 2008 R2 with limited user rights and does not require elevated administrator permissions. This is especially important for Remote Desktop Connections in a multi-user usage scenario. NetControl 2.0 is able to control and monitor projectors and flat panel displays over a network connection for each active user independently.

Here is the complete list of supported operating systems (32-bit and 64-bit):
