Does the Projector support playing .ppt and .pptx files from a USB disk?

No it does not. I dont know of any that do, but would love to have one with this function.

File types supported are JPEG, JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIFF if run solely off a flash drive. PPT/PPTX files are Powerpoint displays and require the Powerpoint processing to recognize and run the visual. If you convert your PPT/PPTX files to an image file as listed above, you can then view the images, however there is no interaction except for slide-show ability and you could lose formatting or data. Best for PPT/PPTX is to run from a laptop or tablet that has Powerpoint installed and operating.

I don't run the machine. We have it hooked to a computer. You should call the BenQ company to find out the answer to this question.

Currently have it running through the USB port on projector. It does come with a plug adapter if USB is not an option.

Not sure, you may need a USB (to your camera) to VGA adaptor (to the projector) converter

I imagine you would need to purchase discs specifically made for this projector

I think so but I honestly don't know. I haven't used it for that and am not very tech savvy :) I would check by googling it. I LOVE the projector though!

No, it most likely does not have the drivers for a projector. It is used for USB flash drives and gaming controllers mostly.

Yes. DLP Link works out of the box without any emitters. http://www.dlp.com/projector/dlp-innovations/dlp-link.aspx

Yes but you will need a device to stream it with. I use a WD player that you can connect a hard drive to, and the player has a HDMI output that you can connect to the projector... Hope that helps

I'm not sure if you can plug an External USB device and play the files, you could however share your DVD/BluRay drive on your computer and play the files over the newtork (wired gigabit connection to be stable). It will play bluray/dvd iso or raw files. I bought a few 4TB externals and just created ISO files out of my blurays so I don't have to get up and get the disc, I can just select them from a list and play them.

Yes. I was able to present a ppt presentation via a jump drive. However, most of my presentations were via a laptop.

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, if you connect it via a USB cable it comes right up. You can also tweak it with the display settings on the computer as well as using the remote for the projector. I use it to teach workshops and it's nice, portable and works great.

I think you are referring to the internal memory of the unit. I have not tried it but yes it does, the difference is that it will convert your PPT or DOC to a format that the Projector supports. Otherwise it will project whatever you have on your computer. Hope that helps

Yes you can but the flash drive has to be connected to a laptop. I don't think you can use the projector without a computer. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Computer Yes (it uses a VGA connection). Very good resolution for PowerPoints.No USB connection.

Ignore Brad's answer. There's no way to present a ppt directly from the projector. You can export your ppt from Powerpoint as individual JPGs, and then play those as a slideshow on the projector using the included remote. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. If any of your ppt slides have elements that fade-in, move, etc. that functionality is lost.
