Awhile ago, I spent quite a bit of time, trying to get full screen VGA out of my J720. What I discovered was...
With the HP VGA out card, full screen output is only possible for PPT presentations
(using the internal CE version of PPT, for which PPT presentations must be converted to Pocket PowerPoint PPV presentations.
) With ALL other applications, the output from this card is whatever is on the J720 screen
(640x240 - half high screen
).
The best solution that I found for presentation software with J720 is Margi Presenter-to-Go. The version that I have includes a Margi VGA output CF card which fits a CF to PCMCIA adapter, to plug into the J720. Software must be loaded via Active Sync from your PC. If you have MS PPT
(versions 1997 to 2002
) on your PC, the Margi install will add a button to the PPT program. This button allows easy conversion of existing PPT presentations
(with adjustment of some parameters
) to the Margi format
(.pdb
).
The Margi program, on the J720 allows re-ordering of slides and limited use of presentation notes. It displays full screen, with a couple of different selectable resolutions.
However, it will NOT provide full screen output for any other application.
Margi Presenter-to-Go can still be found new-in-the-box on ebay, for under $25. The package includes CF VGA card, IR remote control
(communicates directly with the card
), short VGA adapter cable, and software. The included software may or may not work with J720. Correct version is available on this forum.
