Abstract
An adapter for providing network access to a shared image projection device may comprise a network interface for connecting to a network and receiving network data from a network device over the network. A client, operatively associated with the network interface, receives data from the network interface and produces a data signal. A video display driver, operatively associated with the client, receives the data signal and produces video data for the shared image projection device.
