The part of the projection system which facilitates this aspect is the playback component. For the purpose of clarity this is the reason: The artwork, content or imagery needs to be send to a projector or screen in order to be seen by the audiennce. Of course initially it is important to understand why you need them in the first place. The variety and number of options that is being offered these days is somewhat dizzying.
