# info-beamer(1)

[info-beamer(1)](/info-beamer/1.md) -- An interactive multimedia presenter =====================================================

\## SYNOPSIS

\`info-beamer\` \<root\>

\## DESCRIPTION

\*\*info-beamer\*\* uses the files and subdirectories in the specified  directory \<root\> and displays them according to the Lua script \`node.lua\`. \*\*info-beamer\*\* provides a simple yet powerful API to display fonts, images, videos and more. The full documentation is available on http://info-beamer.org/doc/

\## ENVIRONMENT

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_FULLSCREEN\`:\
    If set to 1, \*\*info-beamer\*\* will start in fullscreen mode.

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_ADDR\`:\
    If specified, only binds to this address. Defaults to \`0.0.0.0\`.

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_PORT\`:\
    Specifies a port for both the TCP and UDP interface. Defaults to \`4444\`.

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_PRECOMPILED\`:\
    If set to \`1\`, \*\*info-beamer\*\* will also load precompiled Lua files. \
    Only use this option if you trust the files being loaded, as precompiled\
    Lua files should be considered unsafe.

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_FULLSCALE\`:\
    If set to \`1\`, \*\*info-beamer\*\* will ignore the aspect ratio of the screen\
    and scale the root content to the complete size of the screen.

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_WIDTH\`:\
    Sets the width of the initial screen. Useful when using the fullscreen\
    option above. Defaults to 1024.

 \* \`INFOBEAMER\_HEIGHT\`:\
    Sets the height of the initial screen. Useful when using the fullscreen\
    option above. Defaults to 768.

\## SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

By default, \*\*info-beamer\*\* will bind to \`0.0.0.0\`. Use \`INFOBEAMER\_ADDR\` to bind to another address.
