5 SETTING UP THE LCD PANEL

Switch off all equipment before connecting the components. Be aware of static electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching a metallic surface before you start.

Place the LCD panel on top of a transmissive overhead projector (OHP). Select a high intensity type projector, for instance 400W halogen or 575W metal-halide. Best results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct sunlight.

The following are guidelines for first time set-up: Connect the cables and power supply as illustrated on the rear foldout

page (see Connection Layout). Attach power to the LCD panel, then turn the overhead projector and

computer on.

Do not switch on the OHP unless the LCD panel is powered, as this may cause permanent damage.

If you are going to use a mouse, make sure to power the LCD panel first. For more information on set-up see the following sections on

Computer/Mouse.

USER GUIDE LCD PANEL

5.1 COMPUTER

Connect the LCD panel, computer, monitor and power supply as shown in the rear foldout.

Connect cable (1) between the LCD panel and the computer. The LCD Panel can be attached to computers and supports up to

1024x768 image resolutions in compressed/panning mode. With Macintosh (Power MAC), resolutions up to 1152x870 is supported. Refer to the Compatibility table on page 23 for further details.

If you have a Macintosh computer, insert applicable adapters (4) and (5) as shown. If you have a workstation, insert applicable adapter as described in the table below.

Connect the power supply to the LCD panel (3).

TO SET UP FROM THE BATMOUSE REMOTE CONTROL :

To assist you in setting up and fine tuning the panel, fill a large portion of your screen with a 50% grey pattern (alternating black and white pixels). Then make sure that the panel is set to direct (1:1) default mode before adjusting the frequency setting. This can be done by pressing the SCALE button on the remote control.

STEP OPERATION

1 Press RESET for default settings 2 Adjust FREQUENCY if chequered image is not regular 3 Adjust TUNE for a stable image 4 Press POSITION, then use cursor keys to position the image 5 Adjust CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS as desired

5.2 RGB VIDEO

The LCD panel can project video images from Video Cassette Recorder or Laser Disk source using direct RGB connection with composite sync on H. When using the VGA-to-BNC adapter (Part# 301.111), connect the RedGreen-Blue to the RGB source and connect composite sync to the black H connector. The yellow V connector remains unused.

This will give a projected video image resolution of 768x576 in PAL and 640x480 in NTSC. The image cannot be scaled by using the SCALE button or the remote control.

You may also use the video adapter (Part# 101.081) to drive scan doubled PAL/NTSC/SECAM from any standard composite Video (CV) source. This will allow video to be scaled to full 800x600 image size. With the video adapter II the image size is 768x576 (Part#101.082).

5.3 MOUSE

Connect the mouse to the LCD panel using the appropriate adapter (5) as described in the table below. Then connect the adapter (5) to the mouse cable at the computer end. Finally, connect the mouse cable to the LCD panel (2).

For the computer to recognise the mouse, connect the mouse before power is applied.

A Y-split is provided with the PC and MAC adapters that enables parallel use of the local computer mouse and the remote mouse. The local and remote mice should however not be operated simultaneously, as this may lead to unpredictable positioning of the mouse pointer. If you have a Macintosh, make sure to connect your Mac mouse adapter via the keyboard.

The PS/2 adapter does not have a Y-split. To use the mouse function with workstations requires workstation

compatibility with one of the mice defined below.
