tool window will be displayed in a main program interface in “Device” block (Fig.3.28).

Fig.3.28

3.3.4. Interactive Block Adjusting

After an interactive block was placed or mounted on ceiling you have to turn a device to
channel its optical axis to the middle of projection surface exectly. If interactive block is
ceiling mounted it could take you to weaken the attachment.
You can use a special monitoring tool to make this process faster and easier. The tool
window displays a part on projection area covered by interactive block (Fig.3.29).
Take a stylus and touch it a point in the middle of projection surface. An image in monitoring
window shows a position of point (red point) you pressed. Turn interactive block left to right
and top to bottom so red point on screen was in an intersection of diagonals (Fig.3.30).
You should also check whether projection surface is covered by interactive block
completely. Touch stylus points in all four corners and check appearance of red points at
proper places in monitoring tool window. Figure 3.31 shows one point. If the point position
doesn’t match the corner you should increase a distance between interactive block and
projection surface.

pressing “Esc” key on your keyboard.
If calibration was succesfull you will see calibrated surface image in the bottom block of
main program window (Fig.3.34).

An interactive block efficiency after calibrating must be in
a range from 50% to 70%.
If the efficiency is higher than 70% some “dead zone”
would appear on the boad.
So if value of efficiency does not fall within the specified
range we recommend changing the distance between
interactive block and projection surface.
You should re-calibrate projection surface and check the
efficiency again repeating all actions described before.

4. Troubleshooting: Questions and Answers

Num

Question

Answer

1

May ePresenter be installed
further than 3m from the
projection surface?

We don’t reconend to install ePresenter further
than 3m from projection surface as well as optical
stylus power is insufficient for ePresenter stable
operating.

2

System doesn’t respond to
stylus but responds to mouse
moving or key pressing.

Possibly battery is depleted. Please change it.

3

I can’t calibrate projection
surface. Some points don’t

respond to stylus touch.

There are two possible reasons:

- a distance between interactive block and
projection surface is too short;

- ePresenter lens wasn’t directed to projection
surface middle point.
You shouldn’t install interactive block closer then
1,5 boads diagonals. Change a distance and then
channel its lenth correctly.
