Setup
OPTi verso is designed to be used with its base under either a laptop computer or under the keyboard of a desktop PC; the

camera section should face sideways over a free area of the desk.
After unpacking, the camera should be attached to the arm: place the prongs on the camera mounting into the arm and tighten the screw, tightening the camera firmly to the arm. Insert the plug into the camera
The USB lead should be connected to the computer for the OPTi program to run. The camera can be used for either close-up or distant viewing. By facing it downwards, looking through the close-up lens, at your

material on the desk below, you can perform close-up work. Alternatively, facing the camera forwards, you can look around the room.
The camera has two buttons, one to zoom­in (Z+) the other to zoom-out (Z-). The zooming can also be controlled from the OPTi program.
Charging OPTi Verso
OPTi Verso contains a rechargeable battery that must be charged periodically if you want to use it on the move. Simply plug the charger into the base of the unit and a wall socket and leave it to charge. The battery will be fully charged in 4 hours and should last approximately 6 hours of usage.

The unit can be used while it is charging.
OPTi software
The OPTi software consists of the video window and the toolbar. The video window displays the real time video image captured by the unit itself. The video window is movable and resizable both horizontally and vertically.
The toolbar window displays the main controls for the software. This allows you quick access to the video control features and to the main menu.
As you move the text or image under the OPTi’s camera, the image will be displayed on the video window. There are many features on the OPTi software that allow you to optimise the display for your particular requirements.
Shortcut keys in this manual are
described in the form “Ctrl+X”.
Page 7 Rev B English
OPTi Verso User Manual
This means that you press and hold the control key and press the letter (“X”).
The shortcut keys only have effect when OPTi is the active program; they are not trapped by OPTi and may have another function entirely in other programs.
The one exception to this is the Scroll-Lock button, this button is trapped by OPTi. Pressing this button will make OPTi the active application, and so OPTi will appear on top of any other program that is running.
The toolbar explained
The following section explains function of the buttons on the OPTi toolbar. The complete toolbar is illustrated below.
Each of the buttons functions is explained in this section along with their equivalent keyboard shortcuts. This gives you a choice of ways to control OPTi using the PC mouse or the PC keyboard.

Keep on Top
Toolbar: Keyboard: Ctrl+T “Keep on top” forces the OPTi video
window on top of any other program window. For example, in the image below the user is typing in MS Word but the OPTi video window is sitting ‘on top’ of MS Word and is visible even though Word is the active application.
Sleep mode On/Off
Toolbar: Keyboard: Ctrl + S The Sleep mode function on OPTi is similar
to the screensaver function on a PC. If you don’t think you are going to use your OPTi

for a while but want to leave the program running, you can save battery power by simply putting OPTi into Sleep mode. This causes the video window to disappear and turns off OPTi’s internal circuitry.
Full colour/Reading mode
Toolbar: or Keyboard: Ctrl + G This button provides an alternative way to
switch between full colour and reading mode.
Positive / Negative mode
Toolbar: Keyboard: Ctrl + R This button toggles between positive and
negative reading modes. If you are in full colour mode pressing this will place you in the last reading mode used.

Full Screen
Toolbar: Keyboard: Ctrl+F When OPTi is in full screen mode the video
window takes up the entire screen and only the toolbar window will be visible over the video window.
Views and the Views Manager
Toolbar: to cycle Keyboard: Ctrl + Shift + 0…9 to save Ctrl + 0…9 to recall Ctrl + V to cycle the views
When you have set up the display the way you want it, you can store the settings for later recall. In fact you can store ten arrangements or “views” which can be recalled as you desire.
When you start the program for the first time all ten views will be at the default setting.
Page 11 Rev B English
OPTi Verso User Manual
If you make a change to a view you can store it as one of the ten views (View 0 to View 9) as follows:
Ctrl + Shift + 0 to save as view 0 Ctrl + Shift + 1 to save as view 1
and so on up to Ctrl + Shift + 9 to save as view 9
You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to save the current layout.
Note that you cannot store a setting at full screen. You should
instead use Page Up to enlarge the window to the maximum size and then save this instead.
To recall the stored views, press Ctrl + 0 to Ctrl + 9. You will be prompted to save any changes you made to the current view when you change to another view.
You can use the Views Manager to look at the views you have stored. You can access this from the menu by pressing the Menu

button (see page 20), then “Views” and then “Views Manager”. Choosing view 0 to 9 will display a preview of the view as it would appear on the screen in the colours stored for that view. You can choose OK to select a view. The image below shows what the Views Manager looks like.
The “Replace with current view” button will store the current screen layout into the selected view. In the case above, view 1 would be replaced with the current view.
The “Include in window cycle” checkbox can be set for each of the ten views. If this box is checked for a particular view then that view will be displayed in rotation as
you cycle through the views with the button on the toolbar or by pressing Ctrl + V on the keyboard, or alternatively with

one of the front panel buttons pro­grammed to cycle views. (Programming the front panel buttons is covered later in this manual.)
Video controls
Toolbar:
The video controls allow you to control the brightness and contrast and saturation of the OPTi image. Press on the toolbar or from the menu choose “Options”, “Video controls” (Keyboard: Ctrl + M, O, V). The Video controls dialog box is shown on the next page.
The slider controls can be adjusted as you desire. You can use the mouse to move them or you can use the keyboard. For example to change the brightness of the image, press “B” and then use the arrow
