Connecting your Genee Vision visualiser to a projector
You can simply use your visualiser as a presentation tool with a single connection to a projector.
You will need:
VISUALISER
The power pack The VGA cable
This is the simplest of all the set-ups. There will be situations where mobile projectors are being used and all that is required is the visualiser image to be displayed.
The built-in functionality of the visualiser means that the projected image can be frozen, split, mirrored etc.
Alternatively, with a xed projector there will most likely be a connecting wall plate that the VGA lead will plug into.

Linking your Genee Vision visualiser to a PC or laptop
By linking your visualiser back to your PC or laptop, you can simply switch the projector inputs between the camera and computer.
You will need:
The power pack The VGA cable A second VGA
PROJECTOR
VGA
CCD/PC1/PC2
VISUALISER
‘COMP IN’
VGA
This new lead goes from the ‘COMPUTER IN’ socket on the visualiser back to the VGA socket on your computer.
By pressing the CCD/PC1/PC” button on the visualiser (which will change from blue to green), we can now switch the projector inputs between the camera and the PC/laptop desktop (you may have to clone the computer’s screen to see this). With certain Genee Vision models, a 3rd digital input can be switched in.
Your classroom PC and interactive whiteboard might have a splitter box somewhere at the back with 3 VGA leads going into it.
The simplest way of dealing with this is to follow the VGA lead from the wall plate and remove it from the splitter, then plug it into the visualiser ‘PROJECTOR’ socket.
LAPTOP/PC
Now use the additional VGA lead to link the vacant splitter socket back to the PC to achieve the same eect as above.
P.S. The visualiser acts as a splitter box in itself and could actually replace the existing box.

Using the USB lead to capture still and moving images
You can use your visualiser to capture still and moving images onto your computer.
You will need:
VISUALISER
Capture software
USB
USB cable
LAPTOP/PC
You will need to load the resources disk which contains Genee Toolbar program and USB camera driver onto your system rst.
Following the software installation, plug the USB lead in (the visualiser socket is under the side ap). When the computer has found the ‘new USB’, open Genee Toolbar for a live view image.
As soon as you have a live image on your desktop, you can start using your interactive whiteboard tools to annotate over the top of it.
With Genee Toolbar you can also use the software to capture still (jpeg) or moving images (avi).
Other programs that the visualiser will easily link with are Word, Powerpoint and Smart Notebook. To insert an image, go to ‘INSERT’, ‘IMAGE FROM CAMERA OR SCANNER’, checking the dialog box to see that the USB 2861 driver is listed.
For movie capture and editing, Microsoft Moviemaker is ideal. There are also several animation programs available that directly link to the visualiser.
(P.S. Image capture only needs the USB lead to be attached.)
