Switching projector inputs

By linking your visualiser to a PC
or laptop you can switch projector
inputs using the ‘CCD/PC1/PC2’
button on the unit’s control panel.
This integrates seamlessly with an
interactive whiteboard and only
requires a second VGA lead:

When you press the CCD/PC1/PC2
button it will change from blue to
green and the computer desktop
image will be shown (you may have
to clone the screen when linked to a
laptop).

If your PC is connected to a splitter box, simply connect the
VGA lead that comes from the wall-plate socket into the
visualiser’s ‘Projector’ socket, then use another VGA lead to
link the splitter box to the visualiser’s ‘Computer In’ socket.
(The visualiser itself can be used as a splitter box!).

Loading the software

The accompanying disk has essential software
for enabling your computer to recognise the
visualiser and capture images, both still and
moving. This will be done through the USB
connecting lead.

The driver for your operating system must be
installed before connecting the USB lead. The
set-up wizard will take you through the process.

VideoCap and Genee Toolbar are programs
that will give you live camera windows and
whiteboard tools on your desktop, allowing
you to annotate over them or capture in
common image and video formats that can be
incorporated into dierent applications.

The disk also contains additional information, including user guides and training videos.
