Switching projector inputs
By linking your visualiser to a PC or laptop you can
switch projector inputs using the ‘camera’, ‘visualiser’
buttons on the unit’s control panel. This integrates
seamlessly with an interactive whiteboard and only
requires a second VGA lead (you may have to clone
the screen when linked to a laptop):
‘RGB IN’
socket
VGA lead
‘RGB in’
socket
Laptop
‘RGB OUT’
socket
‘12V IN’
socket
VGA lead
(direct to projector,
screen or wall plate
socket)
Projector
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 dierent applications.
