Switching projector inputs

By linking your visualiser to a PC
or laptop you can switch projector
inputs using the ‘CAM/PC’ button
on the unit’s remote. 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).

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!).

The GV3100 records directly to an SD Card which can be
transferred to any PC / Laptop with an SD card reader.

Laptop / PC

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.
