PRECAUTIONS
Please follow these precautions:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
To prevent electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer to qualified
personnel for service only.
Do not use the unit continuously for more than 24 hours with camera
auto focus on. It may cause damage to the camera lens.
Be careful not to spill water or other liquids onto the unit, or allow
combustible or metallic objects to get inside the cabinet.
Unplug the visualiser from the wall outlet when it is not being
used for a long period of time.
Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution.
Clean the lens carefully with an air spray or soft dry cloth to avoid
scratching it.
When the lamps flash or become dark, they should be replaced with new ones.
Avoid switching arm lights and back light frequently.
Remove the camera lens cap before power the unit on.

with a RS232 cable Please disconnect the computer from the RS232 port first. Then
use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector.
The visualiser provides a 6-pin to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this cable does not match
to your projector’s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional
RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector’s RS232 con-
trol port. The pin locations of the visualiser are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data);
the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not
defined. The pin location information of the projector is provided by the projector’s
manufacturer. The projector’s RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin
and GND pin, the name may be different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown
as follows:
Visualiser’s RXD pin------------Projector’s TXD pin
Visualiser’s TXD pin------------Projector’s RXD pin
Visualiser’s GND pin------------Projector’s GND pin
5. If you can not use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector,
please use Code-Writing software’s projector control code testing function to check
if the control code is correct.
Click “Projector” button, the following dialogue box appears as below:
Connect the visualiser to a computer with a RS232 cable (Please
BASIC PREPARATIONS
1. Use one hand to hold the base of the visualiser, use the other hand to carefully lift
up the camera stand of the unit.
2. Open the arm lights and rotate the camera head until they are in proper positions.
3. Making connections:
Before making any connection, turn off all the power, including power of the visualiser
and the equipment to be connected.
Step 1: Connect power source.
First connect the power cord to the 12V IN connector.

Step 1: Connect power source.
First connect the power cord to the 12V IN connector.
Step 2: Connect to the projector.
Connect visualiser’s PROJECTOR port to the RGB IN port of the projector
port with the RGB cable provided together the visualiser.
If you need control a projector with the visualiser, please use the projector
RS232 cable (6-pin to 9-pin) to make the connection between the projector
and the visualiser. Some projector models may require a converter cable in
addition to this standard RS232 cable to connect to the projector
control port, for the pin locations and shape of some projectors’ control
port connector may be different from the connector of a standard RS232
cable. After the visualiser is connected to the projector, you can control
projector’s power on, standby and input selection with the visualiser. (For
projectors other than Hitachi, the Code Writing program that comes with
the visualiser is required for this function.)

Step 4: Connect video equipment with S-Video input.
Output of the S-Video signal from the visualiser to the projector is already done
in the step 2, where the RGB cable comes out from the visualiser and goes to the
projector. After the connections as steps 2, 3, 4 are made, input signals from the
computer, visualiser CCD and S-Video are going to the RGB1 input on the projector
and will be displayed on the projector screen as RGB1. These signals can be seen in
turn when pressing “CCD/PC1/PC2” and “S-VIDEO/VIDEO” on the control panel of
the visualiser.

Step 3: Connect to a desktop computer.
2. Connect the RS232 cable to the computer’s connector. The visualiser’s RS232 port is
located on its right side.
3. After completion of the connection, turn on the visualiser
click [start] -> [All Programs] -> Visualiser -> and the following dialogue box appears
as below:
When the indicator of “Current RS-232 Connection Status” is green, that means the
connection between the visualiser and the computer’s RS232 connector is good. If the
indicator is red, please check if the RS232 cable is connected correctly. When all the
cables are connected correctly, please click “Projector” to select your projector model
under the drop-down list, then click “Send”. If you can not find your particular projector
model in the “Projector”, please do the following:
1) Select “Baud rate” and “parity” and input the projector control code. (The baud
rate, parity and control code is supplied by projector’s manufacturer, please refer to the
projector’ manual)
Note: You can connect a laptop computer to the RGB IN port of side panel with a
RGB cable.
Step 4: Connect video equipment with S-Video input.
