Congratulations with your ILS22G product.

If you received this product fully integrated and ready to go, launch sho-Q to start presenting.

Sho-Q

To start using sho-Q, you must connect a projector or external display to the ILS22G (VGA connector with converter or
DVI-D connector on the DVI-I socket provided).

You can then start sho-Q presenter and insert presentations, either through setting them ready with sho-Q Planner,
by using sho-Q presenter’s browser (press Manage Presentations, add) or by inserting a USB memory stick with a
Powerpoint presentation that has been exported with sho-Q Pre-processor.
Please refer to the sho-Q user manual.

With all presentations lined up on the sho-Q Presenter selector screen, one touch will start the presentation, simply
pressing next or previous slide, or select from view all slides… staged slides and embedded videos are controlled with
translucent buttons appearing within the current slide view frame, when needed. Better control of videos is offered when
sho-Q’s plug in for inserting video’s and flash files has been used (any sho-Q program automatically inserts Windows
Media Player in Powerpoint)
Sho-Q requires that MS PowerPoint or MS Office 2007 or 2003 has been installed.

Sho-Q is optionally expanded with a system to capture the presentation along with the video image of the presenter in a
virtual studio setting, in order to project the combined image in large auditoria. This is a unique productivity solution as
the XGA signal can stream real time over normal IP lines and be recorded at the same time.

Preparing the ILS22G

Using the right brackets, the ILS22G plateau may have been installed on the Powerlift electrical lift and foot, on the
ILS24 19” lectern cabinet, placed on any table or a custom designed podium.

On the front panel on the right of the DVD unit there is the power on button. After switching on the power, the ILS-logo
in blue must appear on the top left. Do not touch the system until it has finished completely its set up, marked by the fact
that the Room Control and Keyboard buttons are lit. Tap on the monitor field to see of the cursor is picking up your touch.
(When not, see end of next chapter)

Display: the ILS22G includes a 22” wide screen format display with 1680x1050 display resolution. For better reading
in the display panel has been placed “upside down” in the plateau, you may see it start up with a start up screen
that is upside down. The display panel is connected through the LVDS internal connector to the processor for the best
performance and control possible.

In case the display remains displaying upside down, then the INTEL GMA controller has been reset.
Open the display icon in the bottom right task bar tray and set the display at 180°

The operating system display settings must show the second display at its best resolution and set as extended desktop
device. (Right-click anywhere on the display and choose properties form the drop down menu. Select the settings tab.
Select 2nd monitor, set its resolution with the slide bar and tick the extended desktop mark)

SOTouch

The ILS22G is equipped with a very advanced new patented acoustic touch detection system.
Because of this new technology, the design is remarkable: although the entire glass surface responds to touch technology,
there is no need for a bezel. The ILS22G uses regular tempered glass of narrow specifications.

The edges remain clear all around, any spilled water or coffee, any dirty finger marks can be cleaned with a regular
wipe and glass cleaner. Avoid pouring water over the top of the glass where it can seep between glass and aluminum
top with XLR sockets. The system is not entirely water-proof!
The top of the glass has been treated with the finest grain, to avoid that the presenter is looking at his mirror image.

The ILS22G touch implementation uses 2 sensors and detects locations from interference signals generated when the
glass is touched. The calibration process is simple and with this technology – after you are satisfied with the reach of the
touch – you never need to calibrate again.

The touch works with your finger or any object, provided the touch will generates vibrations within the glass.
You can place an object, for example a book, on the surface and the touch calibration remains unaffected.

When you change the resolution of the native screen the calibration is usually not affected, but if the screen ratio is
changed, you may need to re-start the program.

The touch system in static mode is ideally suited for operating the sho-Q Presentation delivery system.
In static mode drag and drop features can be used as well.
We recommend that you use this mode in general operation, but for instant touch needs - such as in presentation delivery
with PowerPoint or sho-Q - we suggest you disable the drag and drop feature.
This is done with a tick mark in the control panel of SO touch and eliminates the slight delay where the system is trying to
understand if a touch is the beginning of a trail or just a touch.

Normally you receive the system with SOtouch pre-loaded

Virtual keyboard

The bottom of the glass is printed with a mask and buttons.

On the left side you will find the room control commands, on the right side there are buttons for source selection and
short-cuts. On the bottom area you’ll see a keyboard, directional keys, a mouse pad, and an annotation pad.

When a keypad is activated the LED’s behind the keypad are lit so that the keys become visible.
There are nine fields that can be individually programmed to be made visible.
Furthermore there are 5 level indicators that can be programmed, as well as signal areas for Projector, Touch, Mute and
PC audio. (see diagram 1 on the next page)

Diagram 1

In a normal setting almost all keys are invisible except for CONTROL and KEYBOARD (and ANNOTATION when this
feature is included in future versions). If you tap on these keys the rest of the buttons will become visible.
Tap again and they will extinguish and be insensitive to touch. Only lit buttons will respond to touch.

For operation and programming convenience the backlights are grouped by functional areas. (e.g. 2 for room control,
3 for keyboard, 4 for short cuts, 5/6 for annotation (for support in future system releases), 7 for the touch pad, 8 for
directional keys.

Communication ports and relays.

The ILS22 has 2 LAN ports, 4 COM ports (3 of which are on the outside) and 10 relays
(in 3 plugs 8 are externally reachable)
Just like the backlight LED’s, the relays are reached using the same protocol as for the backlight areas (see table 2)

In the I/O bay you will find 3 sockets, RPT 1, a DIN plug socket, RPT2, a stereo jack, RPT3, an RJ45 RPT1, DIN plug
has pin 1 common and pin 2 or pin 3 to close the circuit.
This plug is intended for connecting to the electrical lift and operate the up & down control through the up and down
arrow on the keyboard (when keyboard and annotate are not active).

The commands for this plug are reached through address 22 and 23 resp. (pin 1 ground, Pin 2 = relay 1 or function
22, Pin 3 = relay 2 or function 23 )

RPT2, the stereo jack is issuing a +\or – 5 volt to switch the 2-way VGA switcher inside the ILS24G version with the
cabinet that includes a 4-way and a 2-way Extron switcher (but may also be used for other purposes)

The RPT3 RJ45 has 4 circuits on its 8 connectors that are opened
or closed by the relays for any need.
Do not apply more than 12 volts per pin pair!

The remaining 2 relays are for internal use (microphone mute
switch and optional light switch)

Socket layouts:

1. Sleeve: usually ground

2. Ring: Right-hand channel for stereo signals, negative phase for balanced
mono signals, power supply for power-requiring mono signal sources

3. Tip: Left-hand channel for stereo signals, positive phase for balanced
mono signals, signal line for unbalanced mono
signals

4. Insulating rings

3,5 mm jack plug stereo relay no: field protocol:
1= white wire = ground
2= brown wire = ring 3,4 24 & 25
3= green wire = tip

4= switch --------------------white wire 5 26
5= positive signal--------------white wire

XLR3:
1= ground(shield)
2= positive signal-------------white wire
3= negative signal------------blue wire

Note: Reserve on connector P4 are relay numbers 10 &11 with respectively field protocols 31 and 32. Pin numbers P4 are 17,18
(relay number 10); 19, 20 (relay number 11). All commands are issued through the COM4 port.

COM1, COM2 and COM3 are available to hook up RS232 controllable devices, such as projectors or the 4-way
switcher inside the ILS24G 19”cabinet based version.

Next to the LAN network connector, the second LAN port can be used to connect to IP protocol driven control systems.

The flexibility in addressing and programming is endless.
However in our implementation we regarded mainly what functions are needed when one is standing behind the lectern.
eg. ‘Projector on’ may trigger the projector to start, but you could also combine that with issuing commands to close the
curtains, lower the screen and dim the lights.
Similarly the lights button is for having the lights up or dimmed, no matter how many bays of light switches are behind
that. We do not claim to control every possible light setting. If that is required, use the “Extra Buttons”-button to open
a room control application on the PC screen and use that to adjust the settings. This also applies if you require a local
language keyboard; just program that link to an OSK under the “Extra Buttons”-button.

Depending customer requests ILS may program more keys and function keys under the extra buttons.

Microphones

The ILS22G provides 2 sockets for microphones.

On the left you find an XLR5 connector to which our optional microphone is connected.
This option consists ofs a high quality Shure condenser microphone with pre-amplifier. Due to its modification it can be
muted by touching the glass surface MUTE button on the left, and is thus brought under computer control (also possible
from a remote PC…) the connector to the amplifier is the corresponding miniXLR4m in the I/O bay.

The MUTE switch is executed by relay 5, field command 26.Mini XLR connections in the I/O bay….

On the right side is the XLR3 connector on which you place any microphone/phantom powered microphone with
external pre-amp and amplifier. The mute button can still be used to address such a microphone system provided there is
a way to connect over RS232, over IP, or through a relay.

PC

The internal PC power is based on an industrial motherboard with INTEL945 series board with
Core2Duo processor. This is a special board to provide the 4 COM ports and dual LAN with LVDS to the monitor and
DVI-I for flexible connection of display devices. On the front of the ILS22G you find 4 additional USB ports (and 4 in the
I/O bay), a multi format DVD player and the ON/OFF switch (hold 4 seconds before switching off to prevent accidental
switching)

The system comes with the Microsoft XP Professional 32-bit Operating System.
Optionally MS Office2007 will be added, but usually this is expected to be supplied and loaded by the client.
Sho-Q comes pre-loaded with the license key provided. If sho-Q Presenter is downloaded from www.sho-q.com and
installed by the client a “Sho-Q Evaluation Copy” banner will be visible on the output.
Instructions are provided in the software on how to obtain the license key to remove the banner in the output.
For further details, we refer you to the sho-Q user reference manual.

When you install your own MS Office software, please re-install sho-Q Presenter in order to insert the sho-Q plugins for
MS PowerPoint.
