FEATURES

High-precision presentation system capable of projecting images of a wide range of physical objects including 3-dimensional objects, OHP sheets, slides, and printed matter.
XGA-equivalent high-resolution images ideal for input to a high-resolution projector. This unit can be connected to a projector or a monitor with XGA, SVGA or VGA resolution.
Pictures can be captured by a personal computer via the USB connector.
x20 zoom (x5 optical zoom x x4 digital zoom) capability for presentation of a wide range of material, ranging from B4-size documents
to 35-mm slide film.
Wireless remote control unit for trouble-free operation from a distance.
Useful presentation functions including preview mode, picture memory , 5-position camer a angle , z oom preset and text mode, allow-
ing eye-catching presentations.
Flat stage allows magnification of the four corners of an A4 portrait so that image-capturing capability can be optimised.
This unit can be controlled via a personal computer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or leave it near a heater .

Use to select and output the picture stored in memory. Use to adjust the white balance of the camera picture.
You cannot store a picture in memory with the PICTURE MEMORY button on the remote control unit. Use the button on the main unit.
The provided batteries (AA) should only be used to check operation. Install new batteries before use.
Notes on the remote control unit
Light reception range of the remote control unit is within a horizontal radius of 5 meters from the remote control light receptor. Use the remote control unit within this range.
If direct sunlight or powerful illumination (inverted fluorescent light, flash light, etc.) or infrared light are shone on the remote control light receptor, the remote control ma y not function prop­erly. In that case, change the position of the unit or the direc­tion of the illumination.
If there is a person or an object between the remote control and the light receptor, signal reception may not be possible. When the camera head is rotated to shoot surrounding objects, the light receptor may not receive the signal.
If the remote control is dropped or a violent shock is applied to it, the internal mechanism and electronic parts may be damaged. Be careful when handling it.
When batteries are close to depletion, signal reception weakens. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones.
CAUTION
When changing the batteries, always replace both batteries with new ones . Do not use a new battery together with
an old one. Otherwise, a fire or injury may result due to the explosion or leakage of the battery.
When the remote control is not used for a long period (more than one month), remove the batteries. Otherwise , a fire
or injury may result due to the explosion or leakage of the battery.
Do not charge, disassemble or heat a battery, nor throw it into a fire. Otherwise, a fire or injury may result due to the
explosion or leakage of the battery.

PRESENTATION (APPLICATION)

Preview mode
By using the preview mode, y ou can adjust z oom and focus on the preview monitor bef ore outputting the picture to the main presenta­tion screen. This makes it possible for you to make a smooth, prof essional presentation because material changes and screen adjust­ments are not shown. The following example describes how to transfer an image to the main projector.
Connection and setting
1.
Connect the RGB OUTPUT 1 or RGB OUTPUT 2 connector to the input connector of the projector.
2.
Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT or S-VIDEO OUTPUT connector to the input connector of the preview monitor.
3.
Turn the power on.
4.
Set the DIP switch F on the rear panel to 0 to engage the preview mode.
For cable connection, refer to page 5.
It is recommended to use the optional LCD monitor (TA-AV-Z7U) as a preview monitor. For connections, refer to the LCD
