Frame Rate: The frame rate determines how many snapshots per second are taken of your

screen. A higher frame rate will cause your movie to be smoother during playback. How ever,

a higher frame rate requires more memory on your PC. Setting the Frame Rate to a low er

rate can help when your PC performance is slow .

Recommended Frame Rate for Available Memory:

100 MB Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 5 frames/second

250 MB Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 10 frames/second

500 MB or More Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 15 frames/second

You can determine the amount of available memory by opening Windows Task Manager,

under the Performance Tab look at the Physical Memory (K) section, and look at the Available

Memory. Divide the Available memory by 1000 to get the number of free MB.

Recommended Frame Rate for Your Processor:

Pentium IV or Similar Performance - Set the Frame Rate to 5 frames/second

Performance less than Pentium IV - In many cases a Frame Rate of 3 frames/second will be sufficient for good performance. However, in severe cases it is necessary to

set the Frame Rate to 1 frame/second.

Layers

The following section describes Layers and how to use them in your Scrapbook meeting.

What are Layers?



How to Use Layers



What are Layers?

Every Scrapbook page is made up of layers that can be shown or hidden at any time. The order of these layers are:

Page Background Layer: The page background can be set using Background Settings



to display an image, display a tem plate of a grid or horizontal lines, and/or be set to a specific background color. The page background cannot be modified by the annotation tools.

Annotation Layers: The annotation layers are transparent layers that are stacked on



top of the page background layer. These layers contain Scrapbook elements. Any Scrapbook page can have multiple annotation layers. When you add a new layer, it is

stacked on top of the existing layers. This means that annotations are displayed with the latest layer shown at the top.

The three types of annotation layers that are found in each Scrapbook page are:

Default Layer: The default annotation layer in the Scrapbook page. This layer

always exists for any Scrapbook page and cannot be deleted. User Layers 1 - 18: Up to 18 additional layers can be added to a Scrapbook

page. The default layer and the user layers are always shared to remote participants during a shared meeting.

Private Layer: The top-most layer is the private layer. The private layer is shown

only on the local computer and is never shared through a shared meeting. The purpose of the private layer is to give the local user a private workspace within the Scrapbook session. Note: Private layers are hidden when a shared meeting is synchronized.

All annotation layers can be locked and/or shown/hidden.

How to Use Layers

Turn on layers by choosing Layers from the View Menu. This opens the Layers dialog box that lets you select, add, delete and move layers of a Scrapbook page.

Layers Title Bar

The Layers dialog title bar indicates which Scrapbook page you are currently working in.

Page 58

Page 59

Add Layer

Add Layer adds a new blank layer to the currently selected Scrapbook page. The new layer is always added as the top-most layer (under the user layer). The new layer is alw ays added as visible and unlocked.

Delete Layer

Delete Layer causes the selected layer to be deleted. It is not possible to delete the private or default layers.

Move Layer Up

Move Layer Up causes the layer to be moved one level higher in the layer list. The highest a layer can be moved is directly below the private layer. The private and default layers cannot be moved.

Move Layer Down

Move Layer Down causes the layer to be moved one level lower in the layer list. The lowest a layer can be moved is directly above the default layer. The private and default layers cannot be moved.

Show/Hide

Show/Hide makes the layer visible/invisible. When the eye is shown in the box, the layer is visible on the page. When the box is empty, the layer is invisible.

Lock Layer

Lock Layer protects the layer from any new annotations. When the padlock is shown in the box, the layer is locked. When the box is empty, it is possible to add Scrapbook elements to the layer.

Layers - Layer List

Each layer has it's own settings. These settings are described in the table below.

Using the Interactive Stylus

The diagram on the left demonstrates what each of the buttons on the Interactive Stylus are used for.

The bottom button (button furthest from the tip) is the Tool Palette button that is used to show and hide the Tool Palette.

The Tool Palette button is also used in gesturing.

Gesture Based Navigation

Gesture Based Navigation (gesturing) is an advanced navigation style that allows you to navigate the various eB eam Tool palette using click-sweep motions of the Interactive Stylus. Gesturing allows you to select between tools and tool properties without needing to have the Interactive Tools palettes visible on the screen.

See the following topics for more information.

Activate Gesture Based Navigation



How Gesturing Works



Mapping a Gesture to a Tool



Mapping a Gesture to a Property



Activate Gesture Based Navigation

To activate gesture based navigation, select the Options button from eBeam Education

Taskbar Menu, and select the Gesture Based Navigation checkbox.

How Gesturing Works

How to Gesture

All gesture selections are performed using the Tool Palette button on the Interactive Stylus without touching the stylus to the projection surface. To gesture, hold the Interactive Stylus so that you can comfortably press the Tool Palette button with your finger.

Gestures can be performed anywhere on the screen area, regardless of the visibility or location of the Tool Palette.

A gesture begins when you press and hold the Tool Palette button and ends when the button is released. The invisible path of motion that is drawn between pressing and releasing the Tool Palette button determines the gesture selection.

Page 81

Page 82

Select a T ool Property

Once you're in the desired tool property, you can make a selection by gesturing a straight line from any given point on the screen to the direction of the desired property and then back again to the starting point, all in one motion.

Switch T o T he Color Property Ring

To switch to the color property, begin a gesture from any given point on the screen and draw a straight line to the left, and then down - forming an approximate 90 degree corner.

Switch to the Line Thickness Property Ring

To switch to the thickness property, begin a gesture from any given point on the screen and draw a straight line to the right, and then down - forming an approximate 90 degree corner.

Switch to the Shapes Property Ring

The Shapes Tool is the only tool that has a shapes property. To switch to the shapes property, begin a gesture from any given point on the screen and

draw a straight line down, and then left OR right - forming an approximate 90 degree corner.

Mapping a Gesture to a Tool

The Tool Palette contains 8 main tools in any environment. One of eight tools can be selected at a time by gesturing a straight line from any point on

the screen to the direction of the desired tool.

Mapping a Gesture to a Tool Property

A tool property is some defining characteristic of a tool. In the case of the properties are pen color and line thickness.

Each tool might also have a property ring that can have from 4 to 8 different selections. For inform ation on how to select a single property from a property ring, see Select a Property.

It is only possible to use one property ring at a time. If you have just gestured to select a color but now want to select line thickness, you must change the property ring. See the following topics for information on how to change between the different property rings.

eBeam Inscribe Wireless Tablet

The eBeam Inscribe wireless tablet allows you to make annotations during presentations or while using Scrapbook using just the wireless pen and tablet and the Tablet Toolbar. You have a number of options for configuring the behavior of the tablet and pen, including

Scrapbook Direct, Standard Mouse Mode, Absolute Mouse Mode and Relative Mouse Mode.

See the following topics:

Installing the Wireless Tablet



Pairing the Tablet



Absolute and Relative Mouse Mode



Standard Mouse Mode



Scrapbook Direct



Using the Tablet Toolbar



Installing the Wireless Tablet

Installing the wireless tablet is a simple two-step process.

1. Install the driver (included on the installation CD or found at http://www.e-beam.com under Downloads).

2. Pair the tablet and your PC .

Pairing the Tablet

Pairing the tablet is the process of establishing communication between your PC and the tablet. You must do this before the tablet will function with your computer.

To pair the tablet

Plug the USB receiver, or key, into a USB port on your PC.

Turn on the wireless tablet by pressing its power button for at least three seconds.

Press the binding button on the back of the tablet and the binding button on the USB

receiver sim ultaneously. Both the LCD display of the tablet and the blue LED of the USB receiver will blink. Once the binding process has finished, notice that the LCD display of the tablet will show

000 to 005. If binding multiple tablets to a PC, each tablet will show a unique three digit number.

Note: You can pair up to five different tablets to your PC.

Absolute and Relative Mouse Mode

There are two ways to control the cursor when using the tablet--Absolute Mouse Mode and Relative Mouse Mode.

In Absolute Mouse Mode (the default setting), the area of the tablet is mapped directly to the screen area. The upper right tablet area equals the upper right corner of screen. When Scrapbook Direct is turned on and you are using Absolute Mouse Mode, the tablet surface maps directly to the Scrapbook page.

In Relative Mouse Mode, the pen and tablet behave the way a mouse typically works, or like a touch pad on a laptop. You can touch down, make a mark, lift up the pen, move it to the left or right, touch down again, and begin moving from the same spot on the screen. There is no direct or literal mapping of the tablet area to the screen workspace.

The Pen Pad control window displays. Under the About tab in the Tracking Mode area, select the Pen (Absolute) or Pen

(Relative) radio button. Select OK. The Pen is now in Absolute Mouse Mode.

Standard Mouse Mode

You can use the wireless tablet and pen in a standard manner to do the tasks you would typically perform with a mouse, such as locating files, selecting items, launching applications, and generally navigating your computer's operating system.

When using the tablet and pen in standard mouse mode, here is what you need to know about using the pen:

Left-click - Pressing the tip of the stylus against the tablet is the equivalent of a



left-click. Right-click - Pressing the button closest to the tip is the equivalent of a right-click.



Double-click - Pressing the button farthest from the tip is the equivalent of a



double-click.

Scrapbook Direct

With Scrapbook Direct turned on, the entire tablet working area is mapped directly to the current Scrapbook page. Since the pen and tablet cannot access anything outside of the current Scrapbook page when Scrapbook Direct is turned on, you can use the pen with the tablet toolbar along the top of the tablet to select different tools rather than changing tools with the eBeam Tool Palette.

To turn on Scrapbook Direct

Begin using the tablet in standard mouse mode.

Launch Scrapbook.

Using the pen and tablet, press the Scrapbook Direct toolbar button on the far right end

of the tablet toolbar. Scrapbook Direct is now on, and the tablet's writing surface is mapped directly to the current Scrapbook page.

Shared Meetings

What is a Shared Meeting?

A Shared Scrapbook Meeting is a meeting that is broadcast over your local intranet or the Internet.

At one location, the meeting coordinator/host uses the interactive system (software and hardware) to host or broadcast the meeting over the network (see Hosting/Sharing a

Meeting). Rem ote participants use the interactive software or a Web browser to log into the

meeting (see Join a Meeting). The meeting is held in real time, which means that remote participants see the notes and

annotations as they are created. If the meeting coordinator allows, participants can annotate meeting pages, highlight

important points, and add notes that can be seen by all other participants as well as the coordinator.

To allow remote participants (located outside of your local network firewall) to access your shared m eeting, the meeting server must be located on the Internet. Luidia currently hosts a meeting server that may be used by any eBeam-enabled interactive system user.

Page 97

Notes

Any notes/comment you would like to include.

Publish Meeting Name

Select Publish Meeting Name if you want the name of the meeting to be visible to netw ork users who are attempting to join a meeting using either the Join Meeting (see Joining a Meeting for more information) dialog box, or the Meetings w eb page located at w ww.e-beam.com.

If you do not publish the name, guests w ill need to know the full meeting name beforehand and manually type it into the Join Meeting dialog box.

Password/ Confirm/Use Password

If a password is required, check the Use Passw ord checkbox and type the same passw ord into both the Password and Confirm text boxes.

The password must be at least 6 characters, and can be up to 20 characters.

Send Meeting Invitation

Meeting invitations are e-mail invitations that are sent out using your standard e-mail client. If Send Meeting Invitation is checked, the Send Invitation dialog box opens once you select the Share Meeting button. See Sending an Invitation for more information.

Hosting/Sharing a Meeting

The following explains how to host/share a meeting over your local intranet or the Internet.

When sharing a meeting, be aware of the following items.

While Scrapbook v2.2 can open files created by previous versions of Scrapbook (v2.1 and



earlier), previous versions of Scrapbook cannot open v2.2 files. During shared meetings, previous versions of Scrapbook do not support (will not display) text boxes created in Scrapbook v2.2. Scrapbook v2.2 will display (but cannot edit) text boxes created by previous versions of Scrapbook.

If hosting a shared meeting using Scrapbook v2.2, we recommend that you select the Deny access to remote participants with mismatched software versions checkbox from the Share Meeting dialog box.

If you share the meeting on your local intranet, only people within your intranet can



access the meeting. If you share your meeting over the Internet (using an eBeam server), participants from any Internet location can access your meeting.

To share a meeting an interactive receiver or software activation must be detected. Also,
