Introduction

The MediaExpress™ Image Display System is a hybrid, next-generation
product that brings the functionality of computers and projectors much
closer together.

The MediaExpress system eliminates the need to hook a computer up to the
projector. Just print your presentation from whatever application you’re
using to a special kind of file (called a .PDF file), copy or store the file on a
disk, then place the disk in the MediaExpress disk drive and start the show.

You can also develop a slideshow from any popular graphics product, then
save the presentation as a .PDF file. This lets you use your existing files and
training—there’s no need to learn a new presentation tool.

This unique technology is the result of a strategic relationship between
Proxima and Adobe Systems Incorporated. Adobe® is a leader in electronic
document products, specializing in tools that make communicating and
sharing information easier and more immediate.

ABOUT ACROBAT® EXCHANGE

™

In order to run your presentations from a disk, you must convert them to
.PDF files. You’ll use the Adobe Acrobat Exchange program that was
included in your MediaExpress package to do this. In most cases it's as
simple as choosing the Print command in your source application, then
choosing the .PDF driver as your printer. Instead of printing the document
on your printer, you print the document to a .PDF file, which is in a special
format that the MediaExpress system can use. You then copy that file to a
disk and place it into the MediaExpress disk drive.

The Acrobat Exchange program is very full-featured; for the sake of brevity,
this User's Guide only explains those features that you need to use in order to
save your presentations in .PDF format. We suggest that you review the
online help files that are included in this product to explore the numerous
other features of Acrobat Exchange.

Note: The Proxima Adobe Acrobat Exchange software has additional
features not found in other versions of Acrobat Exchange.

HOW TO GET STARTED

To get started, install the MediaExpress hardware and Acrobat Exchange
software. Refer to the MediaExpress Installation Card that came with your
MediaExpress kit for hardware installation instructions. Refer to the next
section for software installation instructions.

Installing the Acrobat Exchange Presenter and
Optimizer Plug-Ins (Macintosh Only)

Your MediaExpress package comes with two special plug-ins designed to
make your presentations even simpler and more effective. The Acrobat
Exchange Presenter plug-in provides you with a variety of transition effects
and special tools that allow you to create MediaExpress presentations on
your computer—without having to use your projector. Acrobat Exchange
Presenter also has transition effects and other tools that make your
presentations more attractive and effective.

The Optimizer plug-in reduces the size of your PDF files, making them even
easier to transport and display.

If you have a Macintosh, you need to install the plug-ins from a separate
disk. If you are a Windows 3.x or Windows 95 user, the plug-ins are
automatically installed with the Acrobat Exchange software.

Chapter 2

Giving presentations

Now that you've created a presentation, this chapter shows you how to run
it using the Cyclops® remote control, wand, or optional laser pointer. In
order to give a presentation, the MediaExpress hardware must be installed
and connected to the projector.

QUICK ST ART

Note: There are times when it might be helpful for you to preview your slide

show on your computer. You can preview a slide show with the Slide Show
option in Adobe Acrobat Exchange. Click Slide Show or choose Slide and
Slide Show. Your slide show will display on your computer exactly as it will
using the MediaExpress system. Press the ESC key on your keyboard to stop
the slide show.

When you’re ready to start your presentation, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the projector. If the MediaExpress title screen is not shown, press
the key once, or the Source key until it appears.

2. Press the MouseDisk to bring up the Presentation Selector dialog box.

3. Press the edges of the MouseDisk or the Forward/Reverse keys to move to

4. Double-click the PDF file (or select the name of the file and click Run).
You’ll see the Presentation Options Dialog box.

NAVIGATING IN THE MEDIAEXPRESS DIALOG BOXES

Before you can play your presentation, you should understand how to
navigate through the MediaExpress system. This section details how to use
the Cyclops remote, wand, or laser pointer to navigate through the various
MediaExpress dialog boxes.

The MediaExpress system was designed to be used with the Cyclops remote
control, wand, or laser pointer. If you temporarily misplace your Cyclops
remote control or wand during a presentation, you can perform most
actions using the keys on the projector’s control panel (see Appendix A).

Giving Presentations

2-1

You will use three dialog boxes to work with your presentation: one to
choose the file, one to adjust the sequence of the slides, and a third to adjust
timing and add transition effects.

There are only a few keys on the Cyclops remote control that you’ll use to
navigate and make selections: the MouseDisk and the forward/reverse keys.
A few simple actions are all you need to know.

Many of the dialog boxes and commands in Acrobat Exchange are identical
to those in the MediaExpress system. You can use your computer's mouse
just like the Cyclops remote, wand, or optional laser pointer to navigate
through the screens.

Keys on the Cyclops remote control

• To select a button, checkbox, or list box, or any item in a list box, press
the edges of the MouseDisk to point to the item. You can also use the
forward and reverse buttons to select a file or slide in a list box.

• To click a button or check a checkbox (once you’ve pointed to it), press
the center of the MouseDisk.

Please study the following illustration before you continue—you may want
to explore a bit on your own in order to get comfortable with the Cyclops
remote control.

Zooming a slide

To zoom in on part of a slide, just drag a box around that area of the slide.
You can zoom as many times as you want. Click the MouseDisk once to
return the slide to normal magnification (or click the Return button on the
Toolbar).

Be careful not to start the drag operation on top of a hot link; if you do, the
MediaExpress system will jump to the linked slide. (When the pointer is on
a link, the cursor changes from an arrow to a hand.)

To zoom a slide:

1. Press and hold the center of the MouseDisk for at least one second, or
press the Cyclops wand button or high-intensity laser.

2. Drag your cursor (a selection box will appear as you drag) to select the
area to zoom.

3. Release the Cyclops wand button or deactivate the high-intensity laser, or
click the center of the MouseDisk to zoom.

4. Click the center of the MouseDisk again, or press the Cyclops wand
button or high-intensity laser to return to normal view.

Jumping to other slides using hot links

Some application programs let you add “hot” buttons—buttons that jump
to specific (usually related) slides within the same file. The MediaExpress
system supports these hot links.

If your presentation includes hot links, just click them to jump to the
designated screen. To return from a jump, press the Pause key (or click the
Return button in the Toolbar).

Note: If the slide is set to automatically advance, you must click the Return
button on the Toolbar—pressing the Pause button will just suspend the
slide’ s timer.

Customizing presentations

Once you install the MediaExpress hardware in your projector and create a
.PDF file, you’re ready to customize your presentation. This chapter shows
how to rearrange slides in a slide show, add transitions, and adjust timing.

Some of the steps discussed in this chapter can be performed using the
MediaExpress system, the Acrobat Exchange Presenter plug-in, or both. The
text indicates steps that are exclusive to either one.

There are two convenient ways to customize your presentation:

• Use the MediaExpress system and the Cyclops remote to customize your
presentation while it displays through your projector.

• Use the Acrobat Exchange Presenter plug-in to add transitions, adjust
timing, or rearrange slides on your computer before you start your
presentation. You then copy the presentation to a PC-formatted disk and
play it in the MediaExpress disk drive.

To use the MediaExpress system to perform the steps in this chapter:

1. Plug in the projector and turn it on.

2. If the MediaExpress title screen is not shown, press the Source key on the
remote control until the MediaExpress title screen appears.

3. Place the disk containing the .PDF file into the MediaExpress disk drive
(PC-formatted disks only).

4. Press the MouseDisk to bring up the Presentation Selector dialog box.

To use Acrobat Exchange Presenter, install the plug-in (See the Introduction
to this User's Guide), turn on your computer, and start the Acrobat Exchange
program.

WORKING WITH YOUR PRESENTATION

Use the Slide Sorter to rearrange slides and set slide transitions and timing.
The Slide Sorter in MediaExpress mode is very similar to the Slide Sorter in
the included Acrobat Exchange software. Most of the steps explained in this
section apply to both the MediaExpress system and the Acrobat Exchange
software. The only difference is that you use your computer's mouse instead
of the Cyclops remote, wand, or optional laser pointer.

Follow these steps to select a presentation file and switch to the Slide Sorter
dialog box:

1. In the Presentation Selector, select the desired .PDF file.

2. Click Modify.

The Slide Sorter

Before you begin, examine the Slide Sorter dialog box.

2. The four arrow buttons let you move quickly between the slides. You can
go to the first, previous, next, and last slides, respectively.

3. Select All and Deselect All let you work with the entire slide show. These
buttons help you assign common transitions or timing to all slides.

4. Multiple Select Mode lets you select individual slides or work with
several slides as a group. This is useful when you want to modify or move
several slides at once.

Note: Multiple Select Mode is automatically turned off when you click
Deselect All.

5. The action buttons on the right of the screen let you customize the
presentation.

6. The Close-up window shows an enlarged version of the current slide.
Double-click this window to display your slide show. This window also
previews each slide’s transition effect as you move among the slides in the
list box.

Selecting slides

When you choose one of the four action buttons in the lower group
(Transition, Hide, View, or Move), the operation will be carried out on
either the current slide or on a group of slides that you select. Selecting
slides is easy; follow the steps in the box below.

Selecting slides with the remote control

• To select a single slide, press the edges of the MouseDisk to point to the
slide, then press the center of the MouseDisk (or just press forward or
reverse until you reach the slide).

• To select several slides, turn on Multiple Select Mode, then press the edges
of the MouseDisk to point to each slide and press the center of the
MouseDisk.

• If you prefer to drag select several slides at once, move the pointer above
the first slide in the group, press the center of the MouseDisk for at least
one second, then drag a selection box around all of the desired slides.
Click again to exit the drag operation.

Customizing Presentations

Selecting a single slide

The current slide has a blue background in the label. To select a different
slide, point to the slide and press the MouseDisk or Cyclops wand button,
or activate the high-intensity laser spot.

Selecting multiple slides

To select multiple slides so that you can move or modify them as a group,
just turn on Multiple Select Mode, then select each slide, one at a time with
the Cyclops remote (press the edges of the MouseDisk to reach a slide, then
press the center of the MouseDisk), wand, or optional laser pointer. Selected
slides are surrounded by a blue outline.

If you select a slide by mistake, choose it again to “deselect” it.

Note: Selected slides have a blue outline around them. This is different from
the current slide, which has a blue label. A slide can be selected yet not be
the current slide.

Dragging to select multiple slides

To drag select consecutive slides, start just before the first slide in the group,
then drag a selection box around the slides you want. When you release the
selection box, a blue outline appears around each slide in the group you
chose.

3-4

Chapter Three

Note: After you finish, it’s a good idea to turn Multiple Select Mode off.

Dragging is easy—just click and drag as you would with a mouse.
To drag select several slides, follow these steps:

1. Use the Cyclops remote control, wand, or optional laser pointer to move
the mouse pointer above and to the left of the first slide that you want to
select.

2. Press the MouseDisk for at least one second then release, or press and
hold the Cyclops wand button or high-intensity laser.

3. Press the edges of the MouseDisk, or move the Cyclops wand or laser
pointer while holding down the button, to move to the last slide that you
want to select. As you drag, the box expands, as shown in Figure 3-2.

Dragging slides to a new position

If you prefer, you can drag a slide (or group of slides) to a new position. To
drag a slide or slides to a new position, follow these steps:

1. Select the slide or group of slides (see page 3-4).

2. Point to the slide’s label (or the label of one of the selected slides) and
press the MouseDisk for at least one second then release, or press and
hold the Cyclops wand button or high-intensity laser. The mouse pointer
changes to an arrow with a page.

Note: You must drag the label, not the slide.

3. Press the edges of the MouseDisk to move the slide or slides. An insertion
bar (a vertical bar between slides) indicates where the slides will be
placed, as shown in Figure 3-3.

To scroll, just move the cursor above or below the list box. (You can’t click
a scroll bar while dragging a slide.)

4. When the slides are in the desired location, press and release the
MouseDisk, Cyclops wand button, or high-intensity laser once quickly.

5. Click Save to sa ve your changes.

Hiding slides and inserting blank pages

There are times when you might want to hide certain slides in your
presentation. For example, if you converted a user's guide or a piece of
marketing literature to a PDF file, there may be parts of your document that
you do not want to display. Copyright pages, acknowledgments, or tables of
contents are the sorts of pages that you'll probably want to hide for your
presentations. You can hide and unhide slides one at a time, or as a group.

You may also want to insert blank pages to act as dividers if your
presentation falls into sections.

To hide pages or display hidden pages:

1. In the Slide list box, select the slide (or slides) that you want to hide.

Note: In Acrobat Exchange use Slide Sorter view to select the thumbnails
you want to hide or show.

2. Click Hide. The slide still appears in the slide list box, but with a large “X”
through it, as shown in Figure 3-4.

Inserting Blank Pages

You can also use the Acrobat Exchange Slide Sorter to insert blank pages:

1. In the Acrobat Exchange software, select the thumbnail (not the page

number) for the page after which you want a blank page to appear. The
Color Picker dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to select a color for
your blank page.

2. In the Color Picker dialog box, select a color for the page and click OK. A

blank page is inserted after the current slide.

Viewing slides

You can run your presentation from the Slide Sorter to check your changes.
Select the slide (or slides) you want to view, then click View (or double-click
the Close-up window).

The Presentation Options dialog box appears, with the current slide (or the
first selected slide) as the “from” slide, and the last slide in the file (or the
last selected slide) as the “to” slide. See Chapter 2 for an explanation of how
to advance through the slides in your presentation.

Note: When you are ready to give your presentation, we recommend that
you go to the Presentation Selector and start the presentation from there.

Saving your changes

After you’ve customized your presentation, click Save in the Slide Sorter to
save your changes before you exit. If you choose Exit before saving recent
changes, you’re prompted to save those changes.

Adding transition effects and timing

Transitions are special effects that determine how a slide appears on the
screen. If you assigned transition effects through your application software,
such as Freelance or PowerPoint, those transitions will not work with the
MediaExpress system. However, you can use Acrobat Exchange to assign
transition effects to your presentation prior to showing it in the
MediaExpress system.

Acrobat Exchange is the best and easiest way to assign transition effects to
your presentation. It's the convenient way to work on your presentation
while traveling to your destination, or before you leave the office.

If you have an existing MediaExpress presentation, or you don't have access
to your computer, you can assign transition effects in the MediaExpress
system—without using your computer. Simply press the Transition button
in the Slide Sorter and assign effects to the selected slides.

Customizing Presentations

3-9

There are many transitions available in the Acrobat Exchange software and
the MediaExpress system. Most transition effects are self-explanatory; here
are brief descriptions:

EFFECT NAME RESULT

Random Assigns transitions to each slide at random.
Blinds vertical, Opens slats onto the screen.

horizontal
Box in, out Opens the screen to or from the center.
Dissolve Dissolves the slide.
Glitter right, Wipes the screen from one side to the other, with sparkling

down, across effects.
Split horizontal Peels the screen to or from the middle.

in, out; Split
vertical in, out

Wipe left, right, Wipes the screen from one side to the other.
up and down

You can tell which transition is designated for the current slide by looking at
the Close-up window. As you move among the slides in the list box, the
Close-up window displays each slide’s transition effect.

3-10

Chapter Three

To set (or change) a slide’s transition in the MediaExpress system:

1. In the Slide Sorter, select the slide(s) you want to change.

2. Click Transition.

3. Select the desired transition effect.

open the Transition Editor:

1. In the Slide Sorter, select the slide(s) you want to change.

2. Click Transition in the Slide Sorter or choose Slide and Transition.

3. Select the desired transition effect.

The Transition Editor

The Transition Editor is where you assign transition effects to slides and set
how (and when) the presentation advances to the next slide.

Note: These settings determine how the slide arrives on the screen, not how
it leaves the screen.

how long it remains on the screen. Slow = 2 seconds, Medium = 1 second,
Fast = less than 1 second.

3. The Advance setting controls whether the slide advances automatically or
manually. If you choose Automatic, indicate how many seconds you want
the slide to remain on the screen before the presentation advances to the
next slide.

Other Acrobat Exchange Tools

You can use Acrobat Exchange to further customize the look and feel of your
presentation. With Acrobat Exchange, you can crop and rotate pages or play
a slide show on your computer.

Cropping pages

3-12

Chapter Three

Your PDF file may have areas of unnecessary white space, or may include
printer's marks—especially if your document was originally designed to be
printed. You can use the Crop Page button to resize a document according
to a printed page's crop marks, adjust the page margins of all the pages in a
PDF file, or define different margins for different pages.

To adjust page margins:

1. In Slide Sorter view in Acrobat Exchange , click Crop Pages. The Crop
Pages dialog box appears.

2. Enter the size for the top, bottom, left, and right margins. As you enter
the new sizes, lines will appear to indicate the new margins. You can also
click the arrows to adjust the margins.

3. When you are satisfied with your changes, enter the pages to which the
new margins should apply.

4. Click OK.

Rotating Pages

You can rotate selected pages or all of the pages in a PDF file. For example,
you might want to rotate a page from a document that was originally
designed to be printed in portrait mode so that it displays as a landscape
page.

To rotate one or more pages:

1. In the Slide Sorter in Acrobat Exchange, click Rotate Pages. The Rotate
Pages dialog box appears.

2. Select either Left, to rotate the pages 90 degrees counterclockwise, or
Right to rotate them 90 degrees clockwise.

3. Enter the pages you want to rotate.

4. Click OK.

Controls

There are three ways to control the MediaExpress system, your computer,
and your projector:

• The included Cyclops remote control.

• The optional Cyclops camera system with the wand or optional laser
pointer.

• The control panel on your projector.

Chapter 2 has a detailed explanation of how to control the MediaExpress
system using the included remote or the optional Cyclops camera system.

THE CYCLOPS REMOTE CONTROL

The easiest and most convenient way to work with the MediaExpress system
is using the included remote control. The remote has the following keys:

KEY FUNCTION

Source Cycles to start the MediaExpress system.

PROG2/ Exits a presentation. Also brings up the initial MediaExpress

screen. Selects the buttons outlined in blue on your screen.

MouseDisk Moves the cursor through the MediaExpress screens and dialog

boxes. Acts as a mouse click when you press the center of the

button.
Forward/Reverse Moves forward or backward through your presentation.
Pause/Return Freezes a slide show that contains automatic advancing. Also

returns from a link or zoom if automatic advance is not set for a

slide.

Controls

A-1

CONTROL PANEL

All Proxima projectors have a control panel that you can use to work with
the MediaExpress system if you forget or lose your Cyclops remote. Use the
following keys to work with your MediaExpress presentation:

KEY FUNCTION

Left/Right Arrows Navigate between buttons, list boxes, menus, and slides. In a slide

show, this button navigates backwards and forwards through your
presentation.

Up/Down Arrows Navigate within list boxes and move sliders and scroll bars.

Works like a mouse click or return key on your keyboard. Selects
buttons and check boxes. If you have a DP4100 or DP4200, this
button also starts Media Express.
