Panel

The monitor and projection panel should be powered-up before
the computer, so that the computer senses the display(s) during its
boot-up sequence. When POWER is pressed to turn the panel on,
the POWER light illuminates. If the key is pressed again, the light
goes out and power is off.

Note: If the projection panel is on top of a lighted projector, a

sensor turns on the fan as a precaution to prevent overheating,
even if the panel’s power is Off.

CAUTION! Never operate the projection panel if the cooling

slots are clogged or obstructed, or if the electric fan inside the unit
has failed. Never unplug the power cord while it is still on top of a
lighted projector.

The projection panel is simple to operate and can be controlled
several different ways. The projection panel’s menus can be
accessed and controlled via the Control Panel, the Remote
Control, a Microsoft-compatible mouse or the optional Cyclops.

The panel’s LightBoard function can be controlled with the
optional Cyclops or a Microsoft-compatible mouse. The
Presentation Control Software can be controlled using the
Remote Control.

The Control Panel and Remote Control

The Control Panel and Remote Control provide access to all of
the projection panel’s functions and modes. Simply press a key to
select a function or to move through the menus.

Using a Microsoft-Compatible Mouse

A Microsoft-compatible mouse can be used to control the menu
and the LightBoard tool in Local Mode and as a system mouse in
Host Mode (see page 3-7). The mouse must be connected to the
serial port on the projection panel before powering up the panel.

Note: A Microsoft mouse driver must be loaded and running

on the computer system for Host Mode functions. In addition, in
order to control the host computer with Cyclops or with a mouse
attached to the panel, an optional data cable must be attached
between the panel and the computer. Contact your dealer to
purchase the appropriate data cable.

Chapter 3 • Using the Projection Panel

Operating Modes

The panel and its control devices can operate in two modes: Local
Mode and Host Mode.

Local Mode

Anytime the panel’s menus or LightBoard are activated, the panel
is in Local Mode.

In Local Mode, the projection panel mouse or the optional
Cyclops is used for projection panel menu and LightBoard
functions only; it does not communicate with the computer.

In Local Mode, the projection panel mouse or Cyclops can be
used to:

• Move through an open projection panel menu.

• Select items in an open projection panel menu.

• Control the LightBoard cursor.

User’s Guide • 3–7

Chapter 3 • Using the Projection Panel

Host Mode

If a mouse or Cyclops and a data cable are connected to the panel,
it can also operate in the Host Mode. Host Mode can only be
used when the panel’s menu and LightBoard are not active. This
means that the panel and its control devices are communicating
directly with the host computer.

In Host Mode, the projection panel mouse functions as the
system mouse. It communicates with the computer and controls
the screen cursor for all computer functions.

• If the projection panel’s I/O port is sensed first during the
computer’s start-up, the projection panel mouse becomes the
system mouse and the computer mouse is not seen.

• If the computer mouse is seen first and the user wants the
panel mouse to be the system mouse, the user must switch the
mouse and projection panel ports and restart the computer.

• If you are in Host Mode and the panel menus or LightBoard
are selected, the projection panel mouse is forced to Local
mode operation until those functions are turned off.

Please refer to the Cyclops 2050 User Guide for projection panel
Host Mode mouse operation with a Cyclops module installed.

Chapter 3 • Using the Projection Panel

As described in Audio Connections (see p. 2-11), you can
incorporate audio into your presentation in a variety of ways. In
order to configure your system, follow the instructions below.

Stereo Audio

If you wish to use a source with true stereo audio output,
complete the following steps:

1. Open the Input Source menu and access Source Select.

2. Choose the source (e.g. Video).

3. Open the Audio menu and access Source.

4. Choose Stereo.
The source you chose under the Input Source menu (in this case,

Video) will now accept and output stereo audio.
If you will be using another video source (e.g. Computer), but do

not want any audio associated with it, complete the following
additional steps:

5. Return to the Input Source menu and access Source Select.

6. Choose the source (e.g. Computer) you will be using without
any audio.

7. Open the Audio menu and access Mute.

8. Select Mute.

When you close the menus, the settings will be saved. In the
above example, the panel will activate stereo audio when you
select your Video source and will mute all audio when you select
your Computer source.

User’s Guide • 3–21

Mono Audio

If you are using a monaural source but wish to simulate stereo
output, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Input Source menu and access Source Select.

2. Choose the source (e.g. Video).

3. Open the Audio menu and access Source.

4. If the monaural source is connected to the AUDIO IN Left
connector (see page 2-12), choose Left. If the monaural
source is connected to the AUDIO IN Right connector (as in
this example), choose Right.

The source you chose under the Input Source menu (in this case,
Video) will now accept monaural input and will output simulated
stereo audio.

If you will be using another video source (e.g. Computer), but do
not want any audio associated with it, complete the following
additional steps:

5. Return to the Input Source menu and access Source Select.

6. Choose the source (e.g. Computer) you will be using without
any audio.
