DVI is a 100% digital output. It is the output with the highest

quality (resolution and color).

With a DVI connection the Visualizer can check the technical

data of the display unit connected to the Visualizer (for the

"Auto resolution" function). #30 USB port

The USB port can be used for quickly scanning pictures from

the Visualizer into a PC. Connect the USB port of the

Visualizer to the USB port of your PC.

For installing the USB software you can use the enclosed CD-

ROM, but we recommend that you first check on the Internet

When the display unit is connected to the Visualizer using this

output (or the DVI-output #36) the "Auto resolution

#34 EXTERNAL Input for Computers

Connect the monitor output of your computer with this input. Use the EXT/INT key (#24) to switch between the image of the Visualizer and the image of your computer. The behaviour of the Ext/Int-mode can be changed in the on-screen menu.

#35 RGB output (BNC connectors)

Use this output to connect the Visualizer to your display unit (data projector, monitor, video conferencing system etc.) if you can not make a connection with a D-Sub cable (RGB output #33). The disadvantage of this output is that the "Auto resolution" function does not work here. The advantage is that BNC cables are better for long cable runs. You can change the sync settings in the on-screen menu of the Visualizer.

#36 PAL/NTSC Y/C (S-Video) output VZ-C32 only

Please note that the picture quality of both PAL/NTSC video outputs (#36 and #37) is NOT AS GOOD as the picture quality of the data outputs (#29, #32, #33 and #35). This is because of the limitations of the PAL/ NTSC video system and because of the fact that this is just a converted Progressive Scan signal and not an original video signal. Switching between PAL and NTSC can be done in the onscreen menu of the Visualizer.

#37 PAL/NTSC Composite video output VZ-C32 only

Only use this output if you have no other option. It offers the lowest quality. Use the Y/C (S-video) output (#36) for PAL/NTSC video if possible!

#38 Ethernet / LAN port

Connect the LAN port of the Visualizer to the LAN port of the PC (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). With an Internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, etc.) you can control the Visualizer and transfer images. A dedicated Ethernet/LAN manual can be downloaded from the WolfVision homepage at:

www.wolfvision.com/support

#39 External IR-receiver port

In some rooms the 3 built-in infrared receivers of the Ceiling Visualizer may not be enough. In this case connect the supplied external infrared receiver to the IR-sensor plug (#39) and position the IR-sensor somewhere on the ceiling (or in the room) where the users normally point the remote control at.

Make sure that the glass is always kept clean in order to prevent bright and hazy spots in the picture!
