INTRODUCTION
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
Your ShowTime™ Wireless Photo Video Sender kit consists of a Sender
which connects to the VGA output and audio out jack on your PC, and a
Receiver which you connect to your TV. It includes a software program
that you install from X10’s Web Site. You control the Photo Sender and
software using a remote control (included). The Sender converts the VGA
video from your PC's video card and the audio signal from your PC’s sound
card, into wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals and transmits them (even
through walls) to the Receiver. The Receiver converts the signals back to
their original form and passes them to your TV. The software application
lets you view digital photos stored on your computer's hard drive, on any TV
in your home.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To use the ShowTime Photo Sender system your PC must have a USB port,
a VGA out port (that normally connects to your external monitor).
Maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536, but 800 x 600 is recommended. A
sound card with mono or stereo output is optional. An adapter is supplied for
use with a laptop with no external monitor.
FCC CAUTION

OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS:
(1 ) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND
(2 ) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING
INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly,
that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions, it may cause interference to
radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for
remote control devices in accordance with the specifications in Sub-Parts B and C of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a

which can be determined by unplugging the equipment, try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures.
• Reorient the antenna of the radio/TV experiencing the interference.
• Relocate the equipment with respect to the radio/TV.
• Move the equipment away from the radio/TV.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet on a different electrical circuit from the radio/TV
experiencing the interference.
• If necessary, consult your local Dealer for additional suggestions.
NOTE: Modifications to this product will void the user ’s authority to operate this equipment.
Before you install the software, unpack the hardware components and have
the Sender (Model VT37A) near your PC ready to connect it up when the
ShowTime software installation program instructs you to do so.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT connect the USB connector before you
install the software.
Log on to the Internet and go to the web address in the e-mail you received
when your order was confirmed (or visit www.x10.com/software). There
you will be able to install the software (you need to be connected to the
Internet while you install the software). Follow the instructions to install it.
At the appropriate point in the installation you will be instructed to plug the
Sender's USB connector into your PC’s USB port. When you do this,
Windows® will tell you it has found new hardware and will automatically
install the X10 USB driver for the Sender. Follow the instructions to
complete the software installation.

After connecting up the hardware, and installing the batteries in the remote

install the batteries in the remote and connect all the hardware to your PC
before you turn it back on. Follow the steps on page 6 before turning your
PC back on. You don't need to connect the Receiver to your TV yet if you
don't want to, but if you would like to see the demo on your TV rather than
just on your PC screen then follow the steps on pages 7 and 8.
