INTRODUCTION

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.

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

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.

INSTALL THE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE.

1.Push the tab and lift off the battery cover.

2.Insert four AAA alkaline batteries, taking care to match the + and - marks in the battery compartment.

After connecting up the hardware, and installing the batteries in the remote you can turn your PC on. The ShowTime mini application (shown on page 9) appears on your PC’s desktop. It is recommend that you select Demo before you do anything else. The Demo is interactive so make sure you 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.
