3D Perception CompactView X10 User Manual

							5.2 Connecting Projectors in a Chain 
Multiple projectors may be connected together in a ‘daisy chain’ by using the input and outpu\
t 
connectors on each projector. 
 
The first projector is connected to the host PC using a 6-lead cable with RJ-12 connectors on 
both ends.  This cable connects to the PC through the supplied adapter (\
9-pin to RJ-12).  The 
other end plugs into the ‘Control Chain in’ port on the first proj\
ector. 
 
From the first projector, another 6-lead cable connects between the ‘Control Chain out’ port\
 on 
the first projector to the ‘Control Chain in’ port on the second p\
rojector.  This chain can be 
extended up to the theoretical limit of 255 projectors in a single chain\
.

							6.2 COMPACTVIEW X10 Remote Control 
 
The COMPACTVIEW X10 remote control provides access to the Main Menu, which in turn 
facilitates control of the various image adjustments and utility functions of the COMPACTVIEW 
X10 projector 
 
Pointing it towards the projection screen operates the remote control. An infrared beam 
bounces from the screen to an infrared receiver on the COMPACTVIEW X10 projector. 
 
NOTE! 
Make sure nothing is blocking the IR receiver in front of projector located beside the 
lens, as this will prevent the communication between the remote control and the 
COMPACTVIEW X10 projector.  
 
To ensure smooth operation, the combined distance from the remote contro\
l to the 
screen and back to the projector should not exceed 10 meters (33 ft). \
If the distance via 
the screen is longer, you should point the remote control directly towards the IR receiver. 
 
The remote control works with Macintosh and with Microsoft Windows, for interactive distance 
control of your computer. A unique pressure-sensing pad on the remote ma\
kes it very easy to 
control.  
 
The Remote control is very easy to operate. It has only six keys in addition to the pressure 
sensing mouse pad.

							6.3 Using the touch panel on the COMPACTVIEW X10 projector 
 
The touch panel gives you direct access to the most important functions \
of the COMPACTVIEW 
X10 projector. It is very handy to use when the remote control has low batt\
eries, or you simply 
have forgotten to bring it with you. Remember, these controls are also available from the 
software. The key functions are as follows: 
 
Source 
The COMPACTVIEW X10 projector has direct keys for input 
selection, PC being the norm. 
 
 
Brightness  
The Brightness key is used to control the brightness in 
data and video image.  
 
Contrast 
The Contrast key is used to control the contrast in data 
and video image.

The stand by key will set the COMPACTVIEW 
X10 projector in stand by mode. The lamp 
will turn off, and the fans will run for a little 
while cooling the projector before stopping. 
To return to normal mode, press the Stand 
by key once more, or press the Menu key 
on the remote control. 
 
 
 
Automatic set-up

small feet underneath the product. 
 
NOTE! 
The COMPACTVIEW X10 projector should never be left with an angle of more than 15 
degrees over a longer period of time. This will shorten the lifetime of the lamp.
