Starter Kit 

 
4D  Systems  highly  recommends  all  first  time  buyers 
of  4D  Systems’  displays,  to  purchase  the  Starter  Kit 
when  purchasing  their  first  4D  Systems  display 
solution. 
 
The  Starter  Kit  provides  all  the  hardware  that  is 
required to get the User up and running. 
 
Not  all  development  environments  and  features  will 
be  needed  by  every  User.  However,  by  purchasing 
the display solution in a Starter Kit allows you to take 
full advantage of all of the features of the 4D Systems 
Display  Solution  and  try  out  each  of  the  4D 
Woskshop4  Environments  prior  to  settling  with  the 
preferred feature-set. 
 
The  Designer  environment  can  utilise  every  feature 
of  the  display,  however  depending  on  the  user 
requirements,  a  micro-SD  (uSD)  card  may  not  be 
required.  The  uSD  card  is  used  when  displaying 
images/video/sound,  along  with  datalogging  to  uSD, 
and  a  programming  cable  or  adaptor  is  required  for 
downloading  compiled  code  and  PmmC/Firmware 
updates. 
 
The  ViSi  environment  is  the  same  as  Designer  in 
terms  of  feature  utilisation,  but  is  image  based  so 
requires a uSD card, along with a programming cable. 
 
The ViSi-Genie environment is also image based, and 
therefore requires a uSD card and programming cable 
also. 
 
The Serial environment does not require either a uSD 
or  Programming  cable  to  be  used  once  the  module 
has been configured as a Serial device, however can 
utilise both depending on the user requirements. The 
uSD card can be used for such things as storage and 
display  of  multimedia  files,  datalogging,  and  the 
Programming  cable  for  PmmC/Firmware  updates,  or 
changing  to  one  of  the  other  three  programming 
environments. 
 
Starter Kits typically include: 

 

Gen4 Integrated Display Module 

 

Gen4 Interface Module (gen4-IB) 

 

Gen4 Programming Adaptor (gen4-PA) 

 

4GB micro-SD Card 

 

150mm 30 way FFC Cable 

 

150mm  5-way  ribbon  cable  for  easy 
connection  to  a  breadboard  or  host  via  the 
gen4-IB 

 

Quick Start Guide 

 

Please  refer  to  the  4D  Systems  website  for  current 
components included in the Starter Kit.  
Simply select the Starter Kit  option when purchasing 
the  chosen  display  module  on  the  4D  Systems 
shopping cart, or from your local distributor.
