1.1 Introduction
Overview
Projector Toolset is a software tool to set up, con fi gure, manage and control Barco projectors.
The concept of this Projector Toolset software is modular. The basic package can be extended with sev-
eral optional device plug-in modules, now and in the future available.
The Projector Toolset software works with con fi gurations that can be loaded. Within a con fi guration, differ-
ent snapshots can be taken. A snapshot represents a current state of a con fi guration and can be reloaded
to return to this typical state. These terms will be used through the complete software.
Projector Toolset is a stand-alone application that runs on a Java Virtual Machine and that does not require
extra services to run.
Several con fi gurations can be controlled simultaneously. Even when the con fi gurations are connected via
different ways.
1.2 About a Con fi guration
What is a Con fi guration?
A Con fi guration is a collection of projectors with all their current settings, connected to a computer. A
con fi guration can contain different settings, called snapshots, for all the projectors in the con fi guration.
1.3 About a Snapshot
What is a Snapshot?
A Snapshot is collection of settings of a con fi guration. Such a snapshot represents the current state of a
con fi guration.
A snapshot can contain all settings or speci fi c settings as input settings, lamp settings, layout settings or
projector settings. When restoring a snapshot, only the stored settings will be restored. The others remain
on their current value.
1.4 About storing Con fi gurations and Snapshots

All information is stored by default in the install directory of Projector Toolset in the subdirectory Workspace .
