Installation
Before starting, review the precautions on page 8.
To install the VideoMate 6100, proceed as follows:
1. Unwind the power cord under the base of the unit and
plug it into a suitable power source.
2. Connect the cable to your peripheral equipment
(TV monitor, video projector, etc.). The connection is a
4-PIN MiniDin for Y/C (S-Video) or a 15-PIN HD
monitor cable for digital.
3. Load the slide tray and “power-up” all equipment
4. Switch the power switch to HIGH.
5. Adjust the iris (I) and TV monitor controls to produce
satisfactory image. Select a darker slide to adjust the
iris if necessary. The goal is to reach a compromise
position.
6. Adjust the focus (F) to produce a clear image.
NOTE: Opening the iris will decrease depth of field. This
means that the darker slides, you will open the iris more
and will be able to judge focus more critically; but, it also
means that any deformities in the slide will cause a
visible “out-of-focus” condition.
7. Adjust the zoom lens control located in the front. This
zoom lens can be zoomed in on slides for increased
magnification.
8. To shut the system down, hold the select bar down
and rotate the slide tray to the zero index position.
Set the power switch to OFF.
9. For instructions on setting up slide trays, changing
lamps, etc., refer to the appropriate sections of this
manual.
NOTE: Video connections should only be made to the
source being utilized.
