Chapter 3 • Using the Projection Panel
Host Mode
If a mouse or Cyclops and a data cable are connected to the panel,
it can also operate in the Host Mode. Host Mode can only be
used when the panel’s menu and LightBoard are not active. This
means that the panel and its control devices are communicating
directly with the host computer.
In Host Mode, the projection panel mouse functions as the
system mouse. It communicates with the computer and controls
the screen cursor for all computer functions.
• If the projection panel’s I/O port is sensed first during the
computer’s start-up, the projection panel mouse becomes the
system mouse and the computer mouse is not seen.
• If the computer mouse is seen first and the user wants the
panel mouse to be the system mouse, the user must switch the
mouse and projection panel ports and restart the computer.
• If you are in Host Mode and the panel menus or LightBoard
are selected, the projection panel mouse is forced to Local
mode operation until those functions are turned off.
Please refer to the Cyclops 2050 User Guide for projection panel
Host Mode mouse operation with a Cyclops module installed.
