Optional Functions
VGA Slide Show
VGA Slide Show mode operates almost identically to the Slide Show mode,
except for the following operational differences:
■
You should use the
VGA Output
tab in the
Tools
, then
Options...
command to set VGA output-related options. You can also elect to have
IA Presenter perform dithering for your slide if you project your slide to
an external VGA/video device with less color capability (such as only
256 colors available).
■
During VGA Slide Show mode, the presentation output will be directed
to both the Pocket PC’s LCD screen and the external connected VGA
device or video device.
The Pocket PC will always show the reduced size version, while the
VGA/video device will view the original matching dimensions set during
ActiveSync conversion. Or if your current presentation has a dimension
specified which is different from the exact dimension of your selected
output dimension, IA Presenter will automatically re-size the slides to fit
the output dimensions.
■
The Ink annotation will be projected to both the VGA video device and
the LCD screen.
■
You can use
VGA Zoom
on the pop-up menu to designate an area on a
slide during
VGA Slide Show
view, and project that specific area to the
VGA screen (on top of the already-existing projection of the entire
slide). Use the
VGA Zoom Size
command to specify an area of pre-
defined size, or manually drag your stylus on the LCD screen to specify
the desired area of the slide. Then use the
VGA Zoom Ratio
command
to choose the ratio at which you want the zoomed area to be projected.
After the “zoom window” has been created, it can be dragged to
enclose other portions of the slide on your LCD screen, and this
movement will also be reflected in the projected image on the VGA
output.
■
You can use the
VGA Pointer
command on the pop-up menu to enable
movements of your stylus on the LCD screen to simulate a laser pen
light on the VGA screen during VGA Slide Show presentations.
■
In addition to being able to draw digital Ink annotation on your slides,
you can project a black screen to the VGA output and write or draw
projected Ink on it. To use Ink on the blank screen, make sure you are in
Pen
mode on the Slide Show pop-up menu before selecting
Blank
from
the
Screen
submenu.
In addition, before a VGA Slide Show can be projected to a VGA screen,
you must specify the appropriate settings. Select
Options...
from the Tools
Menu, then tap
VGA Output
.
