Built-in Digital Scaler (for Extern-in and USB-Stick)
The Visualizer has a built-in digital image scaler which can process the signal from the external input and
output it in the same mode as the Visualizer image (For example: If the Visualizer is set to output an 1080p
(FullHD) image to the projector and the computer outputs an XGA signal, the scaler of the Visualizer
converts the XGA image of the computer to 1080p. As a result the projector does not readjust the input
mode when switching between the Visualizer and computer image).
In addition images on a connected USB-stick are automatically scaled to the current output mode of the
Visualizer.
The output resolution of the Visualizer can be changed in the on-screen menu (see page 16).
Integrated Seamless Switch
The Visualizer has an integrated Seamless Switch.
This allows for a seamless transition (fade-over/dissolve effect) when switching between the Visualizer
image, the image from the external input, the internal image memory of the Visualizer and images on an
USB-stick. This feature makes switching from one media to the other appear very smooth and professional.
The behavior of the Visualizer can be changed in the on-screen menu (see page 16).
The Picture in Picture Mode offers the possibility to show two different
pictures at the same time on one screen. Just press
to activate the Picture in Picture mode. The current picture (i.e.
external signal, image memory) will be shown in the lower left corner
and the live image will be shown in the upper right corner. The size of
the live image is much bigger.
The content of the live image can be changed i.e. by recalling a stored
image memory.
Following comparisons are possible: HDMI-In, image memory, live
image. The content from the small image is frozen, except when the
signal from the HDMI-In is shown.

USB Device Port (to the computer)
The USB device port
can be used for direct connections between the Visualizer and a computer. This
way, a Visualizer can be controlled and can be used as a scanner for 3-dimensional objects. Images in JPG,
TIF or BMP format can be taken in a fraction of a second - much faster than with a desktop scanner.
WolfVision's USB Software (Connectivity Software) works under Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7 (32 and
64-bit) as well as Apple Macintosh. It is fully TWAIN/WIA compatible. This is important when using
Visualizers in connection with graphics programs such as Photoshop, or for connecting them to Interactive
Whiteboards (Smart Boards).
The fast USB 2.0 port can also output live motion. WolfVision‘s Connectivity Software can store AVI files
and includes a video capture driver. You can view and save the live image from the Visualizer on your
computer in almost every modern video editing software.
