Presentations with KODAK EKTAPRO 7010, 7020, 9010 and 9020 Slide Projectors
One of the important new features of the KODAK EKTAPRO
7010, 7020, 9010 and 9020 Slide Projectors is the integrated
dissolver for a 2-projector dissolve.
You just have to link two projectors using the KODAK Dissolve
Cable (accessory) and you can immediately run more interest-
ing and lively live presentations using the infrared remote
control. It is also possible to play automatic slide shows with
a fixed dissolve time.
However, it is not possible to record the
IR-commands.
Projection with a single projector (Soft Slide Change)
If you are just presenting with a single EKTAPRO 7010, 7020,
9010 or 9020, you can fade your slides out and back in again (e.g.
by setting a dissolve time to smoothly change the slides). This
means the hard light change is avoided during slide transport.
The commands and notes which relate to the control of an
individual projector are marked with an *.
Projection with two projectors
Choosing projectors (MASTER/SLAVE)
All commands for dissolving etc. are only transmitted to one
projector. This projector is called the
MASTER
. It passes the
commands on to the second projector which is known as the
SLAVE
.
n
You can use either the KODAK EKTAPRO 7010, 7020, 9010
or 9020 projector
as a MASTER
n
However, you can use
all
EKTAPRO models with a P-Bus-
in interface
as a SLAVE
!
Note:
The use of all functions is only possible via EKTAPRO IR-
Remote Control ! With the KODAK EKTAPRO Cable Remote
only dissolves in the default setting (0.5 sec) can be carried out.
Comments
Even when the two projectors are linked with the dissolve
cable, they behave like individual projectors and can also be
operated individually as usual via the keypad.
If your SLAVE projector has a built-in timer, it must be
switched off!
If you want to use only one projector in single mode, simply
switch off the SLAVE and use the MASTER!

Setting up
Putting your 2 projector dissolve system together is fast and
easy. Connect the two projectors via the P-bus-in interface to
the KODAK Dissolve Cable (accessory) as shown in the
illustration! Connect your remote control to the MASTER
projector! Switch the projectors on. Your 2 projector dissolve
system is now ready to use.
Aligning the projectors
It is important to align the two slide projectors before beginning
a presentation such that both projected images cover the same
area. This is easiest using so-called aligning slides which your
AV dealer will certainly carry in stock (it is useful to load the
aligning slide in the tray compartment 80):
.
n
Place the slide trays onto the projectors.
n
Press the slide reverse transport button on both
projectors.
n
Focus both slides using the focus buttons on your
projectors.
n
Now align the projectors to project both slides on the
same area.
n
Now return both slide trays to their initial position (zero
position).
You can now begin your presentation using the remote control.
Comment (EKTAPRO 7010, 7020, 9010 or 9020)
If it is necessary to carry out any additional adjustment during
the presentation push both transport buttons on the dark
projector for longer than one second. The dark projector is
now faded in too. Switch-off the lamp again by pressing
standby
.
Sorting slides into the slide trays
Once you have decided on the order of your slides, number
them through. Then sort all the slides with uneven numbers in
sequence into the slide tray for the MASTER projector. The
slides with even numbers are sorted in order into the slide tray
for the SLAVE projector (see table page 34).
