Operating the Fader
Built-in Fade/Dissolve Mechanism
The Navitar FX projector has a built-in fade/dissolve mechanism to give you
seamless, professional looking transition between slides without an expensive
external dissolve controller. With Navitar’s FX projector, your slide image fades
to black, then the projector advances to a new slide, adjusts focus and fades up
to full brightness.
Pushing the Advance Button
To operate the fader with the advance button, turn the projector to the FAN
position, turn the TIMER ON/OFF switch to OFF, set the DISSOLVE RATE
control to the desired cycle time (1-12 seconds) and push the FORWARD button
on the side.
Note: the unit fades out the lamp, advances the projector and fades the lamp
back up at your selected rate.
Kodak Remote Control
To operate the fader using the Kodak Remote Control, turn the projector to the
FAN position. Plug the Kodak Remote Control that came with your projector into
the 5 pin socket on the rear of your projector.
Turn the TIMER ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Push the FORWARD
button on the remote control to initiate the fader at whatever rate you have set.
Depending where the dissolve rate is set, the advance could take a few seconds.
The REVERSE button operates the projector’s normal reverse cycle without
dissolve. Always hold down
REVERSE for about a ½ second for reliable projector reverse cycling.
If you have remote focus on your projector and control, it will operate normally.
Timer Delay Between Slides
To operate the fader with timer delay between slides, turn the projector to the
FAN position. Set the TIMER switch to ON. Set the TIMER DELAY control to the
desired time between cycles.
The Navitar FX will wait your set DELAY time between slides, then will operate
the dissolve cycle at your selected RATE. It will continue this process for each
slide as long as the TIMER ON/OFF switch is ON.
Operating as a Standard Projector
To operate as a standard, non-modified projector, turn the TIMER ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position. Turn the POWER switch to the HIGH position.
