Cyclops F/X
Your projector comes with Cyclops F/X — software effects that you can use
to make your presentations more interesting and effective. For example, you
can use the Spotlight to call attention to specific areas on the image, use the
Zoom or Magnify effects to focus on important information in the image, or
use See-it/Show-it to preview images on your computer without distracting
your audience.
You can use
Cyclops F/X with either the r
emote that came with your
projector or the optional Cyclops interactive pointer system, or both a
same time.
Note:
Cyclops F/X is not available for UNIX systems.
Note:
You cannot use Cyclops F/X with the MediaExpress system.
