Section 3 Operation
3.1 Overview
This section explains how to operate the projector once it has been installed and is ready for use. If you have not
yet set up the projector, refer to Section 2, Installation and Setup.
Before using the projector for the first time, it is recommended that you read through this section of the manual.
Although the projector is easy to use, there are many advanced features which allow you to enhance performance
and operation. By understanding these features, and how to use them, you will soon be able to take full
advantage of the projector's extensive capabilities.
3.1.1 Projector
Basics
Notice that the projector has no knobs or moving parts to make adjustments or change control settings. This is
because all user adjustments are digitally controlled via the projector's keypad. Adjustment settings are retained
in the projector's internal memory, even when the projector is unplugged.
3.1.2 Keypads
Four types of keypads may be used with the projector: built-in, IR remote, wired remote, and Presenter's. The
projector includes a multi-use, full function, backlit keypad which is factory configured for use as a built-in keypad.
It can easily be reconfigured for use as an IR remote keypad or a wired remote keypad. Use the keypad type
which is most appropriate for your application.
Note:
For information on how to reconfigure the keypad, refer to Section 2.2.2. To convert the keypad to a
wired remote keypad, an optional accessory cable (#03-001106-02P) is required.
Note:
Additional keypads are available from your reseller and VDC Display Systems.
3.1.3 IR Remote Keypad
When the keypad is configured for IR remote operation, you can control the projector from a distance without a
wired connection to the projector. The keypad includes a battery powered infrared (IR) transmitter.
3.1.4 Wired Remote Keypad
When the keypad is configured as a wired remote keypad, you can control the projector from a distance by way of
a 25 ft extension cable (accessory cable required). Wired remote keypad operation is recommended when:
1. the location of the keypad with respect to the projector or screen is inadequate for IR remote keypad
operation
2. the projector is in a lighting environment which is unsuitable for IR remote keypad operation, or
3. there are multiple projectors in the same room and you want each projector to be controlled by its own
remote keypad
3.1.5 Presenter's
Keypad
(optional)
The Presenter's Keypad is similar to the IR remote keypad (above) except that it is not a full function keypad; it
contains only frequently used keys. Presenters may find this keypad is easier to use than a full function keypad.
For more information about the Presenter's Keypad, call your reseller or VDC Display Systems.
Figure 3-1 shows the projector functions which are accessible from the multi-use (full function) keypad. As you
may notice from the illustration, some keys provide direct access to specific functions (such as [
POWER
] to turn
the projector on or off), and some keys provide indirect function access via menus. Functions which are less
frequently accessed are provided through on-screen menus.
