Use a short-throw projector / ClassTech

Problem

• How do I use a short-throw projector as part of a classroom technology package?

Resolution

1. With the projection system on, select Power on Short Throw Projector on the touch panel
   
   
    
2. Wait a few moments for the device to power on and initialize. The default input will be the resident PC, so you should see its desktop image appear soon
3. Selecting Advanced Projector Options on the touch panel will allow you to render a different input on the short throw projector
   
   


4. Open the Easy Tools software with the desktop icon, if it isn't running
   
   


5. Use the supplied stylus to perform annotation and capture on the whiteboard below the projector

Troubleshooting 

• Issue: Annotation appears on the short-throw screen but NOT the room's main projection screen
• Diagnosis: The stylus interaction is set to PC Free
• Resolution: Set it to PC Interactive by clicking the mouse and keyboard icon at the bottom of the Easy Tools toolbar
  
  

• Issue: Annotation appears askew or is offset from the stylus pen tip when writing
• Diagnosis: Short-throw projector requires a re-calibration routine to be run
• Resolution: Click the User button on the supplied remote. Answer Yes to the prompt to begin the calibration, and let the calibration finish 
  
  

Notes

• Power-down the projection system when you are finished using the equipment; the short throw projector will power down automatically as well
