Use a short-throw projector / ClassTech
Body
Problem
- How do I use a short-throw projector as part of a classroom technology package?
Resolution
- With the projection system on, select Power on Short Throw Projector on the touch panel

- 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
- Selecting Advanced Projector Options on the touch panel will allow you to render a different input on the short throw projector

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

- 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
