Ask Proxima 9100 manual Setting the timer for audience intermission, Projecting transparencies

If you find that you use LightBoard features frequently, consider programming either the Prog 1 or Prog 2 key, so you can access the LightBoard tool with the press of a key.

Setting the timer (for audience intermission)

The DP9100 includes a break timer, for lunch breaks, intermissions, question and answer sessions, or any other timed pause. Your audience will see a “countdown” of the number of minutes remaining.

To use the timer, first set the length of the break. Choose Tools, Break Timer Value, then indicate the length of the break, in minutes. You can set a break in increments up to one hour.

After you indicate the length of the break, choose Tools, Break Timer, On to start the timer. To turn the Break Timer off, press the Menu key on the remote or control panel.

Projecting transparencies

The Clear key clears the projected image, allowing you to project transparencies in the middle of your presentation.

You can clear to either a white or black background. Press the Clear key once quickly to clear to a white background. Press and hold it for at least two seconds to clear to a black background. Press Clear again once quickly, to return the projected image.

Note: The panel area on the DP9100 is 6” by 8”, which is slightly smaller than the panel area of most overhead projectors (typically 8.5” x 11”). You will need to adjust the focus to display transparencies.

Using the Fit-To-View feature to zoom, reduce and pan images

The Fit-To-View feature lets you fit larger images on one screen. Use this key to compress 1280 x 1024 or 1152 x 900 images to fit the 1024 x 768 screen resolution, or to enlarge a 640 x 480 image to fit the screen. Press the Fit-To-View key a second time to return the image to its original size.

To pan an image that does not fit on the screen (images larger than 1024 x 768), press the arrow keys on the projector’s control panel.

Note: You can set the top and left pan limits by adjusting the Advanced, Horizontal (and Vertical) settings in the projector menus.
