4. Using the menus Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual
Introduction
All of the projector’s features can be controlled using:
• the menus on the touch screen or
• the same menus on a remote computer using a web browser
(with the IP address of the projector typed into the browser address field)
None of the menus are ever displayed on the projection screen.
In these instructions, it is assumed that the touch screen is being used, so the
expressions ‘press the button’, or ‘touch and drag the slider control’ will be used,
rather than the familiar ‘click’ or ‘click and drag’ used on a web browser.
The buttons and controls react in the following way when operated:
• A button or control will be coloured white if its function is available. It will be
coloured grey if not (some functions are not yet available).
• Buttons and single-headed arrow controls will change to yellow when pressed.
• Slider controls can be adjusted by touching and dragging the slider, or for fine
adjustment, by pressing either arrow head. The numerical value will change to
grey until the projector hardware has responded, when the value will change to
white.
• Some sliders and arrow controls can be centred, or reset to default values, by
pressing on the number next to the slider or in the middle of the arrows. These
operations are described in more detail later in this section.
• Some functions require the button to be pressed and held for a short period, to
avoid accidental operation. In these cases, the button will turn grey when
pressed, turning yellow only when the function has been activated.
When the projector is first switched on, the control panel will be in Show mode, as
described on the page 4.
The eight buttons of the Main menu are always visible at the bottom of the display.
Buttons and controls relating to the Sub Menus will appear in the top part of the
display.
Notes
Do not try to operate the
touch screen using anything
harder than your finger. This
could damage the LCD.
If you have difficulty getting the
touch screen to respond
correctly, then try varying the
length and pressure of your
finger movements until you
have more success.
