| No. | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 14 | Digital Zoom Button [DIGITAL ZOOM] | To operate digital zoom. Use the Digital zoom after moving the camera head to the lowest horizontal position (the minimum shooting area), and the image is expanded even more. The zoom button [TELE]/[WIDE] can change the size of an object in display on the monitor screen. Pressing [TELE] and [WIDE] buttons together resets the digital zoom to the initial state (non-action). Note: - The digital zoom will degrade the image quality. - Turning ON the power supply resets the digital zoom to the initial state (non- action). |

According to the unit in connection or the object, select the optimum position. [HIGH] . . . . To intensify the contrast. This level fits when the object is document etc. [NORM.] . . Normal [LOW] . . . . To diminish the contrast. This level fits when a CRT monitor is connected. |
| 20 | RGB-in Terminal [RGB INPUT] | To connect other image output unit. The image is output from the RGB-out terminal [RGB OUTPUT] when the image input selection switch [INPUT] is set accordingly. |
| 21 | RGB-out Terminal [RGB OUTPUT] | To output the image to the monitor or protector in connection to this terminal. |
2. Setting Up and Storing
2-1 Setting Up
1. Gently release the clipped area (as marked with arrow) of the right and left stages as illustrated. Note: It may be damaged by unlatching the stages by putting hands on other positions not shown by arrows. When the accessory case is housed inside, be careful not to drop it.
2. Connect the RGB-out terminal [RGB OUTPUT] of the Presenter to the monitor/projector with the RGB cable (supplied). Note: Before starting connection, turn OFF the power supply to each unit.
3. Connect the AC adaptor, and turn the power switch [POWER] to ON.
Instruction for location: Please note that the image may be affected by unsightly shadows caused from other lights in the room or from the outside. This effect can usually be eliminated or reduced by repositioning the HV-100XG being mindful of the ambient lights.
2-2 Storing
1. Make sure that the power switch [POWER] is OFF, and then remove all cords connected to the Presenter.
2. Move the camera head to be in line with the arm horizontally.
3. House the auxiliary stage inside the main stage, and then fold the main stage. At this time, house the accessory case inside the stage. Note: Confirm that the accessory case is closed firmly before housing.
4. Make sure that all movable parts are put back to storing position accordingly.
2-3 Zooming
By moving up/down the camera head, the object in display on the monitor screen can be zoomed-in or zoomed-out. Use the Digital zoom after moving the camera head to the lowest horizontal position (minimum shooting area), and the image is expanded even. But the digital zoom will degrade the image quality. In zoom operation by moving up/down the camera head, focus adjustment is not required (FOCUSFREE).
A diagram illustrates zoom operations: Zoom-in, Zoom-out, Digital zoom, and Expand more.
An example connection diagram shows the backside of the Base Unit with ports like RGB INPUT and RGB OUTPUT. It illustrates connecting the Analog RGB cable (supplied) from the presenter to a Monitor or Projector's RGB-in terminal. The AC adapter (supplied) connects to a power outlet. Notes: Analog NTSC or S-Video monitors cannot be used. A monitor or projector having a resolution of 1024x768 is recommended.
3. Troubleshooting Hints
| Symptom | Checkpoint |
|---|---|
| No image is on the monitor or project. |
|
| Image with digital zoom is blurry. | The digital zoom feature normally will degrade the image quality somewhat. |
| The image is too dark. | Is the illumination sufficient? If not, turn ON the lighting unit with the illumination switch [LAMP]. |
| The image of printed matter is striped. | Is this caused by the interference between the dots of the printed matter and the scanning line of the TV? |
If the trouble still remains after checking the above, consult your dealer or an authorized ELMO service center.
