2. Installation Procedures
The YZ810-106 wall panel mounts into standard sin le an electrical boxes as shown to the ri ht. The CAT-5 cables (included)
run from the switcher, down the inside of the wall, and out of the electrical box for connection to the wall plate. For best results,
use metal boxes with ood earth roundin . Electrical/junction boxes and associated hardware are NOT included.
Step 1. Determine the best location for the YZ810-106 and verify that the VGA wall plate fits into the electrical
box selected before installation.
Step 2. Cut an openin in the wall and route the CAT-5 cables from the switcher to the openin in the wall. The
VGA wall plate requires both of the CAT-5 cables provided.
NOTE: Do NOT trim the cables provided. The PC video inputs are pre-compensated for use with the
50 ft (15 m) cables provided.
Step 3. Connect the cables to one of the 4 RGB inputs on the switcher; each RGB input has 2 connectors "A" &
"B." Connect the opposite ends of the cables to the YZ810-106. Connect the "A" connector on the
switcher to the "A" input on the wall plate; likewise for "B."
Step 4. Install the electrical box into the wall and insert the VGA wall plate all the way into the
box, then fasten with the screws provided. Next, attach the wall plate cover to complete
the installation.
Step 5. Turn on the projector power at the wall controller and verify the power LED on the
VGA wall plate is on and red indicatin it is receivin power.
Step 6. Connect a video and audio source from a PC to the inputs on the wall plate. Connect the
local video output to the input of the PC’s monitor. The PC video displays on the local
monitor.
Step 7. Select the PC input on the wall controller that corresponds to the input to the switcher
from the VGA wall plate. The video from the PC displays on both the local monitor and
the projector.

5. About Your VGA Wall Plate
The YZ810-106 VGA-UXGA wall plate with local video output allows the video and audio from a computer to be presented throu h the Showtime system. The
local output is ideal for use with a room PC where the presenter can run the presentation from their local monitor even thou h the main presentation screen is
behind or directly above the PC location.
The audio input uses a 3.5 mm jack and the computer input is a standard VGA 15-pin HD female connector. The si nals are combined and output over two
standard CAT-5 cables attached to the rear of the unit inside the wall. External power is not required since the unit receives power from the Showtime switcher.
There is a Power/Si nal Present LED on the front of the plate. The VGA wall plate only receives power from the switcher when the projector power is turned
on. The LED is on and red if the unit has power and chan es from red to reen when a valid computer video si nal is present.

7.1 VGA Wall Plate with Local Output (YZ810-106)
7.1.1 Wall Plate Connections
The VGA output from the PC connects to the VGA connector labeled
"COMPUTER IN" on the wall plate usin standard VGA-type cable. The
PC audio output connects to the 3.5 mm jack labeled "AUDIO IN" on the
wall plate.
The "LOCAL OUT" connector on the VGA wall plate can be used to direct
the video from the PC to a local monitor in addition to the main output to
the projector. The "LOCAL OUT" connection does not need to be
connected when not used.
7.1.2 Power/Signal Present LED
The VGA wall plate with local output receives its power from the
Showtime switcher, but only when the projector power is turned on at the
wall controller, see 7.2.1.
The Power LED is on and red when receivin power from the switcher.
The LED turns reen when a properly formatted VGA source si nal is
applied to the input.
7.1.3 Presentations using Local Output

•If the room PC is not permanently connected to the wall plate:
oDisconnect the video cable from the PC's monitor
oConnect the PC to the VGA wall plate "COMPUTER IN"
oConnect the local monitor to the "LOCAL OUT" usin
standard VGA type cable
oConnect the audio from the PC to the "AUDIO IN"
•Select the PC input on the wall-controller that corresponds to the
VGA wall plate input.
•The PC input is displayed on the local monitor as well as the
projector for the duration of the presentation.
7.2 Wall Controller
7.2.1 Power Key
The controller does not respond to input selections until the power key is
illuminated. Power on is indicated when the power key in the lower ri ht

2 seconds. (Press and hold a ain for 2 seconds to turn power off.)
When the power is turned on, the projector is turned on and the electric

the projector is turned off, the electric screen (if available) is raised, and
the audio output is muted.
NOTE: The power must be on for the wall plate to receive power from
the switcher.
7.2.2 Input Selection Keys
The input keys are only available when the power key is on. Press any of
the 8 input keys to switch to its associated wall plate input device. The

The audio control is a sin le turn knob from minimum to maximum.
Audio control is only active when the power key is on. There are 5 reen

8. Troubleshooting Guide
We have carefully tested and found no problems in the supplied system; however, we would like to offer su estions for the followin :
Symptom Resolution
Power LED is Off
1. Make sure the projector power on the wall controller is turned on. The VGA wall panel is only on when the
projector power is on. If a computer video si nal is present the LED turns reen.
2. If the projector power is on and the Power/Si nal Present LED is still off, verify the cables on the rear of the VGA
wall plate are properly installed. The switcher has 2 inputs (A & B) for each VGA wall plate. The "A" connector on
the switcher must be connected to the "A" connector on the VGA wall plate.
No Display on Projector
1. Make sure the projector has power and is turned on.
2. Check the source and make sure there is a si nal present. The Power/Si nal Present LED on the VGA wall panel is
on and reen.
3. Make sure the correct input is selected at the wall controller or at the switcher front panel.
Poor Output Ima e
1. The source resolution may not be compatible with the projector or other display device. Try other resolutions from
the source.
2. The source and display may not be compatible. Connect the source directly to the input of the projector or other
display device. If the ima e is poor the devices may be incompatible.
No Sound
1. Make sure the audio cable from the PC is plu ed all the way into the jack on the VGA wall panel.
2. Make sure the PC is playin audio and that the audio is turned up to a reasonable level and not muted.
3. Make sure the system is not muted. If it is, the mute key on the wall controller will be on an illuminated red.
4. Turn the volume knob on the controller to the ri ht. If the controller has power the reen LED indicators above
the knob will turn on to indicate the new volume level.
