Introduction

Introducing the PresenterIntroducing the Presenter

Introducing the Presenter

When you need to create that special presentation, The Presenter from Applica

can help make it a succes. When you need to have multiple screens and need to

control them from a central location, The Presenter can help. You can manage

and control four additional screens. You can even manage and control up to 16

remote screens by using multiple Presenter Cards.

The Presente Pro adds the functionality of having those remote screens at extremely

remote locations. This is done by combining Applica with SmartAVI. Using the

combination of transmitter and receiver units, SLX-TX400 & SLX-RX100, you can

have those remote screens up to 1000 ft. away.

There are many applications for the Presenter. Some of these include:

•Dynamic Digital Advertising such as malls, airports, hotels, convention centers,

and Sports arenas.

•Education and Entertainment such as information walls, booths, program

information and updates.

•Special Events and Demonstrations such as Vendor booths, product

presentations, and special speaker events.

Peripheral CompatibilityPeripheral Compatibility

Peripheral Compatibility

Start installation process by ensuring that all video displays and audio devices are

compatible with the computers. This is accomplished by connecting the devices

directly to the computer (bypassing the presenter card and/or SLX-100 receivers)

and checking that the devices operate as desired.

If they operate as desired, they should function properly when connected to the

Presenter unit.

If the device does not operate as desired when connected directly to the computer,

something is wrong with the device, NOT the Presenter unit since it is not yet

connected.

Before you install PresenterBefore you install Presenter

Before you install Presenter

There are several steps you should take in preparation for the installation of

your Presenter unit. These steps are to ensure proper installation so that your

product may run smoothly and trouble free.

We have attempted to make the installation procedure as simple as possible.

Variations in computer systems might make your installation procedure unique

but please try to follow these steps as closely as possible.

Please check the following:

•Make sure to logon with a username and password that has Administrator

privileges.

•Install and register Windows XP and all normal applications that you will

run on this PC.

•Make sure that you have installed current drivers for your normal video

adapter.

•If your PC supports Hyperthreading (HT), make sure that it is disabled in the

BIOS/CMOS.

•Make sure that any Remote Control Host software is uninstalled.

•Verify that Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1 or SP1a) is installed. (Start >

Control Panel > System > General. Or Windows Key+Pause/BreakKey).

•Make sure that you have at least 256MB of Ram.

•It might later be useful to determine wether your computer uses an AGP or

PCI Graphics Card. You may write it down or remember it.

•Disable any screen savers. Go to Control Panel > Display > Screen Saver Tab

and select (None) for the screen saver. Here you will also want to adjust

the Power settings by clicking the Power button at the bottom of the

Screen Saver tab. You will want to select the Always On power scheme and

“Turn Off Monitor” should be set to “Never”.

•Make sure that any AntiVirus software is disabled as this may interrupt or

interfere with installation. Note: You may reenable this software after

Presenter is installed.

After any settings might have been made it might be neccessary to restart your

computer. If you have not done so already please do so no to ensure that all

changes have been finalized.

Before beginning installation ensure that your PC is turned off. Follow the Steps

indicated for the Presenter Package you have.

1. Install the Presenter PCI card into an available PCI slot in your computer.

2. (Presenter) Connect the CAT5 to VGA adapters to the 4 CAT5 connectors

on the Presenter Card.

(Presenter Pro) Use 4 CAT5 cables to Connect the Presenter Card to the

inputs on the SLX-TX400.

3. (Presenter Pro) Run a CAT5 cable from the transmitter to the remote

location of your screen. Connect a remote station (SLX-RX100) into each

end of those CAT5 cables that you will be using.

4. (Presenter)Connect remote monitors to the ends of the CAT5/VGA cables.

(Presenter Pro) Connect monitors and/or speakers to SLX-RX100 units.

Then connect the external power supply to the AC IN connection of the

SLX-X400 unit. (Optional) Connect power adapters to the SLX-RX100 units.

5. Power on your PC.

6. Windows will now recognize that new hardware has been installed. Allow

it to detect all of the hardware. This could take a few minutes.

7. Install the provided ApplicaXP software (includes drivers) and the Presenter

Software.

Connecting the Presenter PCI card (Detailed)Connecting the Presenter PCI card (Detailed)

Connecting the Presenter PCI card (Detailed)

1. Open up the computer so the inside is exposed. Usually this is a side panel.

2. Find an available PCI slot. Remove the filler bracket from the slot you have

selected.

3. Ground yourself by briefly touching something metal, such as the

computer chassis, with your fingers, and then remove the PCI board from

its shielded plastic envelope.

4. Carefully insert the Presenter card making sure that it is properly and

completely inserted. This is done by firmly applying pressure across the top.

You will feel the card slide into place. If you do not know how to do this

find someone who is qualified to do so. Verify that no other PCI cards have

been accidentally lifted from their slots.

5. Insert a screw to secure the chrome bracket of the pci card to the PC case.

Note: If you are connecting more than one Presenter card, completely

install the first card and make sure it is fully operational. This will simply the

installation process and simplify possible troubleshooting later on.

6. Put the cover back on the computer. (If you are connecting multiple cards

you can postpone this step until all of the cards are installed.

Before beginning installation ensure that the PC is turned off.

Installation and OperationInstallation and Operation
