PVI14V Pro-Vue Interactive Adaptor

Introduction:
2
The new Pro-Vue Interactive product range provides a whole new dimension to
interactive teaching and presentation; all the benefits of an interactive whiteboard...
without the whiteboard!!
This cost-saving ‘Adaptor-only’ version allows any existing standard projector to
be simply and effectively converted to an interactive projector, allowing almost any
surface (such as walls, dry-wipe boards, curtains, ceilings or floors!) to be used as a
virtual, fully interactive screen!
In addition, the size of your virtual interactive screen is only limited to the space
available and positioning of your projector (imagine how big the screen could be
using a simple, clear wall in the school assembly hall?)..

Function of the “E-Pen”
How to use:
When the tip of the E-Pen is pressed (such as onto the ‘screen’
area), an infrared signal is emitted, which is detected by the IR
sensor integrated within the Pro-Vue Projector.
1) Position the tip of the E-Pen on the ‘screen’
2) Press the E-Pen on the screen to click the target as in
‘mouse’ function; press and drag to draw or write in ‘pen’
function.
PLEASE NOTE: As the sensor
is located in the tip of the
E-Pen, it is very important to
ensure the E-Pen is switched off when
not in use to avoid unnecessary battery
consumption.

Function of the “E-Wand”
When the silver button on the E-Wand body is pressed, an
infrared signal is emitted, which is detected by the IR Sensor
integrated within the Projector (when the button is pressed and
an IR signal emitted, the LED on the E-Wand lights red).
Before using the Wand.
Screw the Telescopic Rod into the Wand body firmly.
How to use:
1) Extend the telescopic E-Wand to the required length.
2) Position the tip of the E-Wand on the ‘screen’.
3) Push the E-Wand button to click the target as in ‘mouse’
function, or click and hold the button to draw or write in ‘pen’
function. Front

Accessories Introduction (Cont):
Good Practice use of the E-Pen & E-Wand when presenting/
teaching:
Please note that as the Pro-Vue functions using infrared light, a ‘line-of-sight’
between the E-Pen/E-Wand and the Projector is essential for effective use.
Therefore, good-practice use requires the presenter/teacher to ensure the E-Pen/
E-Wand is used out of any shadow area, which may occur dependent on your
positioning of the projector to screen. Ceiling-mounting the projector, or use of the
E-Wand (as opposed to the E-Pen) in portable/temporary applications, will
significantly reduce the possibility of shadow.

‘in-shadow’ issues.
With your back to the audience, the
E-Pen is most likely to be in shadow.
Facing side-on to the screen and
your audience will significantly reduce
shadow.

Troubleshooting:
18
1. Q: Why does it show “No
LightPen found”?
Reasons for this might be:
1The USB cable is not properly
connected. Check cable connections at
computer and Projector.
Should the Lightpen icon appear with a red
cross in your Toolbar, the USB cable may
have been disconnected at computer/
projector. Check connections are correct
and secure.
* Some Anti-virus programs will disable
the USB port. Please make sure the USB
port is not disabled.
2Please check if the USB port of the
PC supports USB 2.0 or not.
3You may have the wrong USB cable.
Ensure to use the cable supplied with your
Pro-Vue Projector. Should you require a
longer lead, please contact your dealer.
4USB port on computer malfunctions.
Please check if the USB port is
functioning correctly. If not, please
consult with IT engineer.
Some notebook computers will
disable USB ports when the battery is
low. Please use AC power whenever
possible. Some notebook computers
do not provide standard 500mA to the
USB port or the USB converter is not
working properly. In such case, please
use our standard USB cable.
2. Q: Why can I not execute
calibration on the green
cross target?
Please check E-Pen/E-Wand are
functioning:
1.1 Please check if E-Pen/E-Wand
batteries or battery cap is loose.
1.2 When using E-Pen or E-Wand, be
sure to locate the tip in the sight of the
CMOS sensor in front of the projector. If
the sensor cannot see it, the Interactive
system does not work.
2The ambient light may be too
strong. Take the light out of the sight of
the CMOS sensor. Strong ambient light
is usually caused by the following:
2.1 Sunlight through the windows near
the screen.
2.2 Light source working close to the
sensor or the screen.

19
Troubleshooting (Cont):
3In Windows Vista system, one
of the green cross targets may be
hidden by “start” square of computer /
notebook computer. Please point to the
position as shown for calibration.
3. Q: The cursor is not at
the same position as the
E-Pen/E-Wand is pointing:
Possible reasons for this are:
1The system is not calibrated well.
Try to point to the “centre” of green
cross target when you run calibration.
2The position of the projector, screen
or projection size has been changed.
3The image resolution has been
changed. Running the calibration
procedure again will solve the problem.
4. Q: Why is the cursor
jumping?
This may be caused by strong ambient
light interference. Try to avoid strong
ambient light interference, especially
strong sunlight directly projected on the
screen. (Please refer to Question 2.)
5. Q: Why is the LightPen
not working after the
computer wakes up from
standby?
In some cases, if the computer goes
into standby mode, the computer will
shut the USB port. In such case, please
wake up computer, unplug and insert
the USB cable again. (Please refer to
Question 1)
6. Q: There are ‘blank
spots’ where I am writing/
drawing with the E-Pen/
E-Wand:
1Ensure your E-Pen/E-Wand is not
‘shadowed’ from line-of-sight with the
Projector (see ‘Good Practice’ guidelines on
Page 07)
2You may be writing/drawing over
an animated graphic (eg. animated gif/
flash file in a web page). In such cases
the computer sees this as redrawing
over the previous screen. Avoid
animated graphic areas when drawing/
writing with the E-Tools.
