Q. Where do I get the U-Pointer Software?
A. U-Pointer software comes complimentary with your Hitachi interactive
projector. It is also available for download under the interactive projectors
resources tab on the Hitachi Projectors website:
http://dmd.hitachi-america.us/products/consumer/digitalmedia/lcd_
projectors/lineup/details/CP-TW2503.php
Q. Can I mount the finger touch unit above my white board?
A. No. The finger touch unit MUST be mounted on the same surface as the
display.
Q. Can I use the finger touch unit on an uneven surface?
A. No. The surface must be flat, there is only a 2mm tolerance.
Q. Can I use this in “stand alone mode”?
A. No. A PC is required in order for you to interact with this unit. Also make
sure the projector’s IWB mode is set to “with PC mode” in the OSD menu of
projector, and set to “Finger touch mode” at the U-pointer’s menu on the PC.
Q. When using the finger touch unit, the cursor and drawing
functions are inaccurate (i.e. The line I am drawing is 2 inches away
from tip of the interactive pen.)
A. This may caused by some factors. It may be out of calibration, run auto
or manual calibration and retry. Or an uneven surface, surface with curve
will cause inaccuracy. Also inaccurate alignment of FT-01 will also cause the
inaccuracy. Please refer to the manual for appropriate settings.
Q. Will the chalk shelf on my whiteboard interfere with my finger
touch interaction?
A. Sometimes Yes. The reflection from the chalk shelf sometimes interferes.
There are “Antireflection bars” included with the finger unit for this reason.
Q. How do I get a full image and full screen interaction on my white
board when using the finger touch unit?
A. You cannot. The finger touch unit MUST be mounted 2-4 inches above the
image, and it also requires 2 inches between the frame, if there is frame. This
means you have to shrink the image to provide this requirement.
