OPERATION
1. Press the power button on the PC.
2. Using the remote control, turn the Projector on.
3. Switch the keyboard on. Remember to switch this off after use to preserve battery
life.
4. When the system starts up, you will see the Magic Carpet control panel:

If your system does not automatically launch the Magic Carpet software and you only
see the Desktop, locate the software icon and double-click it:
Note: depending on how your system is configured, it may launch straight into an App.
If this is the case, press escape once to get back to the control panel. If the shortcut
icon on the Desktop gets deleted / disappears, a new shortcut can be created by
navigating to: C:\Program Files\Magic Carpet\
Right click on Magic Carpet.exe and Send To> Desktop (Create Shortcut).
If you see only a blue screen with “CHECK THE INPUT TERMINAL”, locate the Projector
Remote.

Look for the section that says “Computer”. Press “1” once and wait for a few seconds.
If this doesn’t work, try pressing “2” and wait for a few seconds.
5. Use the keyboard to control the system. The trackpad on the right of the device works
in the same way as a laptop track pad with left and right mouse buttons underneath.
6. To launch an App, navigate to the Menu on the left of the Control Panel:

Select an App by clicking once on it with the Left mouse button. Navigate to the right and
click the Start button ONCE and the chosen App will run. Full lists of apps can be found later
in these instructions.
To exit an App, press the Esc key ONCE to return to the Control Panel:
Note: Pressing the Esc key more than once when exiting an App will close the software. If
this happens, run the software again via the Desktop Shortcut.
To shut the system down
The system requires a standard Windows operating system. Older systems run on Windows
XP. More recent systems run on Windows XP, more recent systems require Windows 7
/ Windows 8. To shut down, click Exit on the Control Panel:

Navigate to the Start button at the bottom left of the display:
Click Shut Down:
Make sure the PC has shut down.
Using the Projector Remote, press OFF - ONCE:
Press once to enter shut down mode and once again to confirm shut down. You could also
press ‘Enter’ as directed – either way is fine.
Make sure the PC has shut down and the Projector has cooled down sufficiently before
turning the mains power off. The power light on the Projector will flash orange during the
shut down sequence and show a continuous orange light when completely shut down.

11. Safety
Always supervise the use of this product.
12. Technical Specification
Projector: 5000 hours lamp life
Mat:
The size of the mat the size is determined by the ceiling height and projector lens
throw ratio.
The standard projector throw is 1.3:1 –that means that you can work out the image
size by dividing the ceiling height by 1.3
For example: if a ceiling height is 2.4M –you would simply punch 2.4/1.3 in your
calculator and get 1.846mm as the answer: this is the width of the image. To get
the height of the image you just multiply the previous answer by 0.75 –which in
this example will provide an image height of 1.384mm

13. Installation
1. The kit supplied is intended to accommodate the safe installation of the projection
system on many of the ceiling types which might be found including the 600 x 600
tee bar suspension system.
2. Suspended ceilings: the M8 x 100 bolt is attached to the corner of the tile and the
connector clip to extend the threaded rod to the structure above.
3. The tee nut accepts the M8 threaded rod and is screwed to the structure using the
30mm x 8s screws. The image below on the right shows the general arrangement
above the ceiling with the metal tile supported at the four corners.

4. RSJ or steel section: an alternative method of suspending the tile from an RSJ or
steel section is by using the 250mm angles to clamp the upper and lower surfaces of
the structural member.
5. Plaster ceiling: when suspending the tile from a plaster ceiling first assemble the
650mm Z bearers on to the tile with the M8 x 16 button head bolts. This will ensure
the beamers are parallel and square when fixed to the ceiling (image below in the
middle). After fixing the bearers to the structural members in the ceiling the tile can
be unbolted and removed from the bearers which remain (image below on the
right).
Screw the mirror centrally to the tilting mirror bracket using the short screws
provided with the mirror ensuring that they cannot project into the mirror (see
image below left). Take care to ensure that no finger prints are put onto the mirror face.
Attach the Z bars to the projector using the M4 machine screws (see image below
right).
Position the projector onto the ceiling tile and attach using
the M5 machine screws. Position the mirror directly in
front of the projector lens and secure through the slots in
the ceiling tile. Locate the camera in a suitable position
looking down and forward of the projector.
The tile can now be installed in a suspended ceiling
supported from the structure by the methods shown
above.

The PC is connected to the projector by VGA cable only.
The PC needs to be placed where it can be accessed. It comes with a wall mountable PC
cabinet for it to be placed in. Location of any power sockets is important to ensure that the
PC and its components can be powered. ROMPA usually place the computer cabinet near
the interactive floor area at an accessible level. The projector and computer are always
wired up on a constant mains power supply (usually using the fish key switch).
The keyboard is wireless and ideally should be used next to the interactive floor projection.
It should operate effectively in the same room as the projection but the signal won’t work
well through walls or obstructions.
14. Care and Maintenance
1. Switch the components off after use.
15. Troubleshooting
Problem: difficulty turning the system ON
•Ensure the mains power supply to each component is switched on
•Check the Projector Remote and the keyboard batteries
•Carefully check the power connection at the back of the PC, ensuring that you do not
dislodge any other cables or connectors in the process.
Problem: an App doesn’t launch or a different one than selected appears
•Make sure ‘Manual Play’ is selected and try again
•If the problem persists, contact ROMPA
Problem: the PC will not start up
•Make sure the PC is plugged in and powered on
•Try using another IEC cable to rule out a blown fuse
•Check the main circuitry –a circuit breaker may have tripped and may need resetting If
the problem persists, contact ROMPA
Problem: It seems like the camera is not working
•The physical connection to the camera needs checking –make sure BNC is secure at the
projector and the PC end.
•The video codec may have a problem (telephone or remote assistance may be needed,
please call ROMPA)
•Faulty 12V PSU to Power Camera (check LED array is glowing in the face of the camera)
•Faulty camera
