SDP-850 Quick Start Guide
The Samsung SDP-850 provides control of basic operations on the base of the Digital Presenter.
Please note that you can also access these features plus additional advanced functions via the
remote control.
CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
Turn on the main POWER button of the SDP-850. Please note that the Red light on
the front of the presenter indicates the unit is “Off.” The red light on the remote
control panel window disappears once the unit is turned on.
After the boot-up screen, the presenter will perform an automatic white balance or
“Color Adjustment.” Since the SDP-850 has no base, you should always have a white piece of
paper under the lens when the unit is turned on. Printed text on white paper is OK. This will allow
for an accurate auto white balance for the best color accuracy. Press the AWC button at any
time to activate an automatic color adjustment.
Tip:Make sure there is no colored material under the lens to affect white balance.
The BRIGHT +/- buttons are used to lighten or darken the overall image for the desired result.
Tip:When using the TXT / IMG (Text/Image) feature found on the remote, on average the
brightness setting for text should fall somewhere near 95 to 100. For images, it will be closer to
40 to 50.
Press the ZOOM +/- buttons to reduce or enlarge the image size. When the On Screen display
indicates D-ZOOM, you are working in the Digital Zoom mode (up to 3 times the normal size).
Auto focus will occur after zooming has stopped in all modes.
Tip:Make sure you’re not moving the subject during auto focus. If the subject is blurry, press
the AF button to re-focus.
Press the AF button to activate the auto focus at any time. Manual focus is available on the base
as well as the remote by pressing the FOCUS +/- buttons for complete focus control.
The NEGA/POSI button allows you to switch between the normal, Positive mode setting for most
subjects to a Negative position, best for viewing film negatives.

ADVANCED FEATURES
The accessory LED lamp can be turned on or off by
pressing the LAMP button found on the remote control.
Tip:If viewing glossy material, slide the lamp forwards or
backwards on the upper arm to eliminate glare. The lamp
can also be used on the lower arm to achieve the desired
results.
The TXT/IMG button allows you to switch between Text
and Image settings. In the Text mode, adjust the
Brightness buttons to set the desired lighting for your text
documents. In the Image mode, adjust Brightness to
obtain the best results for full colored materials such as
photographs.
Once you’ve adjusted your settings for text documents and full color materials, they are
automatically stored in memory, allowing you to quickly switch between wide varieties of
subjects by pressing the TXT / IMG button. These are stored in memory even if the unit
is powered off, but not if it is unplugged.
Use the FREEZE button to “hold” any image on screen
while you change your subject or to Freeze an object in
To switch between a computer display and the digital
presenter, connect the computer display output to the VGA
Input connection on the back of the SDP-850. Press the
INT/EXT button to switch between the digital presenter
and the computer display.
PRESET – Up to 4 User-defined presets can be stored
allowing the presenter to quickly select up to four pre-
determined settings.
First, adjust all your settings for the desired result (zoom,
lamp, focus, etc.). Next select PRESET / SAVE on the
remote and enter a number from 1 to 4 to save. To recall
the preset, select PRESET / ACTIVE on the remote and
press the appropriate number for your setting.

unit is powered down.

LENS ADJUSTMENTS
The SDP-850 offers very flexible camera movements allowing for
the presentation of a wide variety of subject matter.
For the optimum setting, please start by placing the camera
head and arms at right angles to the subject matter. By using
the zoom lens and auto focus system, this setting will cover
the majority of all subjects from textbooks to 3-dimensional items.
To view larger subjects such as maps or oversized textbooks, elevate the
base of the unit by placing it on some sturdy box or other support material.
Rotate the camera head left or right along with the base arm to quickly
align your subject matter as desired.
Flip the camera head up (and rotate if necessary) to use the SDP-850 as a secondary
camera to display larger materials such as blackboards, whiteboards, maps and more!
Note: To obtain proper focusing results when using the 850 as a secondary camera,
please remove the attached supplementary lens and store it in the plastic case included
with the accessory items.
