Do not stare into the laser beam!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the unit! No user serviceable parts inside! Refer servicing to qualified
service personal only! To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain, moisture or extreme heat!
Connections
#33 Main POWER switch
#34 FUSE
#35 POWER connection
#36 DVI output
DVI is a 100% digital output. It is the output with the
highest quality (resolution and color).
With a DVI connection the Visualizer can check the
technical data of the display unit connected to the
Visualizer (for the "Auto resolution" function).
#37 USB port
The USB port can be used for quickly scanning pictures
from the Visualizer into a PC. Connect the USB port of the
Visualizer to the USB port of your PC.
For installing the USB software you can use the enclosed
CD-ROM, but we recommend that you first check on the
Internet at www.wolfvision.com/support if a newer version
of the USB-software is available!
#38 SERIAL port (RS232)
For external remote controlling and Firmware updates
#39 PREVIEW RGB output (15-pin D-Sub connector)
for a control monitor
For more details about the output settings, please see #40
RGB output.
#40 RGB output (15-pin D-SUB connector)
Connect this output to your display unit (data projector,
monitor, video conferencing system ...)
When the display unit is connected to the Visualizer using
this output (or the DVI-output #36) the "Auto resolution"
function of the Visualizer checks which units are
connected to the Visualizer and automatically sets the
output to the mode that fits best for the connected units
(SVGA, XGA, SXGA...). Please note that the Visualizer
can not check the best possible output mode, if the
connected units or the cables are not "Plug and Play"
compatible. If the Visualizer can not detect the resolution
of the connected units, the outputs are set to the default of
XGA (1024x768) at 60 Hz.
You can use the on-screen menu of the Visualizer to
change the output mode of the Visualizer.
If you can not see the menu you can also switch between
the different output modes by pressing simultaneously
both FOCUS keys (#19) and MIRROR up/down (#12).
Make sure that you set the outputs to the native resolution
if your display unit and not the maximum resolution it can
display (in compressed mode)!
#41 EXTERNAL Input for Computers
Connect the monitor output of your computer with this
input. Use the EXT/INT key (#20) to switch between the
image of the Visualizer and the image of your computer.
The behaviour of the Ext/Int-mode can be changed in the
on-screen menu.
#42 RGB output (BNC connectors)
Use this output to connect the Visualizer to your display
unit (data projector, monitor, video conferencing system
etc.) if you can not make a connection with a D-Sub cable
(RGB output #40).
The disadvantage of this output is that the "Auto
resolution" function does not work here. The advantage is
that BNC cables are better for long cable runs.
You can change the sync settings in the on-screen menu
of the Visualizer.
#43 PAL/NTSC S-Video (Y/C) output
Please note that the picture quality of both PAL/NTSC
video outputs (#43 and #44) is NOT AS GOOD as the
picture quality of the data outputs (#36, #39, #40 and
#42). This is because of the limitations of the PAL/ NTSC
video system and because of the fact that this is just a
converted Progressive Scan signal and not an original
video signal.
You can set the PAL/NTSC video outputs to PAL by
pressing simultaneously both FOCUS keys (#19) and
PRESET 1 (#14). You can set the outputs to NTSC by
pressing simultaneously both FOCUS keys (#19) and
PRESET 2 (#14).
Switching between PAL and NTSC can also be done in
the on-screen menu of the Visualizer.
#44 PAL/NTSC Composite video output
Only use this output if you have no other option. It offers
the lowest quality. Use the Y/C (S-video) output (#43) for
PAL/NTSC video if possible!
#44 Ethernet / LAN port
Connect the LAN port of the Visualizer to the LAN port of
the PC (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). With an Internet
browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, etc.) you can control the
Visualizer and transfer images. A dedicated Ethernet/LAN
manual can be downloaded from the WolfVision
homepage at: www.wolfvision.com/support.

Control panel and infrared remote control:
#12 Upper MIRROR up and down (for scrolling)
The mirror can also be turned by hand! This does not
cause any harm to the unit
#13 ZOOM keys
When using the Zoom keys the size of the Synchronized
Lightfiled also changes. So the lightfield always indicates
the pickup area of the built-in camera. This can be used
for easy positioning of objects.
#14 User programmable PRESETS
You can use Presets to store certain positions of zoom,
focus, mirror, light etc.
Press one of the Preset keys quickly to recall a preset.
Press one of the Preset keys for 4 seconds to store a
Preset
In the on-screen menu it is also possible to assign a
specific function to a Preset (like Image on/off, IRIS,
Negative, Negative/Blue, Black/White etc.)
#15 IMAGE TURN key
For picking up a complete vertical (Portrait) page in A4 or
US-letter/legal size in better quality, place your document
on the working surface in horizontal (Landscape) direction
and zoom in on it completely. Then press the Image Turn
key. Now the picture is turned 90 degree and output the
right way up with much higher resolution. This is because
in the Image Turn mode all pixels of the camera are used
to pick up the letter.
#16 TEXT Enhancement key
Press this key to improve the contrast and the readability
of text or x-rays. Please note that the colors are slightly
darker in this mode.

Please note that in the "Macro mode" the lightfield no
longer marks the pickup area of the built-in camera
On the Visualizer a Laser Center Marker shows the middle
of the picture in the macro mode
#19 Manual FOCUS key
Because of the high depth of focus of the professional
Visualizers focusing is seldom necessary.
Pressing both focus keys simultaneously activates a One-
Push-Autofocus.
#20 EXT/INT key
Switches between the image of the Visualizer and the
image from the external computer input (#41).
#21 LIGHT key
Switches between "Top light", "Bottom light" and "Light
off". The bottom light is recommended for x-rays and
slides. Transparencies may look better with the top light.
On the Visualizer a Laser Center Marker shows the middle
of the picture when the bottom light is used
If you use the Visualizer to record objects outside of the
working surface, the light it is no longer identical with the
pickup-area of the built-in camera.
#22 Manual WHITE BALANCE adjustment
Each time the lighting condition changes (sun light, neon
light, halogen light...), the user should adjust the white
balance of the Visualizer, in order to optimize the color
reproduction.
For adjusting the white balance to the top light of the
Visualizer, zoom in on a white object until there is only
white on the screen. Then press the W.B. key. For
adjusting the White balance to the bottom light of the
Visualizer, switch the bottom light on, remove everything
from the working surface and press the W.B. key
#23 MENU key
Press this key for one second in order to see the on-
screen menu on your screen. The on-screen menu can be
used for detailed settings of the Visualizer. It should only
be used by technically skilled persons.
