Operating the Visualizer for the first time - Quick Setup Guide

The working surface of the Visualizer has a special crystalline white color, which is especially designed for

perfect reproduction of transparencies.

In the following cases, an optional lightbox is recommended:

- If the transparency is very dark

- If the transparency is very wavy and causes reflections

- If the room light causes reflections on a transparency

The optional whiteboard foil can be used for direct annotation with special whiteboard markers. WolfVision

offers spare whiteboard foils.

More information at www.wolfvision.com (Products/Accessories)

Working Surface (#2)

The synchronized laser markers make positioning of objects very

easy by marking the corners of the picked-up image on the working

surface. The laser center marker zooms synchronous to the camera

zoom and shows the 16:9 pick-up area of the camera.

Additionally the built-in LCD monitor eliminates the need for an extra

control monitor. This monitor can show different signals, like always

live image from the Visualizer, even when the signal on main output is

frozen, or always the same than the main output (selectable in the on-

screen menu - see page 19). The on-screen menu is also visible on

this LCD monitor.

In order to eliminate reflections (on high gloss photographs etc.) just turn

the light upwards or downwards slightly (default position is horizontal).

It is also possible to move the document and rotate the camera head to

the center of the desired pick-up area to eliminate reflections.

The curvature of the working plate is specially designed to eliminate

reflections.

Please note that reflections can also be caused by general room lighting

conditions.

Reflections

Shooting Area Outside of the Working Surface

Close-up adaptor lens

For shooting an object outside of the working surface, the close up lens

(#8) has to be tipped up. It is impossible to remove the lens completely

from the unit and therefore it cannot get lost.

When using the Visualizer to record on the working surface again, put the

close up lens back to its original position.

The camera can be tilted by 290° (110° to the speaker and 180° to the

audience).

Turning the light / flexible viewing angle

In order to enable recordings with illumination outside of the working

surface, the light of the Visualizer can be turned vertically.

To record at a lower viewing angle than the normal working position, just

fold the arm of the Visualizer as much as required, turn the camera head

and the light to pick up the desired object.

By default, the unit activates the stand by mode when the arm will be

folded. This behavior can be changed in the unit's on-screen menu (see

page 19).

Image Flip

By turning the camera head to record in front of the Visualizer, the image

will automatically be turned 180 degrees (”image flip”). This feature is

very useful for recording the face of the presenter or objects hanging on

the wall behind the unit.

Please note that the Visualizer has an optical 16x zoom. The digital 4x zoom increases the overall zoom

range to a 64x zoom. The smallest pickup size on the working surface without digital zoom is 25 x 19mm

(1" x 0.8"). When you zoom in further the digital zoom is automatically activated and the smallest pickup

size is 6 x 4mm (0.23" x 0.16"). However please be aware that when the digital zoom is used, the

resolution of the picture is not as good as before. The default setting displays a message on-screen when

you are in the digital zoom mode.

The behavior of the Visualizer in the digital zoom mode can be changed in the on-screen menu (see page

19).

Optical Zoom / Digital Zoom

WolfVision Visualizers are equipped with an auto exposure. This means that the brightness of the camera

image adjusts automatically. Using the EXPOSURE keys (#30) manually darkens or brightens the image.

The standard auto exposure level (Image Brightness) can also be set brighter or darker in the unit's on-

screen menu. When picking up areas with bright spots, Back Light Compensation can be switched on in the

unit‘s on-screen menu - see page 19 and on-screen help.

Automatic / Manual Exposure

Focusing / Autofocus

Please note that objects with very low contrast (like a blank sheet of paper) are difficult to focus. If the

autofocus does not work just move the object slightly.

For special applications the autofocus can also be switched off using the on/off switch (#41 or #59). The

autofocus is also switched off when the manual FOCUS keys (#42 or #58) are used.

The Visualizer offers the possibility to store the current settings as a Preset and recall them by just pressing

the respective PRESET key (#38) on the remote control.

Preset 1 can be also controlled with the PRESET key on the camera head (#57).

For storing a reset adjust y function as required and then PRESET key for 2

seconds . An on-screen message inform you when the Preset is stored.

As mentioned above, when presets are stored all current settings such as zoom, focus, iris etc. are also

stored. Contrary to this, a user also has the opportunity to assign specific functions such as LIGHT”,

"NEGATIVE", "NEGATIVE/BLUE", "BLACK/WHITE", "FREEZE" etc. to a PRESET key in the on-screen

menu of the Visualizer (see page 19).

When picking up documents in portrait and lanscape orientation, assign the function „ASPECT RATIO” to a

PRESET key. This will toggle the aspect ratio of the camera between 4:3 and 16:9 mode.

Correct white balance adjustment is important for an exact color reproduction!

For an exact white balance, at least 10% of the recorded image should be white.

For a precise fixed white balance adjustment use the "One Push" white balance. This can be done by

pressing the LIGHT key (#16) for 2 seconds . When the white balance is stored

an on-screen message appears. Setting a "One Push" white balance switches off the "Auto Tracking" mode

(when the unit is switched off and on again the "Auto Tracking" mode will be reactivated).

For specialists: The Visualizer can be switched between "Auto Tracking", "One Push" and "Manual"

white balance mode in the on-screen menu (see page 19). If you work with negative transparencies and a

lightbox, use a blank (black in the image) part of the negative film for white balance adjustment! The "one

Push" white balance will be separately adjusted and stored for top light, slide box and external lightbox (no

light).

Each time the lighting condition changes, the Visualizer's camera must readjust its white balance, in order

to optimize the color reproduction. The lighting condition (color temperature) changes, for example, if

changing between the Visualizer's light and an external lightbox (bottom light) or if the room light is turning

on or off.

The standard setting of the Visualizer is "Auto Tracking" white balance.

Normally there is no need for a manual white balance adjustment. However, if the colors on the screen still

appear to be wrong, the white balance can be adjusted manually (one-push):

Hints to perform a One-Push white balance:

Top light:

Zoom in on a white object (e.g. a sheet of paper) until there is only white on the screen and press the

for 2 seconds.

Lightbox with transparencies:

Turn off the light of the Visualizer with the LIGHT key and switch on the lightbox. Remove everything from

the lightbox, zoom to the smallest picture size until there is only white on the screen and press the

for 2 seconds.

Lightbox with x-rays:

Turn off the light of the Visualizer with the LIGHT key and switch on the lightbox. Place an x-ray on the

lightbox, zoom out until the whole x-ray is picked up and press the for 2 seconds.

Please note: False colors can also be caused by incorrect color settings on a connected projector or

monitor. It is recommended to adjust the white balance of the Visualizer at first and if the results are still not

satisfactory, the monitor or projector should be checked.

This means that the white balance

is continuously adjusted automatically.

Built-in Digital Scaler (for HDMI-In, USB-Stick and vSolution Connect)

The Visualizer has a built-in digital image scaler which can process the signals from the external inputs and

output it in the same mode as the Visualizer image (For example: If the Visualizer is set to output an 1080p

(FullHD) image to the projector and the computer outputs an XGA signal, the scaler of the Visualizer

converts the XGA image of the computer to 1080p. As a result the projector does not readjust the input

mode when switching between the Visualizer and computer image).

In addition images on a connected USB-stick are automatically scaled to the current output mode of the

Visualizer.

The output resolution of the Visualizer can be changed in the on-screen menu (see page 19).

Integrated Seamless Switch

The Visualizer has an integrated Seamless Switch.

This allows for a seamless transition (fade-over/dissolve effect) when switching between the Visualizer

image, the image from the external input, the memory (internal and USB-stick), or the stream (vSolution

Connect by WolfVision).

The behavior of the Visualizer can be changed in the on-screen menu (see page 19).

The Picture in Picture Mode offers the possibility to show two different

pictures at the same time on one screen. Just press

to activate the Picture in Picture mode. The current picture (e.g.

external signal, image memory) will be shown in the lower left corner

and the live image will be shown in the upper right corner. The size of

the live image is much bigger.

The content of the live image can be changed by recalling a stored

image memory.

Following comparisons are possible: HDMI-In, image memory, live

image. The content from the small image is frozen, except when the

signal from the HDMI-In is shown, then it shows live content of the

external source.

the PiP key

The behavior of the PiP mode can be changed in the on-screen menu,

Send Stream to Network

The Visualizer has a built-in streaming server which is capable of broadcasting audio and video content

over the network.

(#52)

Select desired resolution, frame rate and format (keep in mind, these settings are influencing the network

traffic).

To open the stream with a third party application, just input the network URL into the address field:

Internet Browser, example: http://192.168.0.2

Media Player, example: http://192.168.0.2/stream.sdp

The necessary IP address is the IP-address of the Visualizer (on-screen menu Advanced Settings /

Ethernet Settings).

The Visualizer broadcasts the currently shown content of video (live camera, external HDMI-IN or memory)

and audio (HDMI-In or Line-In) to the network.

For full functionality JAVA version 7 or higher is necessary when using a browser to listen.

For full functionality VLC (PC) or QuickTime (Mac) plug-in is necessary when using a browser to listen.

Ensure that the used IP-addresses and ports are not blocked by any firewall.

(ports: tcp 80, tcp 50915, tcp 50921, udp 123, udp 8800, 8802 (default), udp 50000, udp 50913, udp 50914)

Please note, some network routers are not able to forward multicast streams.

Network access is limited to 128 simultaneous open connections.

More detailed information will be found in the online guide How To Connect the Visualizer to a Network”.

Prepare Ethernet connection (wired or wireless) and select ”Stream/Recording Settings” in the on-screen

menu Advanced Settings. There you can assign the IP address of the destination (for multicast select:

225.0.0.0 to 238.255.255.255; with all other addresses the stream can be received at one destination only;

224.x.x.x and 239.x.x.x are reserved.), port, mode, resolution, frame rate and format of the stream (up to

RTP H264).

With mode setting ”AUTO” the Visualizer streams on demand only. The software vSolution Link by

WolfVision and most internet browsers can start the stream automatically. In case your browser or third

party application (media player) cannot start the streaming function, use the STREAMING key or

change the mode to ”Continuous” for permanent streaming (please note the resulting network traffic).

Technical Background:

UDP Multicast works like a broadcast - many clients are watching the same video stream. In Multicast mode

the bandwidth is always the same, no matter how many computers are connected. However as many

routers do not support Multicast, UDP Unicast can be used instead for point-to-point connection (one client

is possible). Audio will be supported with RTP formats.

In TCP Singlecast mode each computer opens a separate connection to the Visualizer, which requires a lot

of bandwidth if many clients are connected. Audio is not supported in TCP-mode.

Hints:

At the left lower corner, respective icons will inform you about active streaming, recording and mic status.

Receive Stream - vSolution Connect by WolfVision (tablet)

The Visualizer supports receiving network streams from a tablet over the network.

Once the vSolution Connect app is downloaded to the tablet, connect the tablet to the same network as the

Visualizer and start the app. Then simply tap the ”Connect” icon, place it in the pick-up area of the Visualizer

camera and follow the instructions on the tablet. The synchronization will be done by a special red/blue

flashing sequence.

When the connection is established, documents from the tablet can be sent to the Visualizer or the tablet

can receive the displayed image. The tablet can also be used as a whiteboard and for storing image and

video material.

To swap from tablet source to e.g. Visualizer camera just press the LIVE key (#40) on the remote control. To

switch back, press the STRM key (#48).

Please note:

vSolution Connect blocks video recording on the Visualizer, use recording function on the tablet.

vSolution Connect blocks every other stream via Ethernet and USB.

For regular use of the WolfVision Visualizer, it is not necessary to go into the Visualizer's menu and change

settings. Inexperienced users should not make any adjustments here.

To enter the on-screen menu press the MENU key (#54 or #60; when using the key on the camera head,

keep it pressed until the menu appears). Settings of the Visualizer's basic functions and the built-in camera

can be made here using the 4 navigation keys on the remote control (=the keys with arrows #32 and #53) or

navigation keys on the camera head (#56, #57 and #58).

If more information on a function in the on-screen menu is required, set the cursor in the respective line and

press the ? HELP key (#31 or #59). A detailed description of this function appears on the screen.

By pressing the MENU key for 4 seconds the Extra Menu appears. In the Extra Menu, e.g. the zoom wheel

can be calibrated. Recalling the Factory Reset will reset all settings including resolution and IP address to

the default.

The functions of the on-screen menu are not described in detail in this user manual as the help menu is an

integrated part of the Visualizer's software (firmware). The information you see on your screen always

belongs to the current Visualizer firmware.

The following chapter is for experienced users only:
