Rack-Mount Installation PresentationPRO units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount hardware. Rear rack-mount brackets are available as a kit and are recommended for use when units are mounted in transit cases. When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C. Leave at least one inch of space front and rear to make sure that the airflow through the fan and vent holes is not restricted.
Video Input Connections The video input section on the PresentationPRO rear panel provides seven universal inputs. Each input accepts RGB, YUV, S-Video (Y/C), or composite (NTSC or PAL) video signals. The connections for each input channel are made via HD-15 connectors. No adapter cables are required to connect standard computer sources. Adapter cables are available from the factory to facilitate connection to sources that utilize BNC or S-Video connectors.
Video Output Connections Two independently buffered RGB outputs are provided. The video on the two output connectors is identical and the signals are designed to connect to projectors and monitors with standard HD-15 cables. One output should be connected to the projection system. The other output may be used for remote monitoring or down-converted to allow the presentation to be recorded. Note that the type of output sync can be selected to match application requirements.
Audio Input Connections A/V Inputs Each video input has an associated stereo audio input. Mating connectors are provided with the unit to facilitate connection of the audio inputs. The mating connector is FRI P/N 14-9000050-00. The pinout of the connectors is illustrated in the figure below. + Left - Left GND + Right - Right + SH + R L LINE Input The LINE Input is a non-switched input that may be mixed with microphone audio as well as audio from the selected A/V source.
Serial Port Connections (Optional) Connection pins on the RS-232 connector are specified below.

Power Up Initialization Locate the power switch on the rear panel and turn PresentationPRO ON. While PresentationPRO is initializing, the following menu will be displayed: PresentationPRO Version 1.02 Initializing Please Wait... The second line of the menu displays the version of software that is currently being executed. The software version number will change as software upgrades are released. The most current software version is available for download from the Folsom Research web site at ftp://ftp.
The first column of the menu identifies the audio controls and the second column is a graphical “slider” with a marker. The position of the marker represents the volume level of each control. The third column of the menu is a status indicator that may assume three states: ON, OFF, or MUTE. When an audio control key is pressed, the corresponding line on the display becomes active and the corresponding text is highlighted.
INPUT A-V SETUP # MENU MODE STANDARD RIGHT EDGE LEFT EDGE TOP EDGE BOTTOM EDGE CONTRAST 100.0% BRIGHTNESS 100.0% INPUT TYPE S-VIDEO COLOR BAL >> PROCESSING >> AUDIO >> UNDO CHANGES RESET CONFIG SAVE CONFIG There are two menu modes, Standard and Advanced. The Standard menus are sufficient for most users. The Advanced menus provide controls for 1:1 pixel sampling features to optimize image quality for critical applications.
scroll to the Input Type menu, select the menu item with the SEL key and then turn the ADJUST control to select the desired format while viewing the output screen. Color Balance The Color Balance menu line calls up a submenu where color balance adjustments are performed. Scroll to the Color Balance menu line and press the SEL key to display the Color Balance Submenu. The Color Balance menu corresponding to the current contents of the Input Type field (directly above this menu field) will be displayed.
Color Balance Submenus There are 3 different types of Color Balance submenus as described below. Each submenu corresponds to a specific type of input video as selected in the Input Type field of the Input Setup menu. RGB Color Balance Submenu This menu allows the operator to balance the colors on an RGB input source. Independent Contrast and Brightness adjustments are provided for each color channel.
Beta 50, Beta 60, MII, and EBU Color Balance Submenus This menu allows the operator to adjust saturation on Beta 50, Beta 60, MII, and EBU input sources. Parameters entered by the operator are saved as part of the input configuration file for the corresponding video input channel. BETA COLOR BALANCE SATURATION 100.
3:2 Seq Detect This menu item is applicable only for standard video (component, s-video, composite) video inputs. The default mode is off. The 3:2 Sequence Detect feature should be turned on to process video derived from film source material, which is usually recorded at 24 frames per second. Video Bandwidth This menu item is applicable only for S-Video and Composite video inputs. The default mode is Full. The Reduced setting can be used to soften the image by reducing horizontal bandwidth.
sampling errors can cause noise on the output image. Both the sample clock frequency and phase must be correct to obtain a properly sampled image. The unit incorporates automatic adjustments in the 1:1 Sampling mode. 1:1 Sampling Operation To automatically set-up for 1:1 Pixel Sampling, the input image should have non-black data at the edges and have some amount of text or other graphics. The standard Windows GUI is a good example.
(1365x768) and (1365x1024). Press SEL to accept the newly entered settings or ESC key to exit without accepting the changes that have been entered. Please note that selections for this menu item do not become active until the SEL key is depressed. Frame Rate The Frame Rate menu item allows the user to select the desired output frame rate.
Effects Menu The Effects Menu allows the user to adjust the effect duration for transitions as well as the type of transition to be performed. EFFECTS WIPE TYPE EDGE ADJ TRANS TIME TRANS MODE FREEZE MODE RIGHT 16 1.0 IMAGE OFF Wipe Type To control the type of wipe transition select the Wipe Type menu item with the SEL key and then turn the adjustment knob to select the desired transition.

When ECHO is ON, commands received by the unit will be transmitted back to the source device. Baud Rate The following baud rate settings are supported 1.2K, 2.4K, 9.6K, 19.2K, and 38.4K. Data Bit The number of data bits per character can be set to 7 or 8. Stop Bit The number of stop bits can be set to 0, 1 or 2. Parity Parity can be set to Even, Odd or None.
Pressing SEL will reset the system to factory configuration and reboot the system. All stored input configuration files are cleared. Pressing ESC will return to the Misc Menu. Startup Menu The STARTUP MENU Menu allows the user to define the startup menu to be AUDIO or SETUP using the SEL button and the adjustment knob. Pressing SEL will set the startup menu, but the system save feature must be performed from the SETUP MENU to effect the change for the next power up.
