Chapter 4 Cyclops F/X Your projector comes with Cyclops F/X—software effects that you can use to make your presentations more interesting and effective. For example, you can use the Spotlight to call attention to specific areas on the image, use the Zoom or Magnify effects to focus on important information in the image, or use See-it/Show-it to preview images on your computer without distracting your audience.
INSTALLING CYCLOPS F/X Follow these steps to install the Cyclops F/X software: 1 Insert the disk labeled Proxima Cyclops F/X into your computer's floppy drive. 2 Do one of the following: • In Windows 95, choose Start, Run, then type a:\setup.exe (or the drive letter for your floppy drive). • In Windows 3.x, choose File, Run, then type a:\setup.exe (or the drive letter for your floppy drive).
The main screen of the F/X program appears: Figure 4-2 Cyclops F/X special effects On the left side of this window is a list of the special effects. The Assignments area in the middle of the window provides options that allow you to customize your remote and software. Note: If you open a menu, or if you're using the LightBoard tool, Cyclops F/X will be suspended. ASSIGNMENTS AREA The Assignments area displays the custom remote keys and their current assignments.
The Assignments area also contains five buttons: BUTTON FUNCTION Setup Remote Lets you switch the assignments display between the included Cyclops remote control and the optional Cyclops wand or laser pointer. Put Away Minimizes the F/X screen. Edit Effect Allows you to assign a shortcut key to the effect. You can also use this option to customize an effect. Projector Setting Allows you to adjust image, audio, and general settings on your projector.
Note: To access effects that are assigned to the Prog 1 and Prog 2 keys, assign the settings for those keys (in the projector's Preferences menu) to Host. USING THE CYCLOPS INTERACTIVE POINTER SYSTEM You can use the Cyclops interactive pointer system with Cyclops F/X. To set up the software, click Setup Wand/Laser in the Assignments area of the main screen. The following screen appears: Figure 4-3 Cyclops interactive pointer screen Click the Show Navigation Bar checkbox to enable the navigation bar.
Figure 4-4 Edit Cyclops Navigation screen Use this screen to assign different options to the navigation bar. To assign a new function to the navigation bar, click the Next or Previous areas and assign a function using the list boxes to the right. You can also use this screen to define where the navigation bar will appear on your display. The default is Lower Left.
SEE-IT/SHOW-IT See-it/Show-it is a feature of Cyclops F/X that previews the next slide in your presentation on your computer monitor—without switching from the slide your audience sees. The See-it/Show-it feature displays the image, along with a timer that counts down on your computer monitor until See-it/Show-it displays the next slide. You can use See-it/Show-it to preview slides so that you can interact with your audience, while preparing for the message on the next slide.
FREEZE The Freeze option freezes the image on your projector so you can use your remote to control your computer. This might be handy when you want to perform functions on your computer without distracting your audience from your presentation. To edit the Freeze key settings, click the Edit Freeze Key option in the Assignments area. The following screen appears: Figure 4-6 Edit Freeze Key screen To use Freeze: 1 Press Pause on your Cyclops remote. 2 Use any of the remote keys to control your computer.
STARTING AN EFFECT Once you’ve customized an effect, you’re ready to use it. 1 Before the presentation, start Cyclops F/X, then minimize the main screen. 2 During your presentation, press the key or button that you assigned to each effect to start the desired effect. THE PRESENTATION EFFECTS The following are the Presentation Effects. To end any of the effects, press the Esc key on your keyboard or the key on remote that you assigned for that effect.
Magnify enlarges a rectangular area around the mouse pointer. You can choose from three levels of magnification (200 percent, 400 percent, or 800 percent). Note: To enlarge the entire screen, use the Zoom effect. Next/Previous advances to the next or previous slide. Object allows you to draw rectangles, squares, ellipses, and circles. You can change the color and width of each shape. Refresh repaints the projected image. Use this feature to erase “remnants” of Stamp and Telestrator effects.
Title Screen projects an image from a .BMP file. You can use this effect to show a predefined image with transition effects during a presentation. You can also play an associated sound. Just specify which file to play and indicate whether to play it when the image appears or continuously. Zoom enlarges the entire image to 200, 400, or 800 percent of its original size. You choose whether to show the mouse pointer during a Zoom and indicate the level of magnification.
Options menu The Options menu offers commands that allow you to set up assignments on the remote, wand, or laser pointer, change the look and feel of the cursor, and change the COM port settings. MENU ITEM FUNCTION Setup Remote Allows you to display the assignments area for the Cyclops remote control or the optional Cyclops wand or laser pointer. Cursor Options Changes the look and feel of the cursor.
Chapter 5 Maintenance REPLACING THE LAMP Follow these steps to remove the lamp and install a new one: 1 Press the key to turn the lamp off. This allows the fans to cool the lamp assembly for 30 seconds. 2 After the fan stops, turn off the projector and remove the power cord from the projector’s power receptacle. CAUTION!
