The Visualizer turns the picture electronically 90 and outputs it the right way up with much higher resolution than in normal mode The left and right margins are black A Computer can be connected to the External RGBHV input 42 of the Visualizer With the Ext Int switch 50 a user can switch between the Visualizer and computer image to be displayed to the audience The signal from the computer is just looped through the Visualizer and is not processed in any way In order to avoid that your projector or monitor adjusts itself when switching it is recommended that you set the output of the computer to the same signal format SXGA XGA or SVGA and vertical frequency 75 or 60Hz as the Visualizer The default output settings of the Visualizer is XGA 1024x768 at 60Hz You achieve the best results if you set the output of the computer and Visualizer to the native resolution of your projector or monitor see page 5 Please note that the picture from the External RGBHV input 42 can not be output on the PAL NTSC video outputs 44 45 and the digital part of the DVI 37 output The image form the External input is not output at the PAL NTSC video outputs 44 and 45 SYNC OUTPUTS for specialists only The default sync setting of the RGBHV outputs 40 41 and 43 is separate horizontal HD and vertical VD sync signals However if your display device does not support separate sync inputs you should switch t2. 43 5523 52250 Fax 43 5523 52249 E Mail wolfvision wolfvision com Internet Homepage http www wolfvision com E Mail to technical support support wolfvision com American distribution WolfVision Inc 655 Sky Way Suite 119 San Carlos CA 94070 USA Tel 650 802 0786 and 1 800 356WOLF Fax 650 802 0788 E Mail wolfvision usa wolfvision com American distribution WolfVision Inc 3575 Koger Blvd Suite 330 Duluth Ga30096 USA Tel 770 931 6802 and 1 877 873WOLF Fax 770 931 6906 E Mail wolfvision usa wolfvision com Asian representation WolfVision Asia 27 Woodlands Ind Park E1 01 04 Hiang Kie Ind Bldg IV Singapore 757718 Tel 65 366 9288 Fax 65 366 9280 E mail info wolfvisionasia com Chinese distribution WolfVision China Rm 909 Jin Yhong Building 680 Zhao Jia Bang Rd Shanghai China 200031 Tel 81 21 6472 2426 Fax 81 21 6472 2426 018 E mail amy china wolfvisionasia com Homepage www wolfvisionasia com Canadian distribution WolfVision Canada Inc 2662 Lancaster Road Ottawa ON K1B 4T7 Canada Tel 613 741 9898 Tollfree 1 877 513 2002 Fax 613 741 3747 Tollfree 1 877 513 1993 E Mail wolfvision canada wolfvision com German distribution WolfVision Germany Vlbg Wirtschaftspark A 6840 Goetzis AUSTRIA Tel 0800 9828 787 only from Germany 43 5523 52250 Fax 43 5523 52249 E Mail wolfvision deutschland wolfvision com The professional WolfVision Visualizer system was
