The new

Pro-Vue Interactive

provides a whole new dimension to interactive teaching and presentation; all the benefits of an interactive

whiteboard... without the whiteboard!
The Pro-Vue features integrated infrared technology which means that virtually any white (or light coloured) surface can be used as an

interactive screen! From a conventional wipe-clean whiteboard, to retractable tripod screens - or simply walls, ceilings or even floors!

- any surface can be used as a fully interactive screen. In addition, the size of your interactive ‘screen’ is only limited to the space

available (imagine how big the screen could be using a simple, clear wall in the school hall?).
... And your interactive projector is

fully portable

. Easily stored/transported in a lightweight canvas bag, Pro-Vue Interactive can be

taken anywhere your interactive presentation needs to go; whether it be room-to-room, city-to-city or even international travel

(imagine

trying to transport any conventional interactive whiteboard setup on your next flight?!)

Accessories Introduction

Function of the “E-Wand”

When the silver button on the E-Wand body is pressed,
an infrared signal is emitted, which is detected by the IR
Sensor integrated within the Projector (when the button is
pressed and an IR signal emitted, the LED on the E-Wand
lights red).

Before using the Wand.

Screw the Telescopic Rod into the Wand body firmly.

How to use:

1) Extend the telescopic E-Wand to the required length.

2) Position the tip of the E-Wand on the ‘screen’.

3) Push the E-Wand button to click the target as in ‘mouse’
function, or click and hold the button to draw or write in
‘pen’ function.

Function of the “E-Pen”

How to use:

When  the  tip  of  the  E-Pen  is  pressed  (such  as  onto  the
‘screen’  area),  an  infrared  signal  is  emitted,  which  is
detected  by  the  IR  sensor  integrated  within  the  Pro-Vue
Projector.
1) Position the tip of the E-Pen on the ‘screen’
2) Press the E-Pen on the screen to click the target as in
‘mouse’ function; press and drag to draw or write in ‘pen’
function.

PLEASE NOTE: As the sensor is located in the
tip of the E-Pen, it is very important to ensure the
E-Pen is switched off when not in use to avoid
unnecessary battery consumption.

Good Practice use of the E-Pen & E-Wand when presenting/teaching:

Please note that as the Pro-Vue functions using infrared light, a ‘line-of-sight’ between the E-Pen/E-Wand and the Projector
is essential for effective use.

Therefore, good-practice use requires the presenter/teacher to ensure the E-Pen/E-Wand is used out of any shadow area,
which may occur dependent on your positioning of the projector to screen. Ceiling-mounting the projector, or use of the
E-Wand (as opposed to the E-Pen) in portable/temporary applications, will significantly reduce the possibility of shadow.

Using the E-Wand will all but eliminate any
‘in-shadow’ issues.

With your back to the audience, the E-Pen is
most likely to be in shadow.

Facing side-on to the screen and your audience
will significantly reduce shadow.

Troubleshooting

1. Q: Why does it show “No LightPen

found”?

Reasons for this might be:

The USB cable is not properly connected.

Check cable connections at computer and

Pro-Vue Projector.

Should the Lightpen icon appear with a red cross

in your Toolbar, the USB cable may have been

disconnected at computer/projector. Check

connections are correct and secure.

Some Anti-virus programs will disable the USB

port. Please make sure the USB port is not

disabled.

Please check if the USB port of the PC supports

USB 2.0 or not.

You may have the wrong USB cable. Ensure to

use the cable supplied with your Pro-Vue Projector.

Should you require a longer lead, please contact

your dealer.

USB port on computer malfunctions. Please check

if the USB port is functioning correctly. If not,

please consult with IT engineer.

Some notebook computers will disable USB ports

when the battery is low. Please use AC power whenever

possible. Some notebook computers do not provide

standard 500mA to the USB port or the USB converter

is not working properly. In such case, please use our

standard USB cable.

2. Q: Why can I not execute calibration

on the green cross target?

Please check E-Pen/E-Wand are functioning:

1.1

Please check if E-Pen/E-Wand batteries or battery

cap is loose.

1.2

When using E-Pen or E-Wand, be sure to locate

the tip in the sight of the CMOS sensor in front of

the projector. If the sensor cannot see it, the

Interactive system does not work.

The ambient light may be too strong. Take the

light out of the sight of the CMOS sensor. Strong

ambient light is usually caused by the following:

2.1

Sunlight through the windows near the screen.

2.2

Light source working close to the sensor or

the screen.

In Windows Vista system, one of the green cross

targets may be hidden by “start” square of

computer/notebook computer. Please point to the

position as shown for calibration.

3. Q: The cursor is not at the same

position as the E-Pen/E-Wand is

pointing:

Possible reasons for this are:

The system is not calibrated well. Try to point to the

“center” of green cross target when you run

calibration.

The position of the projector, screen or projection

size has been changed.

The image resolution has been changed. Running

the calibration procedure again will solve the

problem.

4. Q: Why is the cursor jumping?

This may be caused by strong ambient light

interference. Try to avoid strong ambient light

interference, especially strong sunlight directly

projected on the screen.

(Please refer to Question 2.)

Warranty Statement

PVI2600 is supplied with a 3 year warranty package, comprising of:-

1 Year full parts and labour, plus a further 2 Years parts only*

All warranties are provided on a RTB basis**.

* Excludes lamp assemblies which carry an independent 2000 hour operational life span and Accessories (e.g. Lightpen
and Wand) which carry a 1 Year warranty only.

** It is the responsibility of the user/installer to return any PVI2600 to CIE for validation and inspection of any warranty
claim.

5. Q: Why is the LightPen not working

after the computer wakes up from

standby?

In some cases, if the computer goes into standby

mode, the computer will shut the USB port.

In such case, please wake up computer,

unplug and insert the USB cable again.

(Please refer to Question 1)

6. Q: There are ‘blank spots’ where

I am writing/drawing with the

E-Pen/E-Wand:

Ensure your E-Pen/E-Wand is not ‘shadowed’ from

line-of-sight with the Projector

(see ‘Good Practice’

guidelines on Page 04)

You may be writing/drawing over an animated

graphic (eg. animated gif/flash file in a web page).

In such cases the computer sees this as redrawing

over the previous screen. Avoid animated graphic

areas when drawing/writing with the E-Tools.
