Aim the Remote Control at the Camera Head

The remote control sensor (the component that receives the infrared signals from the remote control) is located on the camera head. You must aim the remote control at the camera head for it to be effective. Pointing it at the monitor or screen on which images are being displayed will not work.

Remote Control Sensor

Even if people understand this intellectually, once they get up in front of a real audience, many end up pointing the remote control at the screen and clicking with all their might. We highly recommend that you plan an on-site rehearsal before starting a presentation.

Note The effective range of the remote control from the remote control sensor is

approximately 16 ft. (5 m) at 120 degrees horizontally and 30 degrees vertically.

Check the Battery Charge Prior to Use

The cause of a remote control not responding at all during a presentation is generally an insufficient battery charge. Remember to always check the battery charge before you need the remote control. Keep an extra set of batteries handy if you are uncertain about the remaining charge. See Changing the Remote Control Batteries (p. 109) for instructions.

Placing Objects Find a document or other object and place it at the center of the object stage, the white translucent portion.

1. Place the document or object in the center of the object stage, orienting it as shown in the illustration.

Is the document or object displayed correctly in the large screen monitor, projector screen or your computer monitor? If it does not display, see Chapter 5, Troubleshooting.

Now try putting your hand on the document or object. Notice how the display changes in real time. The movement may appear slightly irregular on the screen. This real-time display is referred to as the preview mode. More details about this are contained in Chapter 3. At this point, it is sufficient to confirm that the real-time display is working.

Note Please note that the minor decrease in image quality and irregularity of

movement is due to the limitations imposed by the transfer rate of the USB cables. The difference in quality between images captured in still mode and preview mode is so great as to preclude comparison.

A Few of the Basics We will now introduce you to a few procedures involving the remote control.

!!! Important !!! Aim the remote control at the sensor on the camera head to execute

commands. For details, see the section entitled Important Instructions for the Remote Control (P.23).

Note Each of the functions introduced in this section, such as zooming, can also

be controlled from the main units control panel or your computer. This explanation in this chapter is written on the premise that you will probably use the remote control in an actual presentation. For instructions for controlling the DZ-3600U from the control panel or a computer, see the respective explanations in Chapter 3.

In this chapter, we explained how one image is captured and displayed. In fact, more than one image can be captured and saved onto the computer disks. See Chapter 3 for more detail on the wide array of DZ-3600U functions.

32

Zooming

This topic will explain how to change the size at which an object appears in the display. The size is changed with the zoom function.

1. Press the [T] button on the remote control for two or three seconds. The display will show a

close-up of the document or object.

2. Press the [W] button in the same manner. The display will gradually return to

its former state.

1. Press the [Capture] button on the remote control. The capture will start once

you press the capture button, and the captured image will appear in the computers display after a few moments.

The toolbar will vanish from the display after a few moments. There is no need for concern. This is discussed in Chapter 3.

You will note the high resolution of this image compared to the previous real-time images.

Now try placing you hand on the document or object in the same manner as before. Note that nothing will change in the display. That is because the display is not currently showing a real-time image. Instead, it is showing an image that has been loaded into the computer. The DZ-3600U is now in what we call the still mode.

The difference between the preview and still modes is a key concept for operating the DZ-3600U with Presentation Software. Keep this concept in mind as you read further.

Note The image quality (fineness or resolution of the image) can be set to one of

two settings. Chapter 3 discusses this in greater detail.

About the Bundled Software This topic features the two programs bundled with the DZ-3600U.

The Two Programs to Install

The software installed onto your computer with the setup utility includes DZ-3600U Presentation Software, an application program, and DZ-3600U TWAIN Driver, a driver for capturing images.

DZ-3600U Presentation Software

This application program assists in creating effective full-featured presentations with the DZ-3600U Digital Document Camera. It allows you to adjust the size and brightness of the high-definition still images captured by the camera for display with a projector or other device. Because you can capture any number of images in advance, and even switch between application programs on the fly, your presentations will progress smoothly and naturally. Moreover, most of the functions can be operated with the remote control, which can be easily managed by virtually anyone.

Note Presentation So ftw are also w orks with Primary Pr esentation Application

(PPA) compliant application pr ograms, such as Micr osoft P owerPoint, making it possible to achieve even more dynamic presentations (see psge 84).

The ( ) butt on at the t op right o f the windo w can be used t o tempo- rarily minimize the Pr esentation So ftw are windo w on the Windo ws deskt op. To restore it, click the DZ-3600U Pr esentation So ftw are icon on the Windo ws taskbar .

A n Introduction to the Features

DZ-3600U TWAIN Driver

This driver software is for use within standard image processing (graphics) application programs to capture still images from the DZ- 3600U. This driver allows you to use the graphics programs with which you are the most familiar to operate the DZ-3600U as a three-dimensional scanner.

For operating instructions, refer to the section entitled Capturing Images with TWAIN Driver (P.86).

!!! Important !!! Application programs must be TWAIN-compliant (TWAIN_32) to be used

with the DZ-3600U TWAIN Driver.

Preview Mode and Still Mode The first priority in using the Presentation Software program is to learn the distinction between the preview mode and the still mode.

Presentation Software features two modes, the preview and still modes, and is always in one mode or the other. The following topic addresses the significance and role of the respective modes.

Note Present ation So ftware starts up in the pr eview mode . The instructions f or swit ching betw een the tw o modes ar e contained in the

explanations f or v arious functions (P .50, 60).

Preview Mode

The preview mode is for viewing objects in real time on a computer display (or other device connected to the computer, such as a projector or large screen monitor).

Wide Frame

A wide frame appears around the edges of the display when this mode is active. Since the image changes in real-time in preview mode, the preview mode is convenient for aligning objects and adjusting the zoom and brightness before attempting to capture a high-resolution image.

A n Introduction to the Features

Still Mode

The still mode is for viewing images on a computer display (or other device connected to the computer, such as a projector or large screen monitor) that have been loaded from the DZ-3600U into the computer.

Off-Line Display of Images Loaded onto a Computer

In still mode, you can switch between or change the display size of numerous previously loaded images. You can tell when Presentation Software is in this mode because the wide frame is missing from the edges of the image.

Toolbar and Status Bar This topic briefly explains the buttons and message area that appear at the top of the Presentation Software window.

Toolbar

The toolbar is the area at the top of the window that contains the buttons for controlling various Presentation Software functions. The buttons on the toolbar change according to the mode.

Toolbar in Preview Mode

Toolbar in Still Mode

!!! Important !!! Some buttons, such as the ( ) button, are split into two sections

with a left and right portion. Please note that each section represents a different command.

Note Positioning the mouse cursor o ver a butt on will cause its name t o display

after a fe w moments .

Status Bar

The status bar is the area that appears directly under the toolbar. This bar automatically displays the current mode and various other messages that indicate the DZ-3600Us state. In still mode, the status bar also contains menus, such as the zoom menu for adjusting image display sizes.

A n Introduction to the Features

Display/Hide the Toolbar and Status Bar

The toolbar and status bar are intended as tools for the presenters and their helpers, and are not meant to be seen by the audience. Presentation Software, therefore, provides the means to easily hide and display them.

Display the Toolbar and Status Bar Move the mouse cursor to the top of the window The toolbar and status bar

will display.

Hide the Toolbar and Status Bar Method 1: Click any part of the window away from the toolbar or status bar (the image display section). Method 2: Position the mouse on any part of the window away from the toolbar and status bar for approximately 2 seconds. The toolbar and status bar

will disappear.

Note The examples abo ve are of the pr eview mode , but the same pr ocedur es can

be used in still mode . In preview mode , the toolbar and st atus bar can also be display ed by

clicking the ( ) butt on that appears at the t op of the wide fr ame.

Capturing Images The images captured by the DZ-3600Us camera can be loaded onto a computer as still images.

This guide describes individual functions and commands from this point onward. The preview mode and still mode notations in the boxes at the top right of the title page for each topic indicate the mode(s) to which the topic applies.

When this command is executed in preview mode, Presentation Software automatically switches to still mode to display the captured image. Presentation Software remains in still mode when the capture command is executed in still mode, showing the newly captured image in the display.

Note You can select the r esolution setting f or the image captur e. For det ails , see

At the High Resolution setting, images are 1,900 pixels wide by 1,424 pixels high. At the Low Resolution setting, images are 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high.

Note The resolution is set to High Resolution at startup. Although a high-quality image is produced at the High Resolution setting so

that fine lines can be distinguished on documents , the tr adeo ff is the longer time r equir ed to captur e and display the image . It pays t o set the r esolution to the optimal v alue f or the specific object type and the purpose f or which it is being captured.

When images are captured at the High Resolution setting, the camera head will emit so ft noises as the lens shifts within it.

Saving Images Captured images can be saved as a file to a computer disk.

Images can be saved to disk in any of the following three ways. Please note that files can only be saved and opened with the computer and not with the remote control or DZ-3600U control panel.

Saving Images as Presentation Software Files This method allows you to save all of the currently captured images to disk at once. Files saved with this method can be opened again by the Presentation Software program. Use this method if you wish to reuse files for future presentations (for presenting the same images at a different location, for example). The limitation of this method is that the files cannot be opened by other application programs, such as graphics programs.

Note The files saved with this method are assigned the .PIH file extension. The default save location (the folder automatically displayed in the save

window) is the [Presentation Histories] folder within the [My Documents] folder.

Saving Just the Displayed Image This method allows you to save only the current image in the display to disk. You can select between the JPEG (.JPG) and bitmap (.BMP) file formats. This method can only be selected in still mode.

Note There are many image file formats currently in use. Presentation Software

can save in two of the most popular, the JPEG and bitmap formats. The JPEG format compresses the image data, allowing the image to be saved in an extremely small file. You are recommended to use this format for most purposes.

The default save location (the folder automatically displayed in the save window) is the [Presentation Images] folder within the [My Documents] folder.

Saving All Images and the HTML Index This method creates a new folder, saves all the current captured images in it and adds an HTML index for browsing the images. The files are saved in the JPEG (.JPG) format.

Note The default save location (the folder automatically displayed in the save

window) is the [Presentation Histories] folder within the [My Documents] folder.

Adjusting the Color Balance of Preview Images The color balance is normally adjusted automatically to the document or object with the auto white balance function. The following procedures may be used to adjust the color balance manually if the color equilibrium is disturbed by a marked change in the ambient lighting.

A large change in the ambient lighting around the DZ-3600U may throw off the color balance and produce a red or blue bias. In this case, you should reset the white balance with the following procedures. They can also be used to intentionally produce a red or blue tint.

1. Place the White Balance Adjustment Chart contained in the Quick Reference Guide onto the object stage as shown in the diagram.

2. Zoom the chart until it completely fills the window.

3. Press the [Auto] button in the white balance section of the control panel. The auto indicator will flash until the white balance is reset, then it will turn off.

Replace the White Balance Adjustment Chart with your presentation materials and proceed with your presentation with the equipment in this state. If you wish to intentionally create a red or blue tint, press the [Manual] button after the steps above and use the manual dial to adjust the color.

To reactivate the auto white balance function, press the [Auto] button again.

Note The color balance can also be adjusted in still mode. However, the change in

color cannot be verified unless a video monitor is directly connected to the DZ-3600U.

Adjusting the Orientation of Preview Images The image in the display can be rotated 90 degrees without physically shifting the object on the object stage.

!!! Important !!! The purpose of this command is to change the orientation of the image

on a computer display. This function has no direct effect upon the image signal from the DZ-3600U.

To place a document that will be reoriented with this function, place the top edge on the right of the object stage.

Note We will illustrate placement using an A4-sized document, which is longer

than it is wide. Assuming that you would normally place this page on the object stage vertically (correct orientation), a portion of the page will protrude beyond the cameras field on the vertical axis. If, instead, you place it on its side (horizontal or landscape orientation) and use the rotate function to shift the image 90 degrees, the entire page will fit into the cameras field.

The image is captured with the orientation set by this command.

Procedure with the Remote Control

Rotating the Display 90 Degrees Press the [Rotate] button. The image will rotate 90 degrees

counterclockwise in the display, appearing to be vertically aligned.

Pressing the [Rotate] button again restores the image to its original orientation.

Troubleshooting Tips Please confirm the following points before contacting the dealer if you en- counter any difficulties operating the equipment or software programs.

Presentation Software Will Not Start

Is the DZ-3600Us power turned on? (P.28) Is the USB cable connected correctly? (P.17) Is the software correctly installed? (P.19)

The Computer Monitor Is Blank

Is the computer connected correctly to its monitor and the projector? (P.17)

Have the input sources for the computer monitor and projector been correctly selected?

Images Are Not Displaying on the Video Monitor

Is the DZ-3600U, video monitor and/or projector power turned on? (P.28)

Are all the devices connected correctly? (P.17) Has an external input device (EXT In 1 or EXT In 2) been selected as

the current image source? (P.98) Have the input sources for the video monitor and projector been

correctly selected?

Images Are Not Displaying Smoothly

Because of the limitations imposed by the transfer rate of the USB cable, the movement of real-time images will be somewhat irregular on the computer display. To view real-time images without the time lag, connect a video monitor or projector directly to one of the output ports on the DZ-3600U. The video output, nevertheless, will still not be entirely smooth in the negative, flip, mirror, monochrome, or grayscale modes, or at the High Clarity display resolution setting in the preview mode. Moreever, the images may momentarily distort when switching between modes. This is not a malfunction.

The Toolbar and Status Bar Have Vanished

Move the mouse cursor to the top of the window. They will temporarily reappear. (P.45)

Troubleshooting

The Processing Speed of Other Application Programs Has Slowed

You have temporarily minimized Presentation Software in preview mode and attempted to use another application program, which has been slowed down. This is due to the fact that Presentation Software is still using memory resources to run its internal programming. To free up memory resources, switch Presentation Software into still mode before using the other application.

Images Are Too Bright or Dark

Is the brightness correctly set on the monitor or projector? Is the object too dark? Turn on the front lights if necessary. (P.77) If the image is still too bright or dark, adjust the brightness with the

brightness function. (P.65)

The Focus Is Off

Has the autofocus been shut off? (P.67) Has the closeup lens been switched off? Zooming in while the closeup

lens is switched off will cause blurring. (P.81) Is the object too dark? Turn on the front lights if necessary. (P.77) The autofocus may have difficulty focusing on objects that are too

glossy, virtually translucent or reflect very little light (such as dark cloth). Use the manual focus on these objects. (P.67)

It may be difficult to adjust the focus when the lens is zoomed in on three-dimensional objects or thick documents. (P.67)

The Coloration Is Off

Have the color settings on the monitor or projector been set correctly? Has the auto white balance function been turned off? (P.70) If the coloration cannot be adjusted satisfactorily with the auto white

balance function, reset the white balance. (P.70) If the above solution does not work, set the white balance manually.

(P.70) When you view a negative film, check the white balance [Auto] indica-

tion is not lit. (P.79)

Colors Will Not Display

Has the grayscale or monochrome mode been switched on? (P.76)

The Display Is Flickering

Switch the electronic shutter DIP switch on the rear panel to the following setting (P.111): For regions with electricity supplied at 60 Hertz: Set the DIP switch to 60

Glossary Color

On a computer, color information is expressed by combining various ratios of the three primary colors: red, green and blue (RGB). The DZ- 3600U is capable of expressing each of the primary colors in 256 hues (8 bits), which together create a total of approximately 16.7 million colors (256 x 256 x 256) (24 bits) in which images can be expressed.

Grayscale A grayscale image is one that is expressed in black, white and 254 shades of gray (a total of 256 tones). A grayscale image looks much like a monochrome photograph.

HTML Hyper Text Markup Language: a high-level programming language used to create web pages for the Internet. Use Internet browser software to view files created in this format.

Image File A file that contains image data in a format that can be processed by a computer. At the most fundamental level, an image file is comprised of bitmap information, which is a series of dots (picture elements) assigned color values that are arranged in a grid. There are numerous image file formats, including the bitmap (BMP) and JPEG (JPG) formats, that may or may not use compression and differ in the way the dots are arranged.

NEGA The DZ-3600U mode that enables negative films to be scanned much like a paper document. This mode produces coloration superior to the method whereby a negative film is scanned as a negative and later inverted with graphics software because it takes the color of the film base into account in calibrating colors. If you look carefully at negative film, you will note that the film itself has an orange tint. The invert function of graphics programs generally are not capable of compensating for the film base color, resulting in a poor color balance.

NTSC A transmission standard for television signals used in Japan and North America. Different standards are used in Western Europe (PAL) and Eastern Europe (SECAM). Since the output from the DZ-3600U conforms to the NTSC standard, it cannot be viewed on PAL or SECAM televisions and video monitors.

Scanner The word scanner is commonly used to refer to devices that load the information from paper-based photographs, text and illustrations onto computers. The DZ-3600U not only scans paper-based items, it is also capable of scanning three-dimensional objects as they appear. The process of using a scanner to load information into a computer is called scanning.

119

A ppendix

TWAIN An application programming interface (API) standard for image input devices, such as the DZ-3600U, image scanners and digital cameras. Any device will work with any application program, regardless of the manufacturer or model, as long as both comply with the standard.

USB Universal serial bus: a new interface standard that supports up to 127 peripheral devices, such as keyboards, displays, mice and modems in a daisy chain connection.

VAROS VAriable Refraction Optical System: an imaging technology that achieves a ninefold increase in resolution by optically sampling an object from nine minutely different angles and integrating the data into a single image. Using VAROS, the DZ-3600U is able to achieve a resolution equivalent to a 3.6-million element charge-coupled device (CCD).

White Balance The human eye is an extremely adaptable device. For example, if exposed to a sheet of white paper outdoors at noon, it will recognize it as white paper. If exposed to the same sheet indoors in a room with the lights off and little ambient light, it will still recognize it as white paper. Moreover, it can even recognize it under the light of a red sky at twilight. An electronic eye (such as the CCD element used in the DZ- 3600U), on the other hand, will probably register the paper as white in the outdoor setting, gray in the darkened room and red under the night sky. The white balance function is what compensates for this phenomenon. The DZ-3600U is equipped with an auto white balance function so that there is no need to make adjustments in most cases. Nonetheless, it is also equipped with a manual white balance function for when it is required (p. 70).
