For details about file formats supported for Data Projector playback, see “About the Data Projector’s USB Functions” (page 5). This ECA file cannot be played back. There may be an error in the ECA file itself.
Performing a Presentation Using the YC-400/YC-430 Document Camera This section explains how to connect the CASIO YC-400/YC-430 Multi Projection Camera (document camera) to the Data Projector in order to project the images of documents placed on the document stage of the document camera. The Data Projector’s built-in application named YC Camera is used to project document images. Important! A YC-400 document camera can be connected to the Data Projector only if it is running firmware version 1.1 or higher.
To connect the document camera to the Data Projector and project the image of a document 1. Turn on the Data Projector. Wait until the Data Projector’s POWER/STANDBY indicator is lit green. 2. Connect the document camera to the Data Projector using the USB cable that comes bundled with the document camera. YC-400/YC-430 Camera Camera stand USB cable Document stage 3. With nothing on the document stage, press the [P] (power) button on the camera stand.
4. Place the document whose image you want to project onto the document camera’s document stage. Be sure to place the document in the center of the stage, and do not let any part of the document extend off the edges of the stage. When placing a landscape orientation document onto the document stage, the top of the page should face towards the camera stand. Initially the monitor image will be projected, and so the image will appear a bit fuzzy.
YC Camera Application Operations This section explains the various types of projection operations you can perform with the YC Camera application and how to configure YC Camera application settings. Important! The procedures in this section assume that you have already connected the Document Camera to the Data Projector as explained under “Connecting the Document Camera to the Data Projector” (page 39), and that the Data Projector’s YC Camera application is running.
To adjust the document camera’s zoom setting 1. Press the [FUNC] key to display the YC Camera application function menu. 2. Use the [] key to move the highlighting to “Camera Zoom/Focus” and then press the [ENTER] key. This causes the YC Camera Zoom/Focus dialog box to appear in the projection area. The “Optical Zoom” item should be highlighted by default. 3. Use the [] and [] keys to adjust the document camera’s zoom setting. 4. After the zoom setting is the way you want, press the [ESC] key.
To adjust the camera position 1. Remove all documents and objects from the document stage. 2. Press the [FUNC] key to display the YC Camera application function menu. 3. Use the [] key to move the highlighting to “Adjust Camera Position” and then press the [ENTER] key. This displays the camera position adjustment dialog box. 4. Point the document camera downwards so the lens is pointed towards the document stage. Aim the camera as instructed by the text that appears in the projection area.
To perform white enhancement on the currently projected image Note White enhancement causes the background of the projected image to be white enhanced, which helps to make the text on a document easier to read. This operation will affect only the image that is currently being projected. The projection image produced the next time you release the shutter will be projected in accordance with the settings on the YC Camera Application Setup Menu (page 46).
Configuring YC Camera Application Setup Menu Settings You can use the YC Camera setup menu to configure various YC Camera application operation settings. To configure YC Camera application setup menu settings 1. Press the [MENU] key to display the setup menu. 2. Press the [] key to move the highlighting to “USB” and then press the [ENTER] key. 3. Press the [] key once to move the highlighting to “Setup” and then press the [ENTER] key. This will display the YC Camera application setup menu. 4.
