TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Solution
This is mainly because the digital presenter is not connected to the PC properly using
the USB cable.
If the digital presenter fails to
operate
y Ensure that the presenter is connected properly using the USB cable.
y Terminate all other graphic applications (occupying the USB or system resources in
large portion) that may affect the digital presenter program.
y Turn off the digital presenter and restart it after 10 seconds. Then, run the program
again.
This is because the digital presenter is not connected to the PC properly using the
USB cable.
y Check if the digital presenter turns off or if the USB cable is disconnected.
“Error in USB connection. Connect y Ensure that the length of the USB cable that is connected between presenter and
PC is less than 4m.
the USB cable and try again. ( The
USB 1.1 protocol is not supported. y If too many application programs are running on your PC, the video transfer may
Use USB 2.0 protocols.)” Error
fail due to insufficient memory or resource.
Message
y Check if the USB MODE of MISC. SETTING is set to IMAGE. If it’s set to DISK, the
video transfer will be deactivated. Set it to IMAGE and try again.
y The USB 1.1 protocol is not supported by the digital presenter. Using the USB 1.1
port will fail to transfer the video. Use USB 2.0 port.
This is the case that you simply run the program again that is currently running.
“The program is already running.”
Error Message
y If you re-run the currently running program, it does not open another instance of
the program. You will just see an error message.
y If the program is terminated abnormally, disconnect the USB cable and connect it
back, or reboot the Windows OS.
If the device is not recognized
y If the digital presenter is not recognized by the system, reboot your system and try
again.
“You have no access to the
folder.” Error Message
y In Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may have limited access to the file depending
on the user permission. Try again with the administrator account, or save the file in
the folder (normally, C:\~) that you have access to.
24_ appendix
Problem
Solution
“The SP version of the current OS
is low.” Error Message
y In Windows XP or Vista, the USB device may not be recognized or fail to operate by
system default. If this is the case, install the latest service pack on your PC and try
again.
“Fail to save the image.” Error
Messa
y You have specified the Quick Save or image saving path to an unavailable folder
such as CD-ROM drive, or try to save a write-protection removable disk. Change it
to an internal HDD path and try again.
y The library required to save the image is deleted or damaged. Uninstall the digital
presenter and install it again.
The video playback is too slow.
y The USB device uses CPU resources for data transfer. If your PC has a low
specification or you are running background applications that occupy much of
the system resources, the USB viewer may be deteriorated in performance. It is
recommended to run the USB Viewer of the digital presenter alone if possible.
y If you are using an integrated graphic adapter of DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory
Technology) type, the low-specification graphic adapter has a limit to process the
image, causing deteriorated performance or unintended overlap of images.
The video is not played properly.
y If the video clip is not played properly, upgrade the player’s CODEC with the latest
version and try again.
y The video clip recorded by the presenter is compressed using MJPG CODEC. It is
recommended to upgrade the player with the latest CODEC supporting MJPEG.
