Connecting your Genee Vision visualiser to a projector
You can simply use your visualiser as a presentation tool with a single connection to a projector.
You will need:
The power pack
The VGA cable
PROJECTOR
This is the simplest of all the set-ups. There will be situations where mobile projectors are being used and all that is required is the visualiser image to be displayed.
The built-in functionality of the visualiser means that the projected image can be frozen, split, mirrored etc.

‘PROJECTOR’ ‘12V IN’
Visualiser ‘PROJECTOR’ socket
VGA cable
Alternatively, with a fixed projector there will most likely be a connecting wall plate that the
VGA lead will plug into.
P.S. Don’t forget to take the lens cap off!
The remote control is slotted into the side of the visualiser.

Linking your Genee Vision visualiser to a PC or laptop
By linking your visualiser back to your PC or laptop, you can simply switch the projector inputs between the camera and computer.
You will need:
The power pack
The VGA cable
A second VGA
This new lead goes from the
‘COMPUTER IN’ socket on the visualiser back to the VGA socket on your computer.
PROJECTOR
By pressing the CCD/PC1/PC” button on the visualiser (which will change from blue to green), we can now switch the projector inputs between the camera and the PC/laptop desktop (you may have to clone the computer’s screen to see this). With certain
Genee Vision models, a 3rd digital input can be switched in.

LAPTOP/PC
Your classroom PC and interactive whiteboard might have a splitter box somewhere at the back with 3 VGA leads going into it.
The simplest way of dealing with this is to follow the
VGA lead from the wall plate and remove it from the splitter, then plug it into the visualiser ‘PROJECTOR’ socket.
Now use the additional VGA lead to link the vacant splitter socket back to the PC to achieve the same effect as above.
P.S. The visualiser acts as a splitter box in itself and could actually replace the existing box.
Using the USB lead to capture still and moving images
You can use your visualiser to capture still and moving images onto your computer.
You will need:
Capture software
USB cable
USB
VISUALISER
LAPTOP/PC
You will need to load the resources disk which contains
Genee Toolbar program and USB camera driver onto your system first.
Following the software installation, plug the USB lead in (the visualiser socket is under the side flap).
When the computer has found the
‘new USB’, open Genee Toolbar for a live view image.
As soon as you have a live image on your desktop, you can start using your interactive whiteboard tools to annotate over the top of it.
With Genee Toolbar you can also use the software to capture still (jpeg) or moving images (avi).
Other programs that the visualiser will easily link with are Word, Powerpoint and Smart
Notebook. To insert an image, go to ‘INSERT’, ‘IMAGE FROM CAMERA OR SCANNER’, checking the dialog box to see that the USB 2861 driver is listed.
For movie capture and editing, Microsoft Moviemaker is ideal. There are also several animation programs available that directly link to the visualiser.
(P.S. Image capture only needs the USB lead to be attached.)
