Parallel projection is also possible with a twin socket. Such a

device is offered by the Dutch company AVSZ ( address on

page 31). The projectors can be controlled via the cable remote, the

IR remote or via an external timer (see page 12). AVSZ also offers

another twin socket version that can be switched from the parallel

function into an independant one. In this case you can transport the

second projector via the focus buttons on the remotes.

n Integrated Timer

The built-in timer enables the projector to

automatically transport your slides. Time

settings between 3 and 22 seconds can be

made.

Note :

In order to avoid "dark pauses" it is recommended that the slide tray is filled as

completely as possible (81 or 141 slides):

1. Due to the tray design, it is

not possible to insert a slide

directly into the zero

compartment

2. Insert the slide directly

into the slide gate

3. Place the tray

4. With the next slide transport

the slide will be lifted from the

slide gate into the zero

compartment of the tray

Autofocus

EKTALITE

1500, 2000

n Important

Use either glass or glassless (cardboard) mounted slides! Never

mix them!

n AF and slide mount material

Some slide mounts consist of plastic material that allows the IR

radiation to pass through. As not reflected it will not be detected

by the IR sensor. The AF will not work properly. In this case you

need to replace these mounts.

Inserting Slides

n General

BEFORE:

n Check each slides orientation (horizontal or vertical), and arrange them in the order

you wish to show them. Then turn the slide upside down.

n Number each mount in the upper right-hand corner of the films shiny side.

n Insert your first slide into the first slot in the tray so that the number is visible on the

outer circumference of the tray. Insert your second slide in the second slot with the

emulsion (dull side) facing your first slide, and so on.

35 mm slides

Nowadays it is very easy to create 35 mm slides from images

generated by the computer. Modern film recorders are easily set up

as they support WINDOWS. Therefore, they are as easily used as

printers.

You can use any software (e.g. PowerPoint, Word, Photoshop) to

create templates (with regards to the 2:3 image ratio).

In almost every city you will find service companies which will

offer the recording of your electronic files. Mostly they are listed

in the yellow pages of the phonebook. Some offer their service via

the Internet
