ATTENTION: Check which Visualizer model you have! This is a combined user manual for all 3 professional WolfVision Visualizer modells: VZ-15b, VZ-35b and VZ-45b. It is noted in each headline if the following chaper applies to all 3 Visualizer models or just to one or two of these models.
(On the VZ-35b this output can be switched to YUV - see below) VZ-15b: On the VZ-15b the RGBS-signal is actually only a converted Y/C-signal. (As the VZ-15b has a 1-chip camera and no 1-chip camera has a true RGBS output). This output is intended for units which do not have Y/C-input.
SWITCHABLE OUTPUTS (all Visualizers) All outputs of the WolfVision Visualizers - except the Preview output (#31 or #43) - are switchable. Use the IMAGE keys (#21,#22) on the control panel or the remote control to switch the signal supplied from these outputs on and off.
(all Visualizers) A light projector (b) inside the WolfVision Visualizer projects the light via a mirror inside the unit and a mirror on the reflector head onto the working surface. The video camera (a) inside the unit scans the picture where the light falls.
For showing 3-dimensional objects with the WolfVision Visualizer, just place them on the working surface and adjust ZOOM and FOCUS (as mentioned). Due to a special WolfVision lens the object can be up to 9.7" (25 cm) in height. If the object is to big for the working surface or if you want to show it from the side just place it behind or in front of the unit and tilt the reflector head.
For transparencies lightboxes are not required as the reproduction quality is better without a lightbox (see chapter above) however for very dark objects like x-rays and slides an optional lightbox is reccommended. WolfVision above) however for very dark objects like x-rays and slides an optional lightbox is reccommended. WolfVision offers lightboxes in 3 different sizes.
PRESET FUNCTION (all Visualizers) WolfVision Visualizers offer the possibility of programming two presets for the functions Zoom, Focus, Iris, Light and Image. They can be recalled with the PRESET 1 (#25) and PRESET 2 (#26) keys of the control panel or the remote control.
SWITCHING TO PLAYBACK OF A VIDEO RECORDER (VZ-15b and VZ-35b only) WolfVision Visualizers do not have an input switch because the following method of connecting a video recorder is much easier and requires no switching at all: Connect the video output (#32) or the Y/C (S-VHS) output (#37) of the Visualizer to the according input of the video recorder.
12 V DC power supply for the LCD-monitor. The parallel port of the VZ-35b and VZ-15b also outputs a composite video signal for an LCD-monitor. This signal is the same a the signal on the Preview output, which means that it is output even in the Image off mode.
If a user works with two WolfVision Visualizers and wants to control them both individually with their infrared remote controls, he has the possibility of changing the frequency on one of the units. For switching one Visualizer and its remote control to the second frequency just use the red switch beside the batteries of the remote control and simultaneously press the POWER ON (#28) and IMAGE ON (#22) keys.
EXCHANGING A FUSE (all Visualizers) Before changing a fuse disconnect the power cable. The fuse (#35) is situated behind a small lid between the power socket and the main power switch. It can easily be opened with a small screwdriver etc. The left fuse has to be exchanged.
Readjusting the white balance is only necessary if the light conditions changes.. VZ-15b: The manual white balance adjustment is a new feature of the VZ-15b. Units up to serial number 154423 did not have this function. TEXT ENHANCEMENT...
VZ-35b or VZ-45b to reset the camera menu every time the main power is switched off.To activate this function please contact your WolfVision dealer. The standard setting is, that the camera menu is not reset when the main power is switched off.

For perfect color reproduction a white balance adjustment is recommended. Zoom in on a completely white part of the screen and then press the WHITE-key. When "WHITE OK" appears on the screen the white balance is ready. After you have finished the scanning of the monitor, do not forget to make another white balance adjustment with the Visualizer's own light (on the working surface) for continuing the normal use of the Visualizer.
(=Genlock input) of each unit connected. In order to genlock the WolfVision Visualizer with another video signal, simply connect this signal to the Sync input (#33) of the Visualizer where a composite video or a black burst signal can be connected For fine adjustment of color-phase (SC) and H-phase, use the key combination: SAVE + ZOOM-close + ZOOM-wide in order to unlock the camera controls and then press the MENU-key.

SETTINGS WHICH CAN BE CHANGED IN THE CAMERA MENU of VZ-45b: 1. Exposure Setup menu (VZ-45b only): GAIN By changing the gain (from 0 to 18dB in 1dB steps) you can additionally amplify the video-output of the camera. This brings great advantages under low light conditions, but also increases noise in the picture.
