Good presentation material techniques are especially
important when using video. It is important to use large
fonts. Keep the pages brief. Present details verbally. If you
have a lot of information, break it into multiple pages.
•
Include taped material where appropriate. For in-
stance, after presenting the reasons your company has built
a new facility, you can play a tape showing the facility. Add
a blank page with plain video background at that point in
the presentation so the video can be seen. You can add titles
and effects designed to play over the video.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING REMOTE TRIGGER BUTTON
You can use a remote push-button to trigger titles. This is useful when you are standing
some distance from the titler. The following instructions describe how
to make a remote trigger button.
Tools required:
• A soldering iron and solder
• Wire cutters
• An electric drill.
Parts required:
• A 4-inch piece of 3/4-inch PVC pipe (C) and two end caps (B and E)
• 3-conductor, 22-24 gauge stranded wire cable (D)
• A "normally open momentary push-button switch" (A)
• A stereo 3.5-mm mini-pin plug (F)
Instructions:
Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the center of one PVC end cap (E) and a hole to match the push-button switch in
the other end cap (B). Feed one end of the cable through the end cap with the 1/4-inch hole (E) and strip
the ends of each wire. Tie a single knot (D) about 8 inches from the end of the wire. Slide the wire
through the PVC pipe, the nut and washer, and the other end cap (B). Solder the two wires at the
knotted end to the two poles on the switch (A). Slip the switch into the end cap and secure it using the
nut and washer.
Solder the other ends of the cable to the plug (F). Connect to the tip (G) and the base (H) of the plug.
Don't connect anything to the middle section of the plug (X). Push the end caps in place. After testing,
you can glue the end caps using PVC cement, if you wish. Solder the wires at the other end of the cord
to the poles from the tip and base of the stereo mini-pin plug. If you're unsure which poles are which, ask
at the store when you make the purchase. Your new remote trigger plugs into the "GPI (CONTROL)"
jack on the back of FireWriter.
IMPORTANT! Any time you plug or unplug the GPI trigger, make sure FireWriter is turned OFF.
Plugging or unplugging with the unit turned on can cause the loss of your work.
