Quick Links

The three components of the SliderPro 200, along with
a digital camera and certain Kodak slide projectors,
allow the unattended copying of every color slide in a
slide tray or stack loader.
1. The SliderLamp replaces the too bright (and also
hot, fragile, and expensive) halogen projector lamp.
2. Your digital camera rests horizontally on the
SliderPlate at the level of the slide projector's lens.
3. Your camera and projector can be operated
automatically with the SliderSwitcher.
All changes made to the slide projector are temporary –
the projector can be returned to normal function in a
few minutes.
SliderLamp
With some Kodak projectors that allow the lamp
housing to be removed, the SliderLamp can slide in to
replace the housing and illuminate the slide. Set the
original lamp housing aside in a safe place – it can be
reinserted for normal use.
The SliderLamp includes a 2.5 watt LED lamp and three
diffusers to provide a bright, even, background light.
The SliderLamp comes with a 12 volt power supply so it
is independent of the projector's power.
The LED lamp snaps into place at the rear of the
SliderLamp. After handling the SliderLamp, check to
make sure the lamp is well seated.
The SliderLamp housing should be slid (angled and
wiggled) into the projector lamp cavity and positioned
to produce even illumination for the slide. The front of the SliderLamp should be at least 3/4" from the slide (to keep
the front diffuser out of focus range). Some projectors will not allow the SliderLamp to get any closer than that. Some
trial and error may be required to find the best position for the SliderLamp, but any position will produce results that
look good to the unaided eye. Aim the SliderLamp a bit to the left (from the rear of the projector) and results should be

The free FIJI (https://imagej.net/software/fiji/) can make such measurements. When you are satisfied with the results, lock in the position of the SliderLamp with some pieces of cardboard or tape (not included). It is best to have the SliderLamp powered on only when the projector fan is running.
  • Page 3 SliderSwitcher Digital copies of color slides can be made without the SliderSwitcher by manually advancing the projector and releasing the camera shutter. To automate the process so entire trays of slides can be processed unattended, you can use the remote control capabilities of the camera and projector.
