Recommended Settings
You should keep the internal computer on all the time, but set it to turn off the monitor after 1 hour
of inactivity, and to put the hard disk(s) into standby mode after 2 hours. This extended period
avoids an unexpected computer shutdown during presentations, video-conferences or lengthy
meetings with gaps in computer activity.
When the computer is the 2000i's active display source, the computer stops sending an RGB
video signal to the projector after the period of inactivity. This triggers the projector to wait for 30
minutes and then go into standby mode.
NOTE: If the input source for the projector is the video source (either composite or S-video), the
projector will not go into standby mode.
To change the settings on a Windows computer, access the Properties dialog box for your display
and adjust the energy saving features and the power management properties. For Macintosh
computers, adjust the settings in your System Preferences application. For precise instructions
on changing these settings, read the documentation that came with your operating system.
TIP
If you decide to keep your computer on all the time, you should occasionally restart
it to reload the operating system.
NOTE: You can't adjust the power settings on Windows NT 4.0 systems, so you must leave the
computer on with full power, or shut it down at the end of the day and start it up again.
Matching the Computer Resolution to the Projector Resolution
It's very important that the computer and projector resolutions match so the projected image
properly fills the screen. The projector resolution is either 800 × 600 (SVGA) or 1024 × 768 (XGA)
and you must ensure the computer's resolution matches this.
NOTE: If the computer resolution is set to anything other than this optimal resolution, you may not
see the entire image, or the image may be too small to fill the screen, even with further
adjustments.
Use the information here as a guideline when you adjust your computer. For precise instructions,
read the documentation for your operating system. Also, if the image on the interactive whiteboard
is too distorted to see, use a computer monitor to adjust this setting.
To adjust the resolution setting for your Windows computer
1. Open the Windows Control Panel and press Display.
2. In the Display Properties dialog box, press the Settings tab.
3. Move the slider to a screen resolution of 800 × 600 (for a 2000i-DVS) or 1024 × 768 (for a
2000i-DVX) and then press OK.
