Enabling the camera

For security reasons, the installed camera will be disabled by default. In order to fully utilize the installed camera and distance meter, the following features will need to be enabled:

These can only be enabled in the Security Menu in the Pulse OSD/LCD, while being logged in as power user or higher.

Only when the Camera and source preview are enabled, the Distance meter menu will be accessible in the OSD/LCD.

For more info on enabling the Security features on the Pulse OSD/LCD, see the Pulse OSD user guide.

About distance meter usage

When the distance meter is correctly connected with the projector using the USB wiring, new menu options will appear, both in the projector OSD menu, as well as in Pulse Prospector.

It is preferred to use either the Pulse OSD menu, or the Pulse Prospector to use the distance meter. For more info, see the Pulse OSD user guide, or the Pulse Prospector user guide respectively.

Next to this, it is also possible to use the distance meter assembly itself.

How to use the distance meter assembly
  1. Place the projector, with distance meter installed, in its final projection position and point it towards the desired projected surface.
  2. Press the push button to activate the distance meter and read the distance from the display. The laser will be active for 30 seconds.
  3. In order to switch the unit of measurement, press the push button for 3 seconds. You can choose between meters and feet.
