Slide to Video Converter ELMO TRV-35
 

Rather than project slides onto a screen which is then captured with a video camera for projection to participants at the "far-end" of a videoconference (a process that often leads to distortion), the slide-to-video converter enables the slide image to be seen directly on participants' monitor. In addition to remote control ability to advance and reverse slide movement, the ELMO slide-to-video converters we use have added functionality.

  • Uses Standard Slide Trays - 80 slide preferred
  • Color Correction - A joy-stick controller allows fine adjustment of color and contrast
  • Zoom - you can zoom out or in to a section of your image.
  • Focus - the auto focus button clears an image automatically. A manual override is available.
  • Iris - also automatic and manually adjustable
  • Output - NTSC video
 

Setting Up The Slide to Video Converter
 
  1. Connect unit to a power outlet.
  2. Connect cable from BNC video out terminal of the on the slide-to-video converter to the RCA input on the document camera. This input will be numbered one or two; remember number.
    NOTE: the slide-to-video converter is typically connected to the document camera in a videoconference setting; it can be directly connected to the monitor input. If so, skip to step 5.
  3. Select the same input source (1 or 2) as cable input.
  4. Connect the document camera out to the video input of a videoconference unit, TV monitor, or video projector. If using with a videoconverence unit, make certain the unit is connected to a video monitor or projector.
  5. Turn on all equipment: slide-to-video projector, document camera and the TV monitor or projector.
  6. Assuming use of a videoconference system, use the videoconference system's remote to select the document camera input. This should show the image from the slide-to-video converter on the monitor.
