All classrooms have an Epson BrightLink projector attached to one of the whiteboards in the room.

Adjusting the Volume

You can use the remote control to adjust the volume of the projector itself, separate from the volume of the device connected to it.

Temporarily Stopping/Freezing the Presentation

You can temporarily turn off the projected picture and sound if you want to redirect your audience's attention during a presentation by pressing the A/V Mute button on the remote control. Press it again to resume the presentation.

If you want to get a freeze frame of the current screen, press the Freeze button on the remote control. The image displayed on the projector will not change until you press the button again, regardless of what the connected device is sending to the projector.

Zooming In and Out

You can press the E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in and out of parts of the image. Use the arrow buttons to pan around the zoomed image.

Easy Interactive Tools 3.0

This new annotation software from Epson allows users to control projector settings over the network, record and save video from Epson document cameras, save, re-open and edit annotation files, access archived curriculum and program the interactive pen button to provide instant access to the most-used tools. 

For information on how to install Easy Interactive Tools, stop by the Tech Office or email support@trinityes.org.

Interactive Modes

The BrightLink interactive features turn any wall into an interactive whiteboard, either with or without a computer. These interactive modes are available:

• In built-in whiteboard mode, you can use one or both interactive pens or your finger (BrightLink 595Wi) to write on the projected "whiteboard". You can split the screen and interact with the whiteboard and another source. You can insert images from a USB drive and save or print your whiteboard without connecting a computer.
• In built-in annotation mode (PC Free Annotation), you can annotate over content projected from a computer, tablet, document camera, or other source. You can capture your annotated pages, and save or print them. You can even split the screen and annotate on two images at the same time, using one or both pens.
• In PC Interactive mode, you can use the interactive pen or your finger (BrightLink 595Wi) as a mouse to navigate, select, and scroll through content from your computer. You can split the screen and interact with two projected images at the same time.

For information on how these modes work, see the attached in-depth PDF.

Using the Pens

Your projector came with a blue pen and an orange pen, identified by the color on the end of the pen. You can use either pen, or both pens at the same time (one of each color), with Easy Interactive Tools.

For best performance, hold the pen perpendicular to the board, as shown below. Do not cover the black section near the tip of the pen.

To write or draw on the projection surface in annotation mode or whiteboard mode, tap on the projection surface (whiteboard) with the pen tip, and tap or draw as if it was a real marker. To move the pointer. hover over the surface without touching it. To switch the pen from drawing tool to eraser, press and hold the power/function button on the side.

You can also use the pen as a mouse in PC interactive mode, or use your finger as a pen or mouse. For more information, see the attached in-depth PDF.

Using the Remote Control

If your computer is connected to the projector directly (not through AirPlay on an Apple TV), you can use the remote control as a wireless mouse. Use the arrow keys on the remote control to move the mouse, the middle button to left-click, and the Esc button to right-click. You can move through slides by pressing the Page buttons.

You can use the remote control as a pointer by pressing the Pointer button. An arrow will be displayed on the screen, and you can use the arrow buttons to move the arrow. Press the Esc button to remove the arrow.
