SOFTWARE FEATURES
Video Clips
The InfoComm Projection Shoot-Out
® high definition material on the two supplied HD discs is playable in most DVD players
of a compatible format. Since there are a very limited number of disc players that directly play the Windows Media Video
HD format, that disc is primarily intended for play on a computer equipped with a high performance DVD ROM or DVD/RW
drive. Their respective menu systems will guide you through their use as you navigate them with the player’s remote con-
trol. The third disc contains the same video clips in NTSC format on side A and PAL format on side B. In addition, this disc
contains the image show application described in the next section.
Note that the NTSC and PAL material will be presented in letterbox format on a standard 4:3 screen display when
the internal menu of the DVD player has the 4:3 display output format selected. If your DVD player has the 16:9
output format selected, the NTSC and PAL material will appear full height but squeezed into a narrow image.
This is called anamorphic format and is normal recording format for a DVD intended to play back material in 16:9
widescreen presentation mode. With the 16:9 presentation output mode selected within the DVD player, the video
material will fill the screen on a standard 16:9 widescreen display. Consult your DVD player for correct format
selection prior to playing this material.
The DVDs are Region 0 encoded which means that they will play on DVD players worldwide.
Computer Images Portion
An all new control application manages the computer-based slide show and maintains all features of previous Shoot-Out
Software releases. In fact, this version is backward compatible in that it can run all older versions of the Shoot-Out Software
while maintaining the operating features of the software of that time.
Computer Graphics Slideshow:
The computer graphics image show must be installed on a computer in order to run properly. In most computer systems,
the software will automatically begin the installation routine.
Each image is formatted into ten screen resolution groups: 800x600, 024x768, 280x720, 280x024, 366x768, 400x050,
600x200, 920x080, 920x200 and 2048x080. This group of screen resolutions represents the most popular among
professional displays and projection systems today. The software allows you to select the resolution appropriate for your
particular display. Should you select a resolution that does not match the native resolution of the target display, the image
may not fill the screen properly or the display may scale the image to its full screen size. In most cases, scaled images will
produce various screen artifacts not seen when the image resolution matches the display’s native resolution.
Slideshow Features:
Included is a custom, interactive user control system designed to let you stage your own private, personalized high
quality shoot-out. Features include:
• Similar look and feel to the 200 Projection Shoot-Out Software.
• Compatibility: This computer slideshow engine supports Volume 2.0 and all earlier versions of the Shoot-Out
software.
• You may customize your slide show files by creating a simple graphic list of images in any order. Create the
show file by selecting images from thumbnail representations that may be dragged and dropped into any order.
Name the new slide show and save it for use later.
• A customizable “business card” lets you create an image with your contact information, including the ability to
insert your company logo. Drop your “business card” into your custom slide show any number of times.
• Multi-system operation is supported so that up to three computers running the same or different image
resolutions may be networked via a simple Ethernet LAN to facilitate the automated image control operation
