ILS Sho-Q - Manual (Page 2)

Here is a quick way to understand what is involved when you report in a meeting with your boss…., or
how you participate in an effective seminar:
Sho­Q Quick start
:
Please note, if you were asked to send your presentation ahead of time, setting up was likely already
done for you through sho‐Q Planner. You can skip to step 6.
1. Install Sho‐Q Preprocessor on your notebook. Insert a USB stick into the notebook and transfer
a PowerPoint presentation to your USB stick. Right‐click the file, choose “Export to Sho‐Q
module” to add its file with sho‐Q formats to accompany it. If you plan on inserting the USB
stick into a lectern running Sho‐Q Presenter, we recommend that you save one presentation
per USB stick for quick recognition. Take the USB stick out of your notebook and bring just that
along to your meeting. You can leave your notebook at home.
2. Sho‐Q Presenter should be active on the Intelligent Lectern.
(See configuration requirements)
3. Insert your USB‐stick with the pre‐processed PowerPoint presentation into the lectern
4. Watch how it takes a place on the Sho‐Q Presentation Selector (in the next available space)
5. Your fellow presenters bringing a presentation on a USB stick (or use other methods as
described further in this manual) will work the same way.
6. During your meeting, conference, or seminar you can select and touch your presentation on
the Sho‐Q Presentation Selector. Sho‐Q will immediately launch into Presentation mode. If
your presentation was not yet set up, insert your USB stick containing the presentation and it
will instantly add your presentation to the selector screen. Touch to start your presentation.
7. Check if your first slide is projected / displayed on the large screen behind you.
8. You will notice the previous/current/next slide representation in Sho‐Q in your lectern.
Use notes to help you make sure you make your point.
The notes window is only visible when you added notes to your slides.
This way you do not need to put them on the slide to read them out.
9. Hit the next slide frame and see the slides change in front of you, while it also happens
instantly behind you on the wall. This way you can time your transitions perfectly.
10. Watch the timer, it started counting the moment you went to your second slide, watch it
regularly to keep within your allotted time.
11. Use Show All Slides when you want to go back or forward to select a particular slide.
The active slide has a highlighted frame so you can easily see where you currently are.
Select the slide to go to. Sho‐Q immediately displays the new slide.
(While you were searching for the slide, nothing changed behind you for the audience to see,
they still saw your last slide)
12. Sho‐Q contextual control. You may have inserted slides that build up line by line, or added
messages and graphics in a sequential way, timed or on mouse‐click. Watch the current slide
on the desktop and see how Sho‐Q supports you to control the animations on your slide within
the window of the current slide with forward/backward step or play/pause buttons. Press the
relevant action when you want it to occur.
The step counter or time‐line feature will give you an indication of how much there is to do, or
how long it will take to complete the slide.
