15 Bogart SE 2 user manual
To select a color, you can access the color box directly using
the little color box in the bottom left corner of the right-hand
image pool area (on the left next to "Ok") . If, for example, you
click on the "Color/Pattern" button when selecting a border for
the titles, you will first of all see the image pool in which you
can either select (using the button described here) a mask or a
color as desired .
The pattern chosen, with its chosen settings (e .g . direction,
color), can be saved and used again at a later stage . For this
purpose, use the “Archives” button . Included, you’ll find a
number of pre-set examples (“Granite dark”, “Wood”,…) .
3.3 Working with Graphics Tablets
You also have the option of connecting an Intuos graphics
tablet or, if your system has a VGA port, a VGA tablet .
Further information on available and supported tablets can be
obtained from your dealer .
You can find out how to connect and calibrate both tablets
below . For further steps on operating your tablet, please refer
to the instructions that came with it .
3.3.1 Intuos tablet
Connecting
Plug in the cable of the graphics tablet into an available USB
port on the back of your machine, which should remain swit-
ched off when you plug in the cable . For calibration follow the
instructions in chapter 3 .3 .3 .
3.3.2 VGA tablet
Connecting
Unpack the VGA tablet and connect it to your system . To do
so, plug one end of the VGA cable into the “VGA IN” input on
the tablet and the other end into the VGA port of your system .
Then connect up the USB cable by plugging one end of the
cable that is supplied with the tablet into the USB port on the
tablet and the other end into a free USB port on your system .
You must now provide the tablet with electrical power by con-
necting the power supply cable to the adapter and plugging
the cable into an electrical socket . Now plug the adapter cable
into the 12 V connection of the tablet .
Note: You can connect an additional VGA cable to the “VGA
OUT” port on the VGA tablet. The other end of this cable can
be connected to another computer monitor so that you can
“feed through” the video picture.
Switching on
After you have made the cable connections, switch on your
system by operating the front switch and switch on the VGA
tablet by pressing the button at the top right .
Once your system has started you will still see the menu dis-
played on the TV monitor since you first have to switch over to
the VGA setting . To do so, open the “System Settings” menu
and set the “Screen” button to the required “VGA” option,
max . 1024*768 60Hz . A notification appears informing you that
a computer monitor is required for this . You are then asked
whether you want to continue – you should answer by clicking
on “Yes” . The system is then restarted .
Afterwards you will see the main Bogart SE menu on the VGA
tablet . Now, within the next 15 seconds, confirm the notifica-
tion that informs you that the screen display has been swit-
ched over . To do so, click on “Yes” in the usual way using the
trackball .
3.3.3 Calibration
In order to now operate the graphics tablet with the accom-
panying stylus, open the "System Settings" menu and click
(using the trackball) on the “Calibrate Graphics Tablet" button
in the “Settings” section .
A menu appears, displaying the name of the connected tablet .
You can now set the “Pressure Sensitivity” of the tablet’s pen .
A higher value means that you have to press harder to reach
an effect . Push the slider to the entire right (“Off”) to deacti-
vate the pen point totally – instead you will have to press the
lower positioned button on the side of the pen itself (see your
graphics tablet manual for more details) .
We recommend a pressure sensitivity of 35-40 .
You can place a check mark in the little box next to the "Mou-
sepointer" option to activate it so that you always see a red
arrow on-screen wherever the tip of the stylus is positioned .
If you deactivate the function (dash), the arrow is no longer
displayed .
Press “Calibrate” and you will see a requester, prompting
you to “Please click into the center of the cross in the top left
corner” . Having done this, you will have to repeat it for center
of the cross in the lower right corner of the tablet . The coordi-
nates of the tablet now correspond to the screen .
3.3.4 Working with the pen
To work with the pen, you have to move it across the tablet wi-
thout actually touching the surface – as if the pen is “floating”
slightly . To “click”; either press the pen point onto the tablet
surface or press the lower button on the pen’s side . Doing this
represents the standard “left click” .
To simulate a click of the right Trackball button (such as for
cancelling), make sure that the pen is floating slightly above
the tablet and press the top button on the pen’s side .
