nView ViewFrame Spectra C LCD Panel

ExarKun203 · 2nd April 2003, 05:29 PM

I've just purchased through eBay a Niew ViewFrame Spectra C
Lcd Panel. Does anyone have a users manual for this

I do not have any manual, but one could go as far as saying that im am the master of the nview projection panel. I have owned a few of them before. What sort of questions do you have? And what did you pay for it? Did it only come with the panel and no cables?

Hi, I pay homage to he who knows all things.....

My ViewFrame Spectra C has stopped working after being left alone and unloved for about a year in its case. It displays the NView logo and occasionally shows DOS when the computer is booting up but otherwise just ignores the VGA input. I have all the right leads, have tried two different computers and two different leads (it came with lots.) Any ideas? As a State school teacher I want to use this in class now but it is resisting me...

Many thanks

Jerry

Hi, can you guys help me out here a little?

I just got a nView ViewFrame Spectra C from a friend who also got it from a friend but didn't want it. So here I am almost clueless as to what it excetly is

Figured out that its a projector, plugged it into my PC and everything.. finally got the projector to display what's on the monitor as well. But the display is very dark, hard to see. If i hold the projector up to the lights, I can see and almost read the texts on it as well. If i have it sitting on the desk, it looks as if the thing isn't even on. Question is... isn't this thing supposed to project out like any other projectors? I've got 4 projection lamps in the case but no idea where to put them... hmmm.. Sorta lost.. any help would be appreciated.

Projection panels are a lcd with a controller board built in, usually able to accept multiple signals. They are built to be placed on top of an overhead projector (the kind of thing used in schools) and the overhead projects what is on the lcd. What you have there isn't a projector as much as it is similar to a lcd monitor, both in laptops and as desktop screens. These are specially made to be projected with an overhead projector or using custom lighting and optics to project what is displayed on the panel. Unless you use an overhead or create your own projection box, it is pretty useless.

Read up on the forum here, you'll learn a lot.

Seems an easy one.
What cable are you using from the out of your pc (please explain both ends of the cable you are using).
There are 2 IN and 1 OUT on the panel.
Which IN do you use?
What is the transformer you are using for the panel) How much Volt and how many amps)
Is it DC out? Are the poles correct?
These are just a few quesions to start with.

I am getting scared when you say that the thing came with LOTS OF LEADS (it should only have 2 imho).

We'll solve this in a fraction of time!

how would i go on about creating my own projection box? I have 4 projection lamps in the case.. hmm

Hi and many thanks for taking the time and trouble to help. It is much appreciated.

I have tried all options I think. I go from VGA out on a computer to either the analog or digital inputs on the panel itself. They seem to be labelled "Video from computer" but there are no other inputs as far as I can see. I have also tried routing it through the video adapter box again going from VGA out on the computer, through the 15 pin female socket on the video adapter, out on a 14 pin vga plug and then into the panel on either the analog or video. I have tried both.

What I am trying to do is to use it as a computer projector but cannot get it to do much apart from project the manufacturer's screen.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks

Jerry

Try setting the desktop to 640x480 and change the refresh rate to 60hz. You can try setting the color depth to 16bit but that may not matter.
