Vidifox PV390 visualizers !

[davewarman]

Good Morning Techies

 

I was wondering if any of you in Techie land have ever come across the following device ?

 

A Vidifox PV390 Visualizer

Vidifox PV390 - TheVisualiserShop.com

 

We have acquired one and we are having real issues getting it to work, its my understanding that it needs to connect to a LAN before connecting to a laptop, it does not connect up in the usual way just like a smart visualizer

it also has a wireless card but we cant get that to work either, does anyone have any clues

 

thanks

 

Dave

Hi,

First thing, plug a mouse into the usb socket!!!

Press the computer button, so the power light goes red, then you#ll get a menu come up! Click the settings button in the bottom right, should get you going!!!

I thought these were awful too, had two schools buy them, the visualisershop people were really good though. Sent someone out to give me a walkthrough as the instructions are awful! You can't plug in just via USB to act as a webcam, they have to be on the network, wireless is pretty straightforward though!

Oh, if when you plug them into the projector, the image comes up corrupted (lines across, or just garbled) you've got a faulty one, apparently a bad batch (we had three out of 5 replaced)

According to the Manuel it needs to connect via a LAN or wireless it does not connect through a usb cable, we currently have nothing to view as it needs an IP address, however it will need to go through our Proxy and this al gets very complicated !!

Hi,

Proxy should be fine, doesn't need to talk to the internet. Plug into a screen or projector, plug in a mouse.

Click menu button, bottom right, may be off screen if the resolution is wrong, then click the wireless symbol, follow the instructions. MAke sure you give it a sensible name.

Then open the software on the pc/laptop, click the visualiser button and it should appear in the list after a few seconds. Click on it and image should come up!

Either that or use bypass mode. Cable it between laptop and projector, so vga out to projector and vga in from computer, press computer button so it goes blue, it will show PC display, press computer again, light will go red and it will show the visualiser view

What you have to know is that it's not like most visualisers, it's essentially a little android based device, more like a tablet really!
