The World Leader in Image Quality
Product Overview
Product Overview
Universities, boardrooms, and conventions have the
common goal of effective information communication.
Today’s individual is continually being bombarded by
sophisticated media presentation. To compete effectively
for his attention (and retention) one must utilize similar
techniques. The basis for most current efforts is elec-
tronic data manipulation.
A picture is still “worth a thousand words”, therefore, in
may presentations there is a need to insert pictures
electronically for display, image enhancement, publishing,
etc. Some of the “best” pictures around are stored on the
millions of existing 35mm slides.
The sole function of the VideoMate 2030 (NTSC) & 2030
(PAL) is to provide an electronic representation of the
contents of a normal 35mm slide. The output signals
available are Composite Video and S-Video.
Product Description
The VideoMate 2030 utilizes a standard Kodak slide
transport mechanism to present the 35mm slide image to
a “state-of-the-art” color CCD array. Included in the
package is a color balanced illumination system and high
resolution Navitar zoom imaging lens. The zoom lens
permits both the viewing of “vertical” slides and some
“blowing up” of the center portion of the image.
Output is standard Composite Video through the BNC
connector and S-Video output is available through a 4-pin
MiniDin plug.

Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
For safety, before connecting the projector to the main,
ensure that the voltage selector is set to your main
voltage and the required fuse is fitted. An incorrectly
adjusted main voltage can damage the projector.
To prevent damage to equipment and operating personnel,
please observe the following precautions:
Insure that the voltage source contains a satisfactory path
to ground.
Do not operate where fluids could come into contact with
electrical components.
Maintain a six inch (15cm) air space around all sides of
equipment to allow proper ventilation.
Do not operate projector with a damaged cord or if the
projector has been dropped or damaged until it has been
examined by a qualified service technician.
Other than lamp changing, there are no user serviceable
components. Opening of the unit will expose dangerous
voltage levels and damage sensitive electronic
components.
All repairs should be performed by a qualified service
technician.
To protect unit from damaging condensation and thermal
shocks, these procedures should be followed:
1. In cold weather, always put the unit in moisture proof
container or enclosure before transporting.
2. Keep the unit warm while transporting or allow the
unit’s chassis to return to room temperature before
being turned on.
The goal is to prevent warm moist air from striking cold
electric and optical components and causing damaging
condensation.
Warning! Never operate a cold projector.

Voltage Selection
Voltage Selection
Check voltage setting.
The Navitar VideoMate will be exported throughout the
world to countries with differing mains voltages. The
projectors are already set during manufacture to a fixed
main voltage.
100-200V mains:
Shipments to countries with 100 or 200V mains will be
equipped with a 5A fuse. A spare fuse for replacement is
also supplied.
220, 230, or 240V mains:
Shipments to countries with 220, 230 or 240V mains will
be equipped with 2.5A fuse. A spare fuse for replacement
is also supplied.
Before you switch on your projector ensure that voltage is
correctly adjusted! An incorrectly adjusted mains voltage
can damage the projector. The voltage selector must
show your country’s actual mains voltage. To set the
voltage selector simply turn the selector until the arrow of
your main voltage lines up with the arrow on the projector
housing. To fit or check the fuse, pull out the fuse holder
located beneath the main socket.

Installation
Installation
Before installing please review precautions.
For those users familiar with both the operation of 35mm
slide projector and their own video displays, the following
is an abbreviated start-up procedure.
1. Check the voltage setting before powering on. Make
sure that the setting is correct. In addition, the fuse
needs to be checked.
2. Plug in power cable.
3. Connect peripheral equipment to the BNC and/or S-
Video Connector located under the lamp module.
4. Make sure there is no slide left in the slide gate.
Place slide tray on the projector with the “0” slide slot
at the gate index.
5. Turn on peripherals and set the VideoMate power
switch to high. If white light from the projector spills
onto the monitor screen when the projector is first
turned on, the automatic dark-screen shutter built into
the projector is not engaged. To engage the shutter,
simply press the select bar. The shutter will engage
and the projector light will be blocked.
6. Select a relatively “white” slide to represent the highest
signal level the electronic must accommodate. Adjust
the Iris Control “I” and the peripheral controls to
produce a suitable image. The Focus control “F”
should also be adjusted at this time. Turn Zoom wheel
to achieve desired magnification.
NOTE: A very dark slide may require readjustment of
the Iris Control, but normally, a setting can be reached
that produces an acceptable display throughout the
range of slides.
The more the iris is open, the less the depth of field.
What this means is that with the darker slides, you will
open the iris more and will be able to judge focus more
critically; but also means that any deformities in the slide
will cause a visible “out-of-focus” condition.

Installation
9. To shut down the system, hold down the select bar
and rotate the slide tray to the “0” index position. Set
the power switch to “off”.
10. For instructions regarding setting up slide tray
changing lamps, etc., refer to the appropriate section
of the manual.

Slide Tray Installation
Slide Tray Set-Up
This system was designed to permit usage of prepared
presentations without reorientation of the slides in the
tray.
Your new Navitar VideoMate will accept Kodak Ektapro
80, Kodak Ektagraphic 80 for holding 80 slides with a
maximum slide mount thickness of 3.2mm and Kodak
Carousel Transvue 140 Slide Tray for holding 140 slides
with a maximum mount thickness of 1.6mm. We recom-
mend the 80 slide tray more maximum reliability.
For those setting up a new tray and/or presentation:
1. Arrange your slides in the order you wish them to
appear in the presentation. Orient them such that they
are upright and reading correctly from left to right.
2. Rotate each slide to turn the image upside down (do
not turn the slide over). Mark a sequential number in
the upper right corner of each slide (this will be ex-
tremely useful should the slides become mixed). Use
a felt tipped market rather than a label that will be
loosened by the heat.
3. Make sure the bottom metal plate on the slide tray is
indexed into the “0” position (the plate will not rotate
with respect to the top tray). Remove the top lock ring
by rotating it counterclockwise.
4. Insert slide number 1 into slot “1”. The number written
on the upper right corner of each slide should be at the
top and facing the next higher numbered slot. Load all
slides and replace and lock the top lock ring.
Slide Tray Installation
1. Center the tray over the post of the projector.
2. Gently rotate the tray until the “0” slide slot is at the
index mark and the tray will drop into position. If the
tray doesn’t drop into position, check if the lower metal
plate is located in the zero position (rotate until it
locks).

Slide Tray Installation
Slide Tray Removal
To remove the tray from the projector without losing slides:
1. Hold the selector bar down and rotate the tray back to
the zero index position.
2. Lift the tray at a point opposite the index mark.
Slide Tray Jam
The tray may jam if a damaged slide is caught in the gate.
To release the tray:
1. Move the power switch to “off”.
2. Push the select bar down and the slide should come
up.
If the tray is still jammed:
1. Hold the release tab on the projector post out while
lifting the tray on the side opposite the index mark.
When the tray is removed, the select bar will release
the slide.
2. Invert the slide and rotate the bottom metal plate until
it locks into the zero position.
3. Turn the tray back upright and remove the lock ring. If
the slide in undamaged, return it to its proper slot.
Replace the lock ring and continue.

Replacement of the Lamp
The entire illumination system is contained in a unit called
a lamp module. This module is a drawer type configura-
tion which may be removed from the projector for lamp
changing. If anticipated usage of the VideoMate is such
that the downtime associated with changing a lamp would
be detrimental to the goal, a second (spare) VideoMate
lamp may be purchased which will reduce the lapse to a
fraction of a minute. It will also eliminate the accumula-
tion of partially burned lamps with unknown remaining life.
Please call for price and availability.
To replace the lamp:
1. Turn power off and allow the unit to cool down before
handling.
2. Press down on the door latch of the lamp module and
pull slowly outward until the module clears the projec-
tor.
3. Unclasp the wire bail which holds the lamp in place
and push from underneath the lamp to slide the lamp
out of the receptacle.

Lamps/Fuse Replacement
4. Reverse the procedure to insert a new lamp (make
sure the new lamp is properly seated).
5. Lock the new lamp in place with wire bail.
Fuses
Always switch off the projector and unplug the main lead
before replacing a fuse. Avoid the risk of fire, replace only
with a fuse of same type and rating.
Simply pull out the fuse holder, remove the blown fuse and
fit the required replacement.
1. 1 x T2.5 A H/250 V for 220, 230 and 240V
