Introduction
Thank you for using the PPT100 software. This software is the world first software that can direct transfer a
PC’s screen to high quality DV or SDI signal. PPT100 is ideal for shooting speeches, seminars or
presentations; it allows video directors to do onthespot switching between live scenes and PC screens. You
will be amazed by what you can do with this advanced piece of technology. In order to bring out the maximum
performance of this software, we recommend that you spend some time reading this manual carefully.
Product Overview
In many conferences and seminars, lecturers need to present videos and additional PC information to the
audience. When they switch sources between PC and other media on the projector it causes the transient
black picture and interrupts the flow of the meeting. The solution is a highend VGA to video converter, which
converts VGA to high resolution video, enabling the PC output to be selected via a video switcher.
Thanks to Blackmagic Design and Datavideo the solution is at hand. Blackmagic Design has introduced a low
cost range of SDI solutions, which are called the “Decklink Series”, and Datavideo have developed the first
software for delivering ultra high quality video directly out thru these Decklink SDI cards. The Datavideo PPT
100 takes full advantage of the Decklink card and Intel 915 chipset technology. Users can easily convert PC
images (VGA) to DV or SDI, change image position and size, and select different colors for the pointer; and
then, display on projector or large TV wall. With a vision mixer/switcher such as the SE800, you can also
combine DVD player, DV camera, VCR, VHS and CD player for a perfect presentation.
