OVERVIEW
The Logitech Presentation Software allows you to use the Spotlight pointer effects, to set timers and vibration alerts, to start and go back to your presentation, to customize button functions, and to monitor battery life.
When the software is not installed you will only have the following plug & play functionality:
POINTER EFFECTS
Hold the top button and move your hand to move the on-screen highlight as shown:
Activate the Spotlight on-screen pointer effects and customize their size, contrast, and color.
If you enable more than one effect you can double press the highlight button on your Spotlight to toggle between pointer effects during your presentation.
CURSOR CONTROL
If you need to click on links or videos in you will need to enable cursor control. This will give you the air-mouse functionality. The cursor will be visible at the center of the pointer effect and will allow you to click.
FREEZE THE EFFECT
This feature allows you to focus your audience on a specific part of your slide without having to keep pointing at it with your Spotlight. Simply move the highlight in the desired position and release the button: The highlight will remain there until you press the button again.
TIMERS
Track presentation time and set vibration alerts
To make sure your audience does not see the timer window, it will only be visible on your laptop presenter screen when connected to an external screen (or projector) with extended display. The timer window appears when you start the presentation. Note: The timer window will not appear if you are duplicating or mirroring displays. CURRENT TIME
When Clock is selected, the timer window will show the current time on your presenter screen. You can customize vibration alerts to happen at a given time.
For instance, if you know that your presentation will finish at 3:00 PM, you can set a vibration at 2:50 PM.
The vibration will only happen if Spotlight is active and connected to the computer. COUNTDOWN
The timer window will be visible on your presenter screen and the countdown will start when you press the Next button on your Spotlight.
You can select 15 min, 30min, 60min or enter a custom duration for your presentation.
You can define when you want to receive vibration alerts.
By default, you will get a vibration 5 min before the end. NOTE: You will always get a vibration at the end of your presentation.
