 Chapter 1
Getting Started
Before You Start
In order to ensure a successful installation of the Pitch™ Duo software it
is first necessary to confirm that your Mobile Device and your computer
are connected and configured correctly. You must also make sure you
are using the correct version of HotSync® for your Mobile Device’s
operating system.

Once you have the correct version of HotSync® installed on your host
computer, you will need to connect your Mobile Device to your computer
via the USB cable and perform a HotSync® operation. Keep the device
connected and turned on to continue.
a. If the HotSync® is successful, go to the Install the Software
section.
b. If the HotSync® is unsuccessful, refer to your Mobile Device
documentation for guidance in configuring the device and
conducting a HotSync®. Continued problems should be
addressed with the device manufacturer or Palm technical
support.

 Communicating with Pitch Duo
Pitch Duo communicates with your Mobile Device via either Bluetooth or
USB – your choice. It is, therefore, important for you to decide how you
want to use your Mobile Device with Pitch Duo. Do you want to use
Bluetooth, USB, or maybe both (just not at the same time)?

Before you continue, you should make sure your Pitch Duo is connected
to your monitor or other display device and the Bluetooth Dongle and
power adapter are also connected.

To configure your Mobile Device, just follow these simple steps:

Tap on the Home Icon.

Tap on the QPLite Icon.

This is the main access to

QPLite functions.

Tap on Quickpoint Lite in

the upper left corner of the
window to tell QPLite how to
communicate with Pitch.

Tap on the Quickpoint Lite

button (see above graphic) to
open the Communications
Setup Menu.

Then, on the dropdown

Options menu, tap on
Bluetooth to configure your
Mobile Device to communicate
with Pitch.

If you want to use USB, go to

the Using USB section. If you
want to use Bluetooth, go to
the Using Bluetooth section.

A Guide to Pitch Duo 9

 Using USB
To use USB to communicate with Pitch Duo, unplug your USB cable from
your host computer and connect it to the USB connector directly below
the power connector.

Be sure you have the power adapter connected to your Pitch Duo.

DO NOT CHECK the checkbox.

Simply tap on the OK button for USB

communications.

Your Mobile Device is now

configured to use USB to
communicate with Pitch.

Any available PowerPoint

on the back of the Bluetooth dongle attached
to your Pitch Duo. This MAC address,
highlighted in this sample label, will match a
MAC address displayed in the Bluetooth
devices window.
Now that Pitch is configured to use Bluetooth communications, you can
go directly to Chapter 3 to prepare your PowerPoint Presentations for use
with Pitch.

presentation with a simple menu click.

Pres Menu

This menu allows you to Start

and Stop your presentation by
simply tapping the Start or Stop
options with the stylus.

The Auto Run option on this

menu allows your Pitch Duo to
run unattended. Just like
PowerPoint slide shows on your
host computer, the Auto Run

the amount of time you want
between slides.

The Restore Slide Order option is a duplicate of the one that appears on
the Slide menu after you reorder slides in your presentation. It has been
added here for your convenience and will also restore your slide
presentation to its original order.

To configure your presentation for “hands-

free” operation, you can adjust the amount of
time between slides by using the or 
arrows to increase or decrease the amount of
time between slides.

If you want your presentation to repeat itself in

a continuous loop, place a ; in the box for

Pitch will continuously your presentation in a totally unattended fashion as
long as the Pitch has power.

Tap OK when you are finished. Be sure to return to the Pres Menu and
tap on the Start option to begin your hands-free presentation.

Once the presentation is running is a standalone mode, you may use your
Mobile Device for anything else you need. Pitch will continue to run your
presentation – completely unattended. To stop Pitch from operating in a
standalone mode, simply reconnect a Mobile Device to regain control. For
your convenience, any Mobile Device running a current version of QPLite
can perform this task. Alternately, you can simply unplug Pitch to clear it.

A Guide to Pitch Duo 17

 Using QDisplay for Remote Display
With Pitch Duo you can easily view the contents of your Mobile Device’s
display window on a remote display device. This special feature provides
an invaluable tool – whether for training or for displaying different mobile
applications not directly associated to PowerPoint.

Using QDisplay, you can train small or large groups to use their Mobile
Devices or special applications on their Mobile Device. Simply connect a
Mobile Device to Pitch and connect Pitch to a Remote Display Device,
like a projector or large screen TV/monitor. Then demonstrate on your
Mobile Device everything you want your group to learn. They can now
see everything you are doing on the remote device and follow along on
their on their Mobile Devices, emulating your every action.

To set up your Mobile Device to use Pitch’s remote display feature, follow
these simple steps:

Go to the Home

Tap on the QPLite icon to bring up the Quickpoint screen.

Tap on the Quickdisplay button in the

upper left corner of the Quickdisplay
screen and select Bluetooth from the
Options Menu.

The next window that pops-up will allow

you to configure QDisplay to work with
either Bluetooth or USB.

To use USB, simply tap the OK button

WITHOUT placing a ; in the Connect
with Bluetooth checkbox.

To use Bluetooth simply place a ; in the

Connect with Bluetooth checkbox and then tap
the OK button.

The remote display device will now display everything you see on your
Mobile Device’s display window.

To stop the Remote Display feature, simply tap on the Home icon
followed by the QDisplay icon. Then tap on the Remote Display Stop
button in the center of the Quickdisplay window.

Tips & Tricks:

Slide Transitions: Although Pitch Duo does not support

bullet-building, you can use a similar
visual impact by using a base slide
with the first bullet and incrementing
the bullets on additional identical
slides.
Large Presentations: If you have a large presentation (up to
the 32MB Pitch limit), you can speed
your setup time by uploading the
presentation via USB. Then change
Quickpoint back to Bluetooth for
remote access during your
presentation.
Large Audience or Venue: If you are giving a presentation to a
large audience or in a large venue
where the distance between Pitch and
your Mobile Device would like exceed
Bluetooth’s typical range of 30 feet (10
meters), you can configure Pitch to
function as a standalone device. Use
Quickpoint’s Auto Run options to
create a timed slide presentation that
will also allow it to work even when you
are out of range.
Mobile Device Training: The best method of teaching a small or
large group to use their new Mobile
Device is to configure Pitch for remote
display. Because the Remote Display
option then shows everything the
Mobile Device does on the remote
display device, the trainees can then
follow along on their personal Mobile
Devices. This is a much better option
than having everyone gather around
your desk and look over everyone
else’s shoulder.

Important Notes:
1. Because Pitch Duo uses a high-performance Pentium-class CPU and
graphics system, it does create heat during extended use. This is
normal.
2. You can check for updated software and get additional information
about Pitch Duo at www.iGoPitch.com.
3. Please note that software updates are downloaded in ZIP format.
UnZip the software (ZIP utilities are available from www.pkware.com.)
prior to attempting installation.
4. Pitch Duo does not require a ‘trusted device’ status pairing to
communicate with Bluetooth Mobile Devices. The only requirement is
to enable and set-up Bluetooth connectivity on the Mobile Device. The
software applications will initiate the connection needed for
presentation or remote display.
5. The Pitch Duo product/software combination supports all recent
releases of PowerPoint and Microsoft Office, including, PowerPoint
2000 and later. It does not support earlier versions of PowerPoint.
6. The Pitch Duo does NOT support animation features, embedded
audio, embedded MPEG, live motion video, or bullet-building.
7. The Pitch Duo does NOT support IR communications on current
Mobile Devices.
