- Description
- Showslide transition box used during slide shows to seamlessly transition between slides, eliminating the standard black screen as slides reset. The Showslide box has one grey plastic power cord and two black plastic cords that plug into two slide projectors coming out of the back, as well as two power outlets that serve an unknown purpose. The front of the box includes the power switch, a signal lamp, a plug for a tape recorder [according to the instruction manual, the Showslide box can also be used to play taped slideshows that have pre-recorded custom transitions], and the plug for the hand control remote - the remote has a small metal switch that goes between “PLAY” and “RECORD,” a black plastic knob that slides up and down the length of the remote [possibly the trigger to switch between the two projectors], and a yellow plastic button with an embedded red light that is labeled “FLIP.” Also accompanying the box are two instruction manuals, the larger of which has several hand-written notes on the front and back.
