\section{Explanation}
\subsection{Installation process}
\begin{frame}{Installation process}%
	\begin{itemize}[<+->]
		\item configure your computer to 1400x1050
		\item configure the projector to have 1024x786
		\item the projector should use some pic in pic feature and display the upper right part, e.g.:\\
		\texttt{xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x786 --pos 376x0}
	\end{itemize}
\note{%
	\begin{itemize}
		\item this is only one frame, therefore the pagecounter counts for all pdfpages of this frame
	\end{itemize}
}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Advantages of this Note Page}
\begin{frame}{Advantages of this Note Page}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item you can use the navigation on the side instead of a navigationbar on the slides
		\item you can jump directly to pages (e.g., question from auditorium: ``Can you please jump to slide 10 once more?'')
		\item you can jump to sections/subsections as you want directly
		\item you can see the next slide, before it appears
		\item you can see the time (use the package option \texttt{time=45} to let it count down from 45 minutes)
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Counter Howto}
\begin{frame}{How to use the counter}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item after you finished your talk, jump to the first page (Ctrl+Pos1)
		\item turn the counting off (click on the checkbox)
		\item you can go through the slides and look 
			\begin{enumerate}
				\item how long it took you to present one frame
				\item what was the total time, when you were at the certain frame
			\end{enumerate}
		\item click on ``show summary'' to get a summary (yes, this is a button ;--))
	\end{itemize}
