What can I do with it?

The camera can send the video of any object or writing to the data projector so it appears on the enormous screen. You can pivot the camera in many directions, including toward the seated area. It can zoom in on very small objects. If you want to try some advanced features, it can record images or video with audio to an SD memory card (user supplied). The document camera may be used as a source for web conferencing if a USB cable is attached.

What about transparencies?

You can display them using the camera without placing a light underneath. You may need to adjust the head a little to reduce glare.

What about marker board users?

The document camera can take the place of using marker or chalk boards. This is especially useful for accessibility - traditional marker board writing can be difficult to see for those near the rear of the room.

Basic instructions

  1. Turn on projector using ON (black box on wall)

  2. Wait 60 seconds (projector is warming up)

  3. Press the DOC CAM selection on the AV controls (touch panel or push button).

  4. Press the Power button on the document camera base

  5. Position the camera as desired, use zoom on remote or camera base
