P30S

VISUAL PRESENTER

ELMO’s Checklist for Effective Visual Presentations:

Even in an increasingly virtual world, reality is often the best teacher. Actual

specimens, real three-dimensional objects, authentic documents, and pages

directly from a book all make visual presentations more diverse, realistic, and

vivid. Make the most of your real-world materials with an ELMO P30S Visual

Presenter. Deliver real-time, true-to-life presentations that catch and keep the

attention of everyone in the room. Integrate your resources into data files for

easy transfer to a PC or SD card storage. And let the learning begin.

Built-in 3.5-inch LCD monitor

Thanks to the built-in 3.5-inch LCD monitor, you see before you on the control panel
exactly what viewers see behind you on the screen. This way, you can adjust your
materials as needed and continue your presentation without ever turning around or
missing a beat.

Flexible free-angle camera arm

Broaden the view and heighten your impact. The flexible camera arm lets you capture
your subjects from any angle and focus attention precisely where you want it. Simply
lower the arm and rotate the camera head to project an intriguing bottom-to-top
look at a three-dimensional object.

1.35-megapixel CMOS image sensor

For vivid, high-resolution images that keep viewers engaged, the P30S relies on a horizontal
resolution of 800 lines—meeting the highest industry standard—a highly precise 1,350,000­pixel CMOS image sensor, and a specially designed lens that minimizes distortion and light
falloff around the edges. The resulting images are as even as they are beautiful.

Advanced 64x zoom and auto focus

For unsurpassed clarity, the P30S boasts a camera unit, made up of a special lens and zoom
component, that was designed exclusively for the P30S. High-magnification 16x optical zoom
and 4x digital zoom ensure that all materials—from three-dimensional objects or books to
special items such as slides—are faithfully displayed down to the most intricate detail. Even
the tiniest display subjects appear distortion-free. And with one-push auto focus, the P30S
instantly and automatically determines and sets just the right focus for the sharpest, crispest
detail possible.

USB 2.0 PC interface

The P30S is conveniently equipped with a USB port for easy image transfer to a PC. It
can even be used as a 3D scanner. Bundled Image Mate software lets you easily
monitor, capture, edit, and save any image on your PC. This presentation-boosting
software provides annotation tools for drawing lines or boxes in a variety of colors on
captured images and a screen separation function for side-by-side comparisons of
live video and stored images. The P30S also has TWAIN compatibility that brings you
the versatility to import saved image files to commercially available photo
retouching software.

Easy access to primary functions

With zoom and auto focus conveniently concentrated on the camera
head, you can zoom in, zoom out, and adjust the focus as needed
without disrupting the flow of your presentation. Other frequently
used functions have been conveniently concentrated in plain view on
the control panel for easy operation. Everything is right at your
fingertips for immediate access.

Quick setup

With just one simple movement, the camera and light on the compact P30S
are ready for action. And both can be easily folded down when no longer
needed. This quick and easy setup gets your presentations off to the
smoothest of starts.

30 fps for smooth motion display

At 30 frames per second, the P30S smoothly captures and reproduces moving
images. The high frame rate helps eliminate the stroboscopic effects produced when
the zoom adjusts itself or the display subject is moved and the after-images
produced when the subject is changed.

HDTV- and 16:9-compatible

Thanks to a 1280x720-dot HDTV output, the P30S easily accommodates even 16:9
high-definition TV monitors—without elongating the display image. And progressive
scanning prevents on-screen flickering and blurring for distraction-free viewing.

Clear text mode

To accentuate the difference between black and white on monochrome texts, the
P30S is equipped with a contrast-enhancing text mode. As a result, letters and
numbers are clearly reproduced, facilitating the reading of even very small text and
ensuring that your presentation has the intended impact.

SD card-ready

Now there’s no need to bring a PC and
other hardware to every presentation. For
slide show presentations, simply store
your images on an SD card (sold
separately). You and the SD-card­accommodating P30S are ready to go.
