Once the main screen is displayed, click the Settings icon on the bottom right to specify the HoverCam Solo/Ultra 8 camera and the video resolution you want to use (described in more detail in a following section).
To set up Flex 10, use an appropriate high quality USB cable and connect it from a Solo/Ultra 8 camera (the outlet on the left side of the Solo 8) to a USB port on your PC, preferably a USB 3.0 high speed port. Start Flex 10 by double­clicking on its icon. If a Solo/Ultra 8 camera is not connected, the Flex 10 program will show the Archive screen only with past images and recordings (described later in this manual).
The HoverCam Flex 10 application runs on IBM-PC compatible computers and allows you to record high­quality videos and snapshots with the HoverCam Solo/Ultra 8 or Ultra-8 camera. The 8 Mega Pixel (MP) Solo/Ultra 8 camera works over both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 communication ports, but you will see smoother video streaming while connected to a USB 3.0 port. This is because the camera transfers video data to your computer faster when using a USB 3.0 port instead of a USB 2.0 connection.

Split Screen
The Split Screen icon divides the computer screen into two images: the one on the left is the latest snapshot taken (or the latest snapshot chosen from the pull-out tab), and the image on the right is the live video from the Solo/Ultra 8 camera. The snapshot (or “still image”) has this control under it:
The slider bar allows you to zoom in and out of the still image. There are three buttons to the right of the slider bar. The leftmost button, “1:1”, causes the image to be displayed at maximum zoom. The second button causes the image to be zoomed all the way out. The third button is a toggle: click it to display the still image over the whole screen; click it again to shrink it back and show the split screen again.
Notice there is a vertical line between the two images. Drag the line left or right with the mouse to adjust the sizes of the two images relative to the whole screen.

Slingshot
The Slingshot feature allows you to insert the currently displayed image (and/or another stored image from the Archive) into another software application, such as a rich text editor/word processor, Interactive Whiteboard software or an image editor program. Multiple images may be pasted into your other program with one click of the Slingshot icon.
Click on the Slingshot icon. Flex 10 immediately minimizes and a small window showing your current image appears near the upper left portion of your screen:
Notice there are three buttons on this thumbnail image:

Go to the application program where you want to bring the image; the Slingshot window will remain near the upper left on your screen. Grab the window with the mouse and drag it onto your application program where you want the image to display. It may take a second or two for the image to appear there. Notice the Slingshot window is still displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. You will use this in a moment to return to Flex 10.
To paste in a previously saved image, click the Archive button on the Slingshot window. Then select the saved image by clicking it and dragging it onto your application. You may select and paste multiple images at this time.
After inserting your image(s), you may want to save your application; you can make adjustments to the image(s) later.
Exit the Slingshot feature and return to Flex 10 by clicking on the Go Back button shown in the upper left corner of the Slingshot window.

Snapshot
Once the live video image is adjusted to your liking, save a picture of it by clicking on the Snapshot icon. Your most recent snapshot will be shown in the small rectangle on the left side of the bottom Tool bar. It will also appear in the pull-out panel on the left.
Your snapshots are stored by default in the following subdirectory:
“… My Documents\HoverCam Flex\My HoverCam Flex Library\Image
In the pull-out panel, the snapshots are displayed with their unique names by default as with any digital camera. You may rename these images using the Archive screen described later in this manual.
Video Recording
To capture a video sequence, click the Record icon in the center bottom of the screen. This
brings up a set of five buttons in a pop-up dialog box just above the Record icon:
Screen capture Record (circle) Pause Stop (square) Playback (arrow) More (>>) Timer
settings
The digital timer is displayed above the buttons to show how long the video has been recording.
Click the Record button (circle) to begin recording. Flex 10 will perform initializations and the recording will begin after one or two seconds. Notice the timer starts counting up once the recording begins. Click the Stop button to stop recording. The pop-up dialog box will remain on the screen during recording, but it will not show up in the recorded video.
View the recording by clicking the Playback button (arrow) on the right. This brings up the video in a Windows ® Media Player window. You may resize the window. When it finishes replaying, you can close it or replay it again. Click the Record icon again to exit this feature.
The video files are saved as WMV files in the Archive. The default subdirectory is the following:

Multi Scan (Automatic Multiple Snapshots)
The Multi Scan feature allows you to set up a series of multiple snapshots, taken automatically. You can set it up to take snapshots on a time interval or by a motion trigger.
Timer: Select this tab to set up for automatic snapshots according to a constant time interval.
The Time Interval parameter is set with the up/down arrows on the right side of the box. Large values can be typed into the box. You can do time-lapsed photography this way. For example, to take a snapshot every 15 minutes, set the value to 900 (60*15).
Flex 10 can stop taking pictures automatically after a certain number of images are taken. Click the “Set maximum number of pictures” box and another number adjustment field box appears. Set the maximum number of pictures using the up/down arrows on the right side of the box. Large values can be typed into the box.
Start the automatic sequence by clicking the Start button. The dialog box will immediately shrink down out of the way of the image, and only its title bar will be shown just above the Toolbar. To check on the progress of the sequence or to stop it, click the up arrow on the right of the Multi Scan dialog title bar to bring up the dialog again. The Total Captures count in the upper right corner will increase each time a snapshot is taken. Click the Stop button (or the “X” in the upper right corner) when you want to stop the sequence.
Check the “Save to PDF” box to save the entire sequence of still images to one PDF file. You will find the file in the Archive under the PDF folder.

Motion: Select this tab to set up for automatic snapshots according to a motion that the camera will detect, such as a wave of your hand or turning a page under the camera lens. The Countdown and
Trigger Reactive Time parameters are set with the up/down arrows next to the box.
Countdown is the number of seconds the camera will wait after sensing the motion before it takes the
snapshot. Trigger Reactive Time is the number of seconds that Flex 10 will wait before recognizing another motion. So if you need about 10 seconds to set up each successive snapshot, and you want the camera to take a picture immediately once it senses motions, set Countdown to 0 (zero) seconds and Trigger Reactive Time to 10 seconds.
Start the automatic sequence by clicking the Start button. The dialog box will immediately shrink down out of the way of the image, and only its title bar will be shown just above the Toolbar. To check on the progress of the sequence or to stop it, click the up arrow on the right of the Multi Scan dialog title bar to bring up the dialog again. The Total Captures count in the upper right corner will increase each time a snapshot is taken. Click the Stop button (or the “X” in the upper right corner) when you want to stop the sequence.
Check the “Save to PDF” box to save the entire sequence of still images to one PDF file. You will find it in the Archive under the PDF folder.
Freeze
Click the Freeze icon to freeze the displayed image under the camera. Click the icon again to “un-freeze” the image and return to live video. This feature allows you to make changes under the camera that will not be displayed until you un-freeze the display.
While the image is “frozen”, the Annotation feature still works, but you won’t be able to see the annotations until you click the Freeze icon again to “un-freeze” the display. Snapshot also works, and will take a snapshot of what is actually under the camera, not the frozen image.

Annotate
You may annotate the current image with words (text), lines, arrows and shapes. These annotations display as an overlay on the image. The Annotate tab located on the far right center of the screen brings up a Annotation Wheel”. You can rotate this wheel by using the wheel on your mouse, or using 2 fingers to drag on your touchpad.
Any annotations you make will be included in your videos or snapshots until they are cleared away.
Hover your pointer over any image on the wheel and you will see an ellipse (3 dots). Click this for more options.

Control
The Control icon brings up a dialog box showing six different image parameters with horizontal slider bars for adjusting each of them on the displayed image. These parameters are initially adjusted automatically by the camera.
Use the slider bars to manually adjust Brightness, Contrast and Saturation. These three may also be adjusted by clicking the minus “-“ and plus “+” signs on either end of the slider bars.
The three slider bars at the bottom of the dialog box are for Focus, Exposure and White balance. Use the slider bar to adjust each parameter, or you may click the corresponding button on the left of the slider bar to have the camera automatically set the parameter (AF for Auto-Focus, AE for Auto-Exposure and AWB for Auto-White Balance). The buttons on the right of each slider bar will cause the camera to automatically set the parameter and then lock it so it won’t automatically change until you unlock it (AF- L for Auto-Focus Lock, AE-L for Auto-Exposure Lock and WB-L to lock the white balance setting).
Once your adjustments are in place, you can Save your settings and exit the dialog by clicking the Save button near the bottom right. Click Cancel to exit the dialog without saving your changes
Click the Reset button to bring all the values back to the original values set by the camera.

Cropping
Click this button to select a rectangular portion of your current image for a snapshot (scan). The mouse cursor becomes a cross-hair which you then click and drag to select a rectangle within your image. Move the cross-hair to the upper left corner of the area, then click and hold the mouse button down as you drag the rectangle shape to the lower right corner of the area to select.
Double-crop: You may select up to two separate rectangles at a time, and when you click Snapshot, both of those regions will be saved as separate image files. After you select a first cropped area, press and hold the Ctrl (control) key on the computer keyboard and drag a second cropping area. This feature is handy if you have an open book under the camera and want to scan both pages at once. The cropped areas may be resized or moved by dragging the sizing squares or centers with your mouse.
The Crop tool icon will be colored blue and white when the Crop feature is selected. De-select it by clicking the icon again.

Archive
The Archive feature allows you to view all of your saved image and video files, as well as PDF files you have saved. The files may be organized, printed, deleted, renamed and moved to different directories.
Click the pull-out tab on the main screen and the recent snapshots will be displayed in a panel on the left side of the screen, along with an arrow icon at the top of the panel labeled Go to Archive. As you move your mouse over each image on this panel, a red “X” will appear in the upper right corner of the image. You can delete the image easily by clicking the red “X”.
If you double-click on one of these images, it opens the image just as if you had opened it in the Archive window (described under “Organizing your image files”, below).
Click the Go to Archive icon and the Archive screen will appear as shown below.
Return to the Main Screen by clicking the red camera icon located at top left corner of the Archive screen.

Archive Controls
Along the top of the screen is the Archive Controls panel. The icons here are buttons that allow you to work with, organize and print your image files. These features work only on the files displayed in the center area of the Archive screen and are described below.
Stack
The Stack feature lets you organize files by allowing you to group similar files together into one file called a “stack”. This is very convenient for emailing a group of images or to create a virtual booklet of your scanned documents.
To stack items, simply select all files that you would like to include in a group by clicking on the box to the left of each file, then click the Stack icon. The files will be bundled into one file.

Delete
The Delete button allows you to delete selected files. Deleted items are moved to the Flex 10 “Recycle Bin”. Click on a file to select it, then click the Delete button. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
Select multiple files for deletion by clicking them one at a time and then clicking Delete.
Create PDF
This handy feature saves your selected image(s) as a PDF file. Select one or more image files, then click the Create PDF button. Your new .pdf file will be saved in the Images subdirectory. It will also be shown when you click on the PDF file type on the left side of the screen.
OCR (Optical Character Reader)
The OCR feature is for converting an image of a page of text to an actual text file. It could take a minute or two depending on the print quality of the original image.
Export
The Export feature allows you to copy one selected file from the My HoverCam Flex Library and save it as a JPG, PNG, BMP or TIFF file elsewhere on your computer. Select a file, then click the Export button. A dialog box will prompt you for the location, new filename and file type to save. This dialog also displays a thumbnail of the image that will be exported. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to abandon the export.
If you specify more than one file, only the first file listed is included in the exported file.
