document camera adopts eco-friendly, low power consumption and long lasting LED

lamps, which stay cool to the touch and are mercury-free.

ensures instant autofocus when you quickly zoom in and out of any object. You can also

manually adjust the zoom by pressing

ZOOM +

Multiple Inputs and Outputs

The VGA and USB connections allow a computer to be connected and the computer signal

to be input. The document camera also has C-Video and S-Video connectors, which can

output the document camera image. The output can be determined by the color of the

power light as follows:

Yellow= S-Video (projector should be set to S-Video input)

Red = Direct image from document camera

Blue

= VGA image from PC

White = Standby mode

USB 2.0 Port

The USB port can be used to store still images from the document camera on a computer,

or to record live video from the document camera. No additional computer hardware is

required. The document camera can, in effect, be used as a 3-D scanner for your computer.

Connect the document camera to your computer with the supplied USB cable. The

document camera software is available on the supplied CD-ROM.

USB Image Capture and Video Recording

The document camera is equipped with a USB 2.0 image capture and video recording

system. Simply connect the document camera to a computer, with the software provided,

and you can easily preview, capture, and save images and video on your PC.

RS232 Control

The RS232 terminal allows you to integrate the document camera into any central control

system, like in a lecture hall. RS232 also enables you to control the document camera via

computer.
