DiggiDitto™  DC596—Smart Camera with Image Recognition                          27

4.5   Make Tab

From the Make tab, you can create a presentation with the DC596 

image recognition software.
To begin, place an image under the DC596. The image will incite the 

DC596 software to play or link up to eight different kinds of files. 

The recognized images are located in the top and bottom half on the 

left side. The alternate images are those images shown when an image 

is recognized. It is possible to have five additional images. The lower 

right side of  the Make tab shows the linked files.

The main toolbar of  the Make tab has the following buttons.

  

New: 

Opens up a new project folder.

  

Open: 

Opens an already existing project to add or 

delete links.

  

Save:

Saves after adding a new project folder or 

adding/deleting files after opening a project 

folder.

  

Focus: 

 Refocuses an out-of-focus image.

  

Pen: 

Enables you to write onscreen as one writes on 

a blackboard (refer to Section 4.3 for further 

information).

 

  

Full 

Screen:

Maximizes the screen size to fit the full screen. 

Pressing <Ctrl-Enter> produces the same result. 

Press it again to return to the original size. 

Pressing the 

ESC

 key when in Full Screen mode 

restores the window size as well.

Top/

Bottom 

Icon: 

Changes the position of  the toolbar (up or 

down). You cannot move the toolbar to the right 

or to the left. (shortcut: Ctrl-M)

As soon as you open the Make tab, you will see five different panes: 

Camera, Selected Image, Recognized Images, Link Files, and Add 

Alternate Images panes. The camera sees the Camera pane. A 

different image/object can be placed in front of the camera and will 

show up on the Camera pane. When pressing the 

Capture

 button in 

the Camera pane, the image is captured to the Selected Image pane 

and is placed in the Recognized Images pane.  A recognized image 

may be chosen by pressing the Add Recognized Images button and 

selecting an image from an individual collection.
