Getting Started with Your Lumens Document Camera
Document cameras are quickly becoming the most sought-after interactive learning tool for the classroom.
They are digital video cameras that are used in place of overhead projectors and allow you to project
documents, books, pictures, and three-dimensional objects. As you will see from this document, they are
simple to use.
Document cameras are also recognized as an output device, used to view and digitally capture objects as well
as record video. They are typically used with a projector, which is also an output device, that takes video in
(VGA in) and projects the images to a screen.
Camera Components and Functions
Document cameras consist of three basic
parts:
1)
The camera head
2)
The lamp(s), and
3)
The base unit
The base unit is your gateway to
leveraging all that the camera can do.
The base unit enables several functional
operating options including:
A)
video or VGA output to your
projector through the VGA port
B)
DVI output to your projector if that
option is available on your particular
projector
C)
video input from your computer via the DVI to VGA adapter (an optional item)
