What is a Document Camera / Visual
Presenter?
A
visual presenter or document camera is a device that captures visual images by using a video camera
mounted vertically on a base. The video image is then converted to an electronic
signal that can be transmitted, using a video cable, to a data projector, a
video monitor, a computer*, a TV, or to a communications network to be received at a
remote location.
Each visual presenter is designed to meet certain needs;
portability, high visual resolution, and multiple audio-visual input and output
connections.
The visual presenter can act as a connection and
switching device for a computer generated "Power Point®"
presentation, a video tape player, DVD or CD players, digital cameras, printed
text and 3 dimensional objects.
The visual presenter provides a new level of visual communication
in education, legal or business presentations. It is an extremely versatile tool for
audio and video integration into a presentation.
High resolution document cameras provide 810,000 + pixels. A pixel is a point of
light, the greater the number of pixels, the higher the resolution or clarity
is. Please note that most data/computer projectors are limited to 850,000
pixels. They must limit the image to their abilities.
