Document Camera
The
eBeam Focus Document Camera
(DocCam)takes still images or videos that you can
use as backgrounds or objects on a Scrapbook page. Save your images in the Gallery for
easy access, and weave them into your presentations. The images are stored as medium
resolution jpeg files.
To launch eBeam Focus Viewer
The eBeam Focus DocCam works with Windows Vista and Windows XP, and does not require
a driver.
1.
Plug the DocCam into a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
2.
Select the
eBeam Focus Viewer
button from the Scrapbook toolbar or from the
View
menu.
The eBeam Focus Viewer window opens, floating over the Scrapbook window. A live feed
from the camera displays in the eBeam Focus Viewer window.
Note:
If there is no DocCam connected, the following error message displays: “Your
document camera could not be found. Check connection and try again.”
Other Ways to Capture Images
You can use the eBeam Focus Viewer button to launch any connected or embedded
camera.
You must load any required camera drivers and connect external cameras via USB.
Caution

used cameras employ this method and will not launch from the eBeam Education Suite.
