DOCUMENT CAMERA

Some technology-enhanced classrooms are equipped with a document camera, similar to an overhead projector, in order to view printed documents or other items.  

Turning on and using the document camera will depend on which type display-switching device has been installed in the room:  AMX or EZtrol.

AMX-Panel:

  1. Turn on the document camera.  The main power switch is located near one of the back corners of the display surface.  It takes a few seconds for the light to come on.

  2. Turn on the AMX Remote Control.

  3. Touch Select Device (if not already on the device selection screen).

  4. Touch DOC CAM option on the AMX Remote Control.

  5. Touch POWER to choose which projector(s) to use for displaying the document camera output.

  6. Use the controls on the document camera to zoom in/out of documents and objects.

  7. When finished, turn off the document camera.
