Using the Activboard with a document camera

[MiguelR]

Hello everyone!

I am pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, but has anyone ever used the Activsoftware with a document camera (ELMO, et al)? I don't think it can happen since the software is relegated to the desktop and the camera is a separate entity, but I was asked to make sure.

Thanks, as always, for the help!

Hi Miguel,

Use the forum search for 'elmo', 'visualiser' or 'document camera'. There have been loads of posts about this that I'm sure you'll find useful.

Does your document camera attach to the computer or directly to the projector?

If to the computer, that's good because if what you are "caputing" with the camera shows on your computer screen, then you can interact with the image with the tools.

If not, then, yes, they are two separate things.
