Use Doc Camera in Video Conferences

Elmo's new document camera, Model DT-100AF, is more than just a color document camera or visual presenter. With a built-in microphone and unique design, the innovative camera head can be flipped up for use as a face camera in videoconferencing settings.

The unit is one of the first desktop document cameras with an IR remote control for all of its functions, with the remote storing neatly in the base. Another first is a built-in LED Center Marker (rare in a desktop unit) that simplifies centering of subject material.

Other features include genlock, back-light compensation, a resolution of 450 lines (horizontal), RS-232C connector for PC control, a 10X autofocus power zoom, composite Y/C output and two built-in lenses.
