Loading the software
The accompanying disk has essential software
for enabling your computer to recognise the
visualiser and capture images, both still and
moving. This will be done through the USB
connecting lead.
The driver for your operating system must
be installed before connecting the USB lead.
The set-up wizard will take you through the
process.
VideoCap and Genee Toolbar are programs
that will give you live camera windows and
whiteboard tools on your desktop, allowing
you to annotate over them or capture in
common image and video formats that can
be incorporated into dierent applications.
The disk also contains additional information, including user guides and training videos.
