Setup
First, position the Duo document camera by rotating the
camera arm to point the camera at the intended area to
display. The camera arm can rotate along 3 axises, and
the camera head can pivot 270º for webcam use.

HDMI Connection
Use the included HDMI camera to connect the Duo to an
HDMI display, like a projector, interactive flat panel, TV, or
monitor. While using HDMI, the camera must also be
connected to wall power through the Power Supply.
Alternatively, the camera can receive power from a computer via USB. See the
next page.

USB Connection
Use the included USB-C cable to connect the Duo to the
USB-C port of a PC, Mac, or Chromebook. If your computer
does not have a USB-C port, use the included USB-A to
USB-C Cable to connect the Duo to a USB-A port on your
computer. While connected to a computer, you do not
need to use the included power supply.

Powering-On
Once connected to power using the power supply (HDMI
mode) or to your computer (USB mode), the Duo will
automatically power-on, indicated by the glowing blue
status light. If the Duo does not automatically power-on,
you can power-on the Duo by tapping the power button.
If using an HDMI display, power-on your display and set
the display to the HDMI input Duo is connected to. The
Duo camera image should be displayed.
If connected to a computer via USB, you should be able to
use Duo as a USB camera with any camera-using
software, but we recommend using the HoverCam Flex
software (see next page).
To power-off the Duo, press and hold the power button
until the blue status light turns off (about 3 seconds).

Local Recording
While in HDMI mode, you can record videos or take snapshots and have them
saved directly onto the Duo document camera. To do this, you first must insert
a compatible MicroSD card (maximum 512 GB - not included). To access saved
videos and images, connect the MicroSD card to your computer’s MicroSD
card reader (or by using a USB MicroSD card adapter).
While in USB mode, a MicroSD card is not necessary, as recorded videos and
snapshots are taken through the software are are saved onto your computer.
