Chapter 4: Using ZoomCam Speech on a
screen
It is recommended to combine the ZoomCam Speech with a screen with built-in speakers. To use the
ZoomCam Speech with a screen, connect the ZoomCam Speech to the screen with an HDMI cable. The
ZoomCam Speech is compatible with a digital display that has a HDMI or DVIconnection. A HDMI-HDMI
cable is supplied with the ZoomCam Speech. For a screen with a different connection you need a different
cable (not included).
Connect the HDMI cable. Also connect a power supply. You can connect the supplied USB-C adapter to
the wall socket or you can use the USB-C - USB-A cable to power the ZoomCam Speech through the
screen. Note: not every screen has a USB port with power or sufficient power.
To display the image on the screen, select the correct source on the screen.
Only screens with built-in speakers provide sound. To connect headphones or external speakers, refer to
chapter 3: Headphone and external speakers.
Chapter 5: Using ZoomCam Speech on a
computer or tablet
To use the ZoomCam Speech with a computer or tablet, connect the ZoomCam Speech via a USB cable.
We recommend using a USB 3, USB-C port. If this is not available, you can also use a regular USB 3
(recommended for better performance) or USB 2, USB-A port. With a USB-A port it may be that there is
insufficient power. In this case, connect a second USB cable, the power supply or an external battery.
By connecting the device, the ZoomCam Speech is automatically configured on the operating system.
IMAGE SPEED AND RESOLUTION
The ZoomCam Speech image is available as "ZoomCam Speech USB Video Stream". You can find it in the
list of available cameras.
The ZoomCam Speech has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a frame rate of 60 frames per second. You can
achieve this speed with a USB 3 connection.
The ZoomCam Speech automatically reduces its frame rate when the connection is not optimal. As a
solution, you can:
•Decreasethe resolution in the viewer. The frame rate will be increased automatically.
•Use a USB 3 cable.
•Use a computer / tablet with a USB 3 port.
•Use a high-performance computer.
•Use a high-performance program to displaythe images.

panel.
Hot key: ALT + NUMPAD ENTER (computer) or LEFT SHIFT + CAPS LOCK + 0 (laptop).
When you turn on "Connect and View" a portion of the screen begins to show the image from the camera or
whiteboard. This area is called the Viewer. You can change the position of the Viewer on the screen and
you can use the Viewer Toolbar to adjust the size, colour and contrast of the image to make it easier to
see.
Selecting the camera
In the "Visual" option, open the "Connect and View" submenu and choose "Settings". The "Connect and View
Settings" dialog box opens showing the "Camera" settings.

KOBA Vision ZoomCam Speech 18
•Select the ZoomCam Speech from the
"Devices" list.
•Check Use Camera Optical Zoom. This means
that SuperNova can control the magnification of
the camera, which improves image quality.
•Check Use camera coulor change. This means
that SuperNova can control the coulors of the
camera, which improves image quality.
•TIP: Under the Settings button you can set the
resolution. We recommend selecting 1920 x
1080, 60 fps. If the picture is slow, you can lower
the resolution.
•Choose OK button.
Adjusting the viewer position and size
By default, the Viewer appears on the top half of the screen. You can change the position and size of the Viewer
through the "Connect and View" settings in the SuperNova Control Panel. You can dock the viewer to the top,
bottom, left or right side of the screen and the Viewer can be set to fill 80%, 50% or 20% of the screen area.
You can also set the Viewer to "Full Screen". While in Full Screen Mode, you can continue to use CAPS LOCK +
MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON to switch between the Viewer and the desktop.
Switching between the Viewer and the desktop
To access the Viewer toolbar and to make adjustments to the image requires you to place the focus in the
Viewer area.
You can switch between the Viewer and the desktop by pressing CAPS LOCK + MIDDLE MOUSE
BUTTON. If you have both an active camera and whiteboard connection then pressing CAPS LOCK +
MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON cycles you between camera, whiteboard and desktop.
Magnification
Youcanchangethe sizeoftheimageintheViewerbyusingthemagnificationbuttons inthe Viewer
Toolbar. If you are using a touchscreen device, you can also change magnification by doing a 2
finger pinchor 2 finger stretch.
You can also use the following hot keys:
Zoom in: LEFT CONTROL+ NUMPAD PLUS or CAPS LOCK+ MOUSE WHEEL UP or ALT + EQUALS
Zoom out: LEFT CONTROL + NUMPAD MINUS or CAPS LOCK + MOUSE WHEEL DOWN or ALT + DASH
Always use SuperNova in optical zoom mode. This has the best result.
This icon means you are in optical zoom mode.
Changing the colours of the image
If you are finding viewing the image difficult because of the colours and contrast,then you can use
the Colour Changer button to cycle through a number of different colour schemes.
Locking the image
The Lock Image button lets you freeze the screen on the current image. This allows you to explore
the image in more detail without the possibility of the image changing.
Although available as a Viewer Toolbar button when using a camera, you may find this option
more useful when viewing presentations as it will allow you tofreeze the screen on a particular

KOBA Vision ZoomCam Speech 19
slide rather than relying on the teacher to stop the presentation at that point. When you unlockthe
image the Viewer refreshes the current camera image or shows the current presenter's computer
screen.
Capture image
