Using the Lumens DC130 Document Camera
Connection
Once installed, the basic connection setup should already be done for you. When set up correctly, you should be able to
use programs on your computer AND project from the document camera at the same time. If this doesn’t work (or if your
document camera is not yet connected), please use the diagram below as your guide. The video signal (VGA) cables run
from the computer to the input on the splitter box first. From there, the splitter splits the video signal in two:
1) One cable goes through the document camera and on to the LCD projector.
(Into the document camera at the VGA IN port, and then out to the wall plate from the VGA OUT port).
2) The other cable goes from the splitter directly to your computer monitor.
Use a VGA cable to connect all
