desk, or position the camera horizontally
for distance or self-viewing. The flexible
camera view is more than 180º vertically
and horizontally.
Camera positions
The ClearNote HD automatically re-adjusts to its original settings when the
camera is turned from near to distance viewing and back. For example,
when you tilt the camera quickly from a whiteboard to your desktop, your
preferred viewing mode and magnification settings will automatically be
applied. Three sets of settings can be stored: document viewing, distance
viewing and self view / looking behind you.

The position of the camera unit can be adjusted for desktop and distance
viewing. To view objects within 25 cm, position the close-up lens in front of
the camera unit. To view objects at a larger distance, open the close-up
lens so it is no longer in front of the camera.

Optelec ClearNote HD

Text thickness
To improve the readability of the text in high contrast mode, the text
thickness can be adjusted using Control+Shift+Arrow Up and Down.
Auto Contrast
When enabled, the Auto Contrast function will attempt to eliminate
shadows and light spots in the ClearNote HD image. This function can be
helpful in full color mode and in poor light conditions. When one of the semi
color modes are enabled, and in normal light conditions, it is highly
recommended to leave this function off. The hotkey to toggle Auto Contrast
on or off is “c”. By default, Auto Contrast is on in full color mode and off in
semi color mode.

The size of the ClearNote HD window can be adjusted by clicking on the
two window resizing buttons on the Toolbar.
Press “Enter” or “Win+F2” to restore the ClearNote HD window, or to
switch to full screen mode. “Escape” will minimize the ClearNote HD
window.

up” or “Page down” to move the line up or down.

folder to which the images are saved as well as the used prefix can be set

the Settings button (Alt+Space) in the Toolbar and select “Frame Saving
Configuration” from the menu. Here you can set:

- The Image File format

Optelec ClearNote HD
English 17
- The File prefix
- Number format for existing files
Mirror / flip the image
Pressing “Shift+M” allows you to horizontally mirror / flip the video image.
To mirror the image vertically, press “Ctrl+M”. You may choose this
function when you have tilted the camera for self-viewing, because self-
viewing results in an image that is upside down. Alternatively you can
rotate the image by pressing “R”.
Auto Focus on / off
The ClearNote HD features automatic focusing. This
produces a clear image at any time. Turning Auto Focus
off, stops the ClearNote HD from continuously focusing.
This is useful for tasks such as writing, painting or enjoying
craftwork.
To toggle Auto Focus on or off, select the Pencil icon located in the bottom
left corner of the ClearNote HD window. Alternatively, press the pencil
button on the Remote Control or F on the keyboard.
If the Auto Focus is off, you can manually refocus the camera by pressing

split-screen. The ClearNote HD image can be re-sized and positioned
anywhere on your screen. The split screen will be automatically adjusted.

Toolbar.

higher and ZoomText version 10.1 or higher.
