Understanding Camera and PC modes
You can use your document camera in Camera or Computer Pass-Through (PC) mode. Each mode enables
you to do different things and requires a specific connection to a display, projector, or computer.
Camera mode
In Camera mode, you can view live images captured by the document camera:
lIn SMARTNotebook software using the USBconnection
lIn SMART Document Camera software using the USBor WiFI connection
lOn a display or projector using the HDMIout connection or Miracast (if the display or projector
supports it)
Computer Pass-Through (PC) mode
PC mode enables you to view your computer’s desktop on a connected display or projector. In this mode,
the document camera acts as a pass-through device between the computer and the display or projector.
To use this mode, connect an HDMI cable to your computer and then to the HDMIIN port on the document
camera, then connect a second HDMIcable from the document camera’s HDMIOUTport to a display or
projector.
NOTES
lThe Capture button on the document camera’s control panel has no effect in PC mode.
lIn PC mode, you can view the document camera live image only in SMART Notebook software.
