User Manual
1 Basic Characteristics
14300-AF is a multiple interface (HDMI + Wi-Fi + SD card) CMOS camera with autofocus function and it
adopts a high-performance Sony CMOS sensor. HDMI + Wi-Fi are used as the data transfer interface to HDMI
display or computer. When being used in HDMI mode only, the USB port may be used for a wireless mouse
(included standard).
For HDMI output, The AF+ Onboard Intelligent Imaging camera control panel and toolbar are overlaid on
the HDMI screen, and are accessed by USB wireless mouse. In HDMI output, the camera embedded
Auto/Manual focus function can obtain the clear image at ease. No hand rotation of the microscope
Coarse/Fine knob is needed.
For Wi-Fi output, unplug the mouse and plug in the USB Wi-Fi adapter, connect the computer Wi-Fi to
the camera, then the video stream can be transfer to computer with the AF+ Intelligent Imaging Suite. With
AF+ Intelligent Imaging Suite, you can control the camera, process the image as O.C. White's other USB series
camera.

The 14300-AF is a HDMI camera with auto focus function. Through the precise control of the sensor position,
the image can be focused automatically for the stereo or biological microscope. However, this autofocus principle
will destruct the microscope’s imaging conjugate principle and we think only a minor focus adjustment can be
made to keep the image with high quality.
But for the online basic observation, the 14300-AF camera can greatly increase the working efficiency and
eliminate manual focus operations.
