Document CameraDocument Camera

What is it?What is it?Our document camera is basically an overhead projector with a mounted video camera that projects an image of the object on a large projector screen.

What can it do?What can it do?The camera can display many different kinds of objects such as paper, transparencies, negatives and 3-dimensional objects such as a cell phone or keys. Because of the camera’s powerful zoom ability, it can even display microscopic images. When hooked up to a laptop computer it can display the laptop’s screen image (great for Microsoft PowerPoint presentations).

In an over-simplified explanation, the TSA is a special flat screen monitor that you draw on using only your finger.

What can you do with it?What can you do with it?

By dragging your finger across the screen you can create virtually endless shapes such as lines and circles. Arrows can be created by tapping the screen. You do this over the displayed image, thus annotating the image.

Why do I have to Notify the CourtWhy do I have to Notify the Courtto Use the Presentation Resources?to Use the Presentation Resources?

Notifying the Court is very important for three reasons:

1. Reserve ResourcesEnsures the equipment requested will be available and in good working order on that date;

2. Setup / Test out / TrainTraining is required when using a laptop computer at the Court for the first time. This will test compatibility with our equipment. If you’ve used a computer with your presentation before, and are doing so again, you still need to notify the Court each time. Training is not necessary for using the document camera because of its ease of use, but it is certainly not discouraged;

3. Assistance Readily On-Hand

Notification enables the Court computer support person to plan accordingly to be present in the courtroom at the time of the case to provide assistance if needed for a smooth, trouble-free setup.
