ClassTech, Document Camera Set Ups for Virtual Instruction

To ensure remote learners can view the document camera content, you must use the Elmo Interactive Toolbox on the Room PC. If you select the Document Camera as the source alone, virtual participants will not be able to see the content. Launch the Elmo Interactive Toolbox from the program menu, and when sharing your desktop during Zoom or Teams, you can select the document camera content. This ensures that both in-person and remote viewers can see what you're sharing.

Elmo Interactive Toolbox (EIT) Quick Start

• Open the Utilities folder on the desktop and click on Elmo Interactive Toolbox.
• When the Document Camera is connected, EIT will start in the Document Camera mode, otherwise it will start in the Whiteboard mode.
• EIT stays in full screen, but selecting the PC Operation button (mouse icon) on the outermost ring switches to the PC to allow for access to other application windows, like Zoom.
• To exit, press the red X on the side toolbar, select Yes when prompted (if it has disappeared, simply move the cursor over the area to make it reappear).

Concerning Lecture Capture

In a room without lecture capture the document cameras will be plugged into the USB port on the PC if possible.

If the room has lecture capture the document camera is routed to the switcher and needs to stay that way for the lecture capture to record it.
