This chapter provides information on using your document camera and introduces you to the
different camera modes.
Understanding Camera, Computer Pass-Through,
and Playback modes
You can use your document camera in Camera, Computer Pass-Through, or Playback mode. Each
mode enables you to complete different functions and requires a specific connection to either a
display, a projector, or a computer.
Camera mode
In Camera mode, you can view document camera images only in SMARTNotebook software and
SMART Document Camera software.
Camera mode allows connection over a USB and live image output. You can view full-screen
images from your document camera using a projector or high definition display without a
computer.
