Smart Technologies has launched the Document Camera 330 to enable teachers to display and capture physical content on their Smart Board interactive whiteboards and other Smart products. Like the earlier Smart Document Camera 280, the 330 is fully integrated with Smart Notebook collaborative learning software and enables teachers to capture static images within their Notebook lesson activities.
Teachers can display objects, manipulate the captured images in the Smart Notebook lesson, and then save the images to the Smart Notebook Gallery for later use and review. Teachers and students can use digital ink to write over images directly within a Notebook page.
A new capture button on the Document Camera enables teachers to instantly capture images to a Notebook file. Because users can control the Document Camera directly from Notebook software, there is no need to leave a Notebook lesson activity and open another application or to become familiar with additional software, saving class and preparation time.
The Document Camera 330 also features a new design that allows it to fold flat, making it easy to share between classrooms and store when not in use. Like the earlier Document Camera 280, the 330 integrates with the SmartBoard interactive whiteboard, Smart Table interactive learning centre, Smart Slate wireless slate and Smart Podium interactive pen display.
The Document Camera 330 connects with the classroom computer via a USB port, weighs 3.5kg, and features a maximum frame rate of 30 fps. It has 5.2x optical zoom and 8.0x digital zoom, and output resolutions of SXGA, WXGA, 720p and XGA.
The suggested list price for the Document Camera 330 is £419 in the United Kingdom.
