How do I use the classroom’s document camera?

Classrooms equipped with a document camera allow instructors to display non-digital documents (i.e., paper) on the projection screen at the front of the classroom. Document cameras are either ceiling-mounted or are located inside the teaching console. For more specific information pertaining to a particular classroom, please see the online classroom orientation tool.

To use the document camera, you will need to:

  1. Unlock the equipment cabinet
  2. Use the AMX panel to turn on the projector and select “Camera”
  3. Place items on table surface to display
  4. Pan, tilt or zoom using the camera using the controls on the AMX touch panel

The following is a video demonstration on how to use a document camera installed inside the equipment cabinet, on a pull-out shelf.

Alternatively, the following video demonstrates how to use a ceiling-mounted document camera.
