The
ELMO document camera is a portable visual presentation unit capable of capturing
all types of presentation materials. Text, photos, drawings and three dimensional
objects can be displayed on a TV monitor or video projector in full color.
The zoom lens can clearly display items as small as the date on a dime.
The ELMO document camera has two built in lights to illuminate the objects being
presented, and a base light that illuminates slides and transparencies from beneath.
