Open the “Flex …” application on the desktop to show the document camera.
In Collaborate you can share camera or share screen/application to show the document camera in a window.
The document camera can be projected by using the application on the Desktop called Flex 11 (note, 11 is the version number and the current icon is green). It’s pointed to by the red arrow in the picture below.
When recording with Panopto (pointed to by green arrow) you want to use the above application and record the screen and do not select the doc camera as a primary source.
With Collaborate you may select the document camera in the Share Camera option (select Hover… as the source) or use the application/screen with the document camera Flex app open.
The document camera has zoom, auto-focus, and flip image controls.
Flip image – middle button on the camera.
Autofocus Lock – bottom left button on the camera.
Troubleshooting
- Image Display - If the image is displayed with an incorrect orientation see the “Flip Image” button above.
- Focus – if the focus continuously shifts then try the Autofocus lock above.
Software Tools

VLC – use this tool to show your DVD’s.

How to’s on several of these tools and how to use them can be found in Harvey in the FRC-Technology Teaching and Learning org.
