SXGA Resolution with Excellent, Crisp Image Quality
Displaying books or objects on a big screen improves student attention, and understanding. The DC211 allows students clear visibility throughout the classroom. With SXGA image output (resolution of 1280x1024 pixels) and a 6x mechanical zoom, the Ladibug DC211 delivers excellent image quality with detailed pictures and crisp text. Books with smaller fonts can be viewed clearly on a screen. In addition, the camera head is mounted on a flexible gooseneck which can be bent to allow a closer look at smaller objects.
Auto Tune and Auto Focus for Best Possible Image Quality
With Lumens unique Auto Tune function, the DC211 adjusts for best possible image by automatically tuning brightness, contrast, color balance, exposure and focus. In addition, with the focus button conveniently located on the camera head, the teacher can easily adjust the camera head position and adjust focus with a single movement.
Easy to Use
Like all Lumens document cameras, the DC211 has been designed with ease of use in mind. Any feature can be started or stopped by clicking a button. The remote control and the unit's physical design allow educators to integrate the camera into their natural teaching style, whether they want to walk around the room or stand next to the unit to control it. The camera's gooseneck-mounted lights and camera solve the problem of a teacher's creativity being limited by the capabilities of the equipment and allow educators to use a broader range of visual examples than ever before.
Flexible Gooseneck Design for Easy Adjustment
The DC series provides a unique gooseneck design that mounts the camera and lamps on separate gooseneck arms to provide ultimate maneuverability and flexibility. With a quick adjustment, teachers can show documents or 3-D teaching materials from every angle, with the desired illumination and without restrictions. The 6x mechanical zoom combined with the maneuverable head lets teachers can zoom in to smaller text or objects.
Internal Memory and Storage for Up to 120 images
With a red Ladibug DC211, educators can easily capture images by clicking the capture button and automatically store them in the unit's internal memory. Saved images can be readily recalled as a slide show or single images. The rotate mode allows users to rotate images, while the Lumens Ladibug software provides annotation capabilities.
Record Videos, Capture Images and Annotate with queue" software
The Lumens software supports both the Microsoft Windows® and Mac OSX platforms. With the queue software, teachers can easily record videos and capture images to save as files on the hard drive. In addition, teachers can add annotations directly onto live or saved images. Live images with annotations can also be saved with the push of a button.
Slide-Show Capabilities
After capturing and storing images onto the DC211 internal memory, teachers can choose to display desired images (or all available images) as a slide show. This feature can be stopped or started with a single click of the Slide Show button.
VGA and USB Connections
With a VGA output, the DC211 can be connected to an external monitor and a projector. An analog output for television and a USB 2.0 high speed output for PCs, Macs and interactive whiteboards further extend the connection options.
Auto Erase and Anti-Theft
The DC211 offers an automatic wipe clean option, called Auto Erase, which allows users to choose to automatically erase internal memory after each use. For schools that share equipment, this ensures a clean start for each user. A Kensington Lock Slot discourages theft.
Credit Card-Sized Remote Control
The Lumens Ladibug remote control provides access to the most-used features and gives educators the option of operating the presenter from a distance if they prefer to walk around the room or need to attend to students while continuing the lecture.
Five-Year Unlimited Warranty and Advanced Replacement
Lumens offers the most comprehensive, unlimited five-year manufacturer's warranty, which includes all parts and labor.
