Setting Up the Document Camera 7
Positioning the Document Camera
Before connecting the document camera, you need to decide where to
place it. Wherever you place it, be sure to follow these guidelines:
■
Place the document camera on a sturdy, level surface.
■
Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the document camera.
■
Make sure the document camera is within 10 feet (3 m) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord, and within 5 feet
(1.5 m) of your output source.
■
With the control panel facing you, place the document camera
directly in front of you. Otherwise, items you place on the stage
may appear upside-down.
Most presenters find it convenient to place the document camera in
front of the audience. This lets the presenter stand in the front of the
room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to
be able to control it.
caution
Do not hold or lift the
document camera by the
camera head or lighting unit
arms, or you may damage
them.
