The Elmo TT-12 Document Camera is a classroom device that connects to a computer — Mac or PC — and to a projector and offers two categories of use. It lets teachers apply features, such as picture-in-picture, to class material being projected onto a wall, and it allows class sessions to be captured in high-definition video that can be posted online for students and parents.
The features applicable are part of software called Image Mate that comes included with the camera. In addition to picture-in-picture, Image Mate offers split-screen, highlights, masks, color filters, Mosaic, and an annotation tool that works by mouse. For normal projection, class documents need only be placed under the camera eye. But for projection with a feature applied, in addition to what’s under the camera eye, images separately captured can be incorporated, as they would be in picture-in-picture. as is untested MSRP $729
