Description

Full HD Capture for Sharp Documents and Objects

The ELPDC13 records at a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 at up to 30 frames per second. Small print, diagrams and three-dimensional objects stay legible on a large screen. It also supports SXGA, XGA, WXGA 16:10 and WXGA 16:9, as well as 480p, 720p and 1080p. That range lets you match the output to older projectors as well as modern Full HD displays without extra converters.

Autofocus and 16x Digital Zoom for Close-Up Detail

Autofocus keeps the image sharp when you swap a sheet of paper for a book or a model. You don't have to adjust anything by hand mid-lesson. The 16x digital zoom brings fine details forward, such as a line of text, a component on a circuit board or a specimen in a science class. The Zoom and Freeze functions let you enlarge or hold an image while you move the item underneath.

Presentation Tools: Split Screen, Freeze and SD Card Viewer

Split screen lets you place a live image next to a stored one, which helps when you compare work or show before-and-after results. The SD card viewer opens saved images directly from a memory card, so you can present without a computer. Parallel video output sends the picture to more than one destination at the same time, such as a projector and a monitor.

HDMI, VGA and USB Connections for Any Room

The camera offers an HDMI output and a VGA output for projectors and screens, plus a VGA input so you can switch between the camera and a connected computer. A USB 1.1 Type B port links the visualiser to a PC or Mac. Supported systems are Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Vista, and Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9. There is no Wi-Fi, so all connections are wired.

Built-In Microphone and LED Lighting

The integrated microphone picks up your voice when you record lessons or presentations through a computer. The camera has no speakers, so audio playback needs separate equipment. The LED light source illuminates the work surface, which helps keep the image even in dim rooms. The ELPDC13 also contains an embedded battery. Epson does not list its capacity.

Who the Epson ELPDC13 Suits

This document camera is aimed at teachers, trainers and presenters who regularly show printed material, handwriting or physical objects to a group. Its wired HDMI and VGA outputs fit both newer and older projector setups. The SD card slot and split screen suit lessons that mix live demonstrations with prepared material. The white finish blends into most classroom and office environments.
