Plenty of Internal Memory and Storage
With the Lumens DC166, educators can easily capture images – by clicking
the capture button – and automatically store them on the unit’s
internal memory. Saved images can be readily recalled as a slide
show or as single images.
In addition to the internal memory which stores 120 images, the Lumens
DC166 offers an external memory option, allowing users to store
additional images on an SD Card. The DC166 is compatible with SD
cards up to 2GB and SDHC cards up to 32GB. After storing, teachers
can recall the images and videos as often they want. The Flip mode
allows users to rotate images, while Lumens queue™ software lets
them to make annotations on the images.
Stand-Alone Video Recording
Educators can record videos directly onto an SD card, without a computer or
extra software, by simply pressing the record button on the remote. Videos
are automatically stored on the SD card and can be played back as often as
necessary.
Record Videos, Capture Images and Annotate with queue™
software
The Lumens queue™ 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 be saved with the push of a button.
Slide Show capabilities and Lumens FastSlide™
Technology
After capturing and storing images onto the Lumens DC166 internal memory, teachers
can choose to display desired images (or all available images) as a slide
show. This feature can be stopped or started by pressing the “Slide Show”
button. With Lumens FastSlide™ technology, the Lumens DC166 features industry-best
slide loading speed – up to 300 slides per minute. Educators can be assured
that they will capture students’ attention without losing valuable teaching
time to slides loading.
The five slide show transition effects allow users to quickly and easily
create a professional presentation.
Image and Time-lapse Capture
Teachers can use the Lumens DC166 Ladibug as a digital camera to capture still
images from materials, books, and illustrations for playback during class or
to document class activities. The Picture-by-Picture function presents
stored images and live images in a split screen to allow teachers to present
images for before and after comparison.
Time-lapse photography capabilities allow educators to compress time by
capturing images of continuous movement at a pre-set interval. Teachers can
then play back as a slide show and let students observe a flower opening or
a silk worm coming out of its cocoon.
Pan/Book Mode
With this feature, teachers can automatically zoom from full page mode to
showing only the top-half or bottom-half of the page with a click of a
button, without re-positioning the documents.
VGA and USB Connections
With a VGA pass-through plus a VGA output, the Lumens DC166 can be connected to an
external monitor and a projector simultaneously. An analog output for
television and a USB 2.0 output for PCs, Macs and interactive whiteboards
further extend the connection options.
USB 2.0 High-Speed TWAIN, WIA and Linux Support
Support for USB 2.0, TWAIN and WIA allow the camera to readily function with
interactive white boards and other classroom equipment. The support of Linux
enables educators to connect the camera to Linux applications, such as Xsane,
Skype, and GStreamer.
Dynamic Noise Reduction™ Technology
Many DLP projectors come with a lot of image noise when you connect them to
a document camera. The Lumens Dynamic Noise Reduction™ technology removes
image noise.
Auto Erase and Anti-theft
The Lumens DC166 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. The provided Kensington Lock Slot protects against theft without the
inconvenience of locking equipment away after each use.
Credit Card-Sized Remote Control
Lumens’ handy remote control, which provides access to all of the unit’s
most-used features, gives educators the option of operating the presenter
from a distance if they prefer to walk around the room or need to take care
of students while continuing the lecture.
Five-Year Unlimited Warranty and Advanced Replacement
Lumens is the only manufacturer to offer a five-year unlimited warranty on
the camera as well as all parts and labor. In addition, districts and
teachers can order spare parts in advance during the warranty period to
avoid maintenance hassles.
