Question

Webcams for documents

I'm looking for suggestions for a document webcam that works well with Connect.  In the past I've used some Logitech webcams mounted to a tripod boom, and recently switched to an IPEVO ZiggyHD which takes up less space.  The Logitech webcam software allows you to view the camera image and make any adjustments (zoom, exposure, focus, etc.) while the camera is live in the meeting.  The IPEVO software only lets you adjust the focus and exposure while the camera is live, and it doesn't show the camera image.  For lighting I use a 10W LED desk lamp.  Text is clear when looking at the video through the camera software, but when viewed through a meeting, the smaller printed text is barely legible.  Maybe this is due to video limitations of the meeting, and not the camera.  Is it possible to get better resolution video for document viewing using a webcam?

Thx, Craig

Do you need to show hard copies or can you show electronic versions from

your screen?

We do trainings of our products which contain a lot of printed materials, not just books, so it is much faster to flip pages and switch between different materials under the camera.  We do use electronic copies for some documents, for example PDFs that are delivered on a CD, but the webcam is a must for demonstrating most of our material.
