Connecting Document Cameras; Using A Switch Box - Epson BrightLink 475Wi Connection Manual

Connecting Document Cameras

Document cameras have several different types of ports for connecting to the projector.
For cameras that have USB ports, such as the EPSON DC-11 and EPSON DC-06, the best
way to connect is directly to the computer's USB port, as shown below. This will enable full
interactivity and dual pen support (using Easy Interactive Tools software) on the document
camera image.
To projector
Although you can connect the EPSON DC-06 directly to the projector's port using a
USB-A
USB cable, this will provide only limited interactivity (using the built-in interactive toolbar).
For document cameras that do not have a USB port, you can connect to the projector's VGA
( ) or port. This will allow use of the projector's built-in interactive toolbar

on the camera image.
If the document camera has USB and VGA connectors, you can connect a USB cable from
the camera to the computer and a VGA cable directly to the projector. This will provide two
ways of connecting. The USB connection can be used when the computer is on, and the VGA
connection can be used when the teacher wants to work with the document camera without
turning on the computer.

Using a Switch Box

You can use a switch box or control box to connect various video inputs to the projector.
However, the primary computer should always be connected directly to the projector with a
USB cable for interactivity and another cable for video output (VGA, HDMI, or Ethernet).
This allows maximum interactivity and dual pen support (using Easy Interactive Tools
software) for the computer. The projector's built-in toolbar will be available for images from
equipment connected through the switch box.
