comfortable use and operation. Taking images with the USBCam2 integrated capture
button makes video frame capture a simple one-pushbutton step. Bright, built-in LEDs

Full motion video, full color depth, and VGA resolution quality with no
compression artifacts

Plugs directly into your computer, no separate power supply required, and

grabbing" video card

may benefit from the addition of video images in intraoral dental examinations.

1.3. System Description

The USBCam2 system hardware consists of the following components: USBCam2
Handpiece and Holder, USB 2.0 Cable, and Camera Sheaths. The USBCam2 is connected
by USB 2.0 type A-B cable to a compatible PC workstation (running Windows XP or
Windows 2000), which also provides the power source for the device. To turn on the
USBCam2, press the Power button located near the base of the handpiece, close to the
USB connector; pressing the button a second time turns the USBCam2 off (Figure 1).
The holder for the USBCam2 serves as storage for the device when not in use and can be
installed in a variety of chair-side or adjacent surface options, providing quick access as
well as protection from accidental damage. The holder also turns off the camera
automatically when the handpiece is stored. When the handpiece is removed, the camera is
turned on automatically and is ready for use.
