Chapter 4: Using ZoomCam on a computer or
tablet
To use the ZoomCam with a computer or tablet, connect the ZoomCam via a USB cable. We recommend
using a USB 3, USB-C port. If this is not available, you can also use a regular USB 3 (recommended for
better performance) or USB 2, USB-A port. With a USB-A port it may be that there is insufficient power. In
this case, connect a second USB cable, the power supply or an external battery.
By connecting the device, the ZoomCam is automatically configured on the operating system.
IMAGE SPEED AND RESOLUTION
The ZoomCam has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a frame rate of 60 frames per second. You can achieve
this speed with a USB 3 connection.
The ZoomCam automatically reduces its frame rate when the connection is not optimal. As a solution, you
can:
•
Decrease the resolution in the viewer. The frame rate will be increased automatically.
•
Use a USB 3 cable.
•
Use a computer / tablet with a USB 3 port.
•
Use a high-performance computer.
•
Use a high-performance program to display the images.
WINDOWS (LAPTOP, TABLET, DESK COMPUTER)
The ZoomCam works best in combination with a Windows computer or tablet equipped with an USB 3 port,
preferably USB-C. ZoomCam was successfully tested on several devices, but there is no guarantee that the
ZoomCam will function on all devices.
Under Windows, the ZoomCam shows images in various programs.
SuperNova (full screen and split screen)
You can switch on or off "Connect and View"
panel.
Hot key: ALT + NUMPAD ENTER (computer) or LEFT SHIFT + CAPS LOCK + 0 (laptop).
When you turn on "Connect and View" a portion of the screen begins to show the image from the camera or
whiteboard. This area is called the Viewer. You can change the position of the Viewer on the screen and
you can use the Viewer Toolbar to adjust the size, colour and contrast of the image to make it easier to
see.
Selecting the camera
In the "Visual" option, open the "Connect and View" submenu and choose "Settings". The "Connect and View
Settings" dialog box opens showing the "Camera" settings.
•
Select the ZoomCam from the "Devices" list.
•
Check Use Camera Optical Zoom. This means that SuperNova can control the magnification of the camera,
which improves image quality.
