Paired with 16x digital zoom capabilities, capturing the finest details of an object is a breeze.

An impressive 30 frames per second ensures smooth flowing vivid live images and video captures. Demonstrating a detailed activity or task such as a biology dissection to an entire class at once on the big screen has never been so spectacular.
Simplicity of Use
Connect the ELP-DC12 to an Epson projector, and it automatically detects the projector’s native resolution, whether it’s XGA, SXGA, WXGA, 720p or 1080p and optimises output to suit. One touch auto-focus and an easy to understand control panel makes the ELP-DC12 a pleasure to use for teachers and students alike.
Capturing audio along with your video or live footage is simple thanks to the built in microphone. Brightening up the environment is as simple as turning on the incorporated LED lighting system with a single press of a button. Users can even upload footage to popular web sites such as www.youtube.com !
The ELP-DC12 can also function in split screen mode. With this functionality users can capture and display images live, from the on board memory or SD Card/USB sources to add an additional level of creativity to a lesson. For example, a science teacher might choose to display both a list of instructions and a live execution of a science experiment simultaneously, or a music teacher might demonstrate how to play a piece of music with the musical notation in the second window.
The ELP-DC12 also features an adapter which enables users to connect to a broad range of microscopes.
Powerful Storage Capability
A full 1GB of internal memory as well as an SD card slot and ability to read USB memory enables users to capture and store directly to the ELP-DC12. Store images and video to an SD card or USB Stick and use them in presentations at a later date.
