Visualise UHD detail for easy learning

When it comes to teaching people, it’s often the detail that counts and more is always better. Being able to share your ideas and knowledge with a large audience can be difficult but a huge benefit.

With the Optoma DC554, you simply position items under the camera, connect it to a projector and show everything on the big screen live as it happens. Information becomes clear and everyone shares your vision.

The DC554 features a 13-megapixel sensor, 17x optical zoom and up to 30 frames-per-second video (at full resolution) for stunning image quality and performance allowing you to see detail often not visible to the human eye. Take photos or video using the camera functions and include them in future presentation – it’s all so easy.

Create more engaging lesson content by easily capturing images, video and audio with the DC554 Document Camera.

You can even take a video of a science experiment with the document camera, save it on your PC/Laptop via USB or save to a SD Card and use it in your next class and students can record their demonstrations during presentations for later review.

The DC554 is powerful, robust and full of useful features that will revolutionise any classroom lessons or meeting room presentations.

Sometimes you need a bit of extra illumination. The DC554 uses eco-friendly; low power LED lamps which are cool to the touch and mercury free, however, due to the excellent sensitivity of the camera the lamp is seldom required. The LED light has 3 light levels for even more flexibility.

Picture-in-picture, capture, freeze, rotation and flip

With the DC554 you have ultimate control. Want to freeze something under the camera whilst handing out the original, or perhaps compare items using the Picture-in-Picture “PIP” so that comparisons can be made between one item and another.
