Make a Video with your Elmo Document Camera

From Longview ISD Technology Wiki

You can use the Elmo document camera and the CAD U7 USB Microphone, the black triangular device attached to Elmo, to make a video recording.

Use the videos for playback at an Open House or parent conference or simply to show your students at the end of the year how much they have improved.

Recording the Video

• Turn on the document camera.
• Rotate the camera toward the back of the cart.
• Open the Image Mate Accent software.
• Make sure you see a blue light on both the document camera and the microphone.
• Decide where you want the student(s) to stand. The image that appears on the screen is what will be recorded. You can turn the cart so the camera is facing a white wall or optional background. Experiment!
• Click the white arrow until you see the Recording Tool icon.
• Click the recording tool to start recording.
• Click it again to STOP a recording.

Each time you Stop and Start a recording a video file is created and placed automatically into a folder on the hard drive.

Once you are satisfied with the recording you will simply delete those not needed.
