Don’t forget the visualiser
A visualiser is a camera that displays documents or small objects on the big screen. You place your paper, book or item under the camera, and it shows clearly through the projector or display. Many of our medium and larger rooms include a visualiser, and some may have two. Although the brand or model may differ, they all work in the same way. You can project the visualiser image onto the monitor as well as any screens available in the room.Some visualisers allow you to write on the display area using a non‑permanent marker, but not all models support this. Please take care and double‑check before writing, as using the wrong pen could cause damage.
Some models also require you to lift or adjust the lamp/camera arm. Please take care when lifting or repositioning the visualiser, as some units can be heavy.
Tips
-
Place your document or object directly under the camera for the clearest image.
-
Use the zoom and focus controls if available.
-
Check whether the visualiser supports writing with a non‑permanent marker before doing so.
-
Lift or adjust the camera arm carefully, as some models are heavier than expected.
