What is a Visualiser?
"Seeing is Believing!" as we all know! In Education, Training and Corporate applications 40% of all people need to be able to see to understand and learn. A Visualiser from AVerMedia has the ability to connect to virtually any projector, interactive whiteboard, PC monitor or TV (LCD / Plasma) to provide a striking visual element to teaching and learning, presentations and much, much more .
A visualiser captures images of text, 3D objects, transparencies and microscope slides and just about anything else you can think of. Instantly, you can show images to your audience, or record and save images to be used or recalled later.
AVerMedia Visualisers have a powerful zoom, focus (manual or auto), and adjustable exposure. A light module helps bring subjects to life in low light conditions.when the room is poorly lit. Various output connections such as DVI, VGA, s-video and composite gives users the ability to display documents, 3-D objects, microscopic images, x-rays, negatives and photos on a large screen TV, monitor or projector.
Important features of a visualiser
The following are important points to consider when selecting a Visualiser, but most importantly, take time to think how you intend to use your
Visualiser and how it will benefit your students:-
Camera Quality
The more pixels in your camera, the more defined your image will appear. Chose an AVerMedia Visualiser with a 5 mega pixel camera for the clearest image.
Software Functionality
Software allows you to maximise the potential of the Visualiser in your classroom.
All of our Visualisers come with user friendly software that is compatible with your existing interactive whiteboard software and is TWAIN compliant for use with programs such as Word or PowerPoint.
Ease of Use
Our Visualisers are simple to use. They all have user friendly control panels, as well as remote controls for quick, easy access of your favourite features.
Zoom
Zoom is a great feature for getting close up with objects and text. AVerMedia Visualisers not only offer high powered zooms, but some models come with gooseneck arms, allowing you to get even closer to your subject!
Where can I use a Visualiser?
Virtually anywhere! Visualisers are flexible, easy to use and install, being suitable for education, corporate, training and av hire applications.
