Loading the software
The accompanying disk has essential software for enabling your computer to recognise the visualiser and capture images, both still and moving. This will be done through the USB connecting lead.
The driver for your operating system must be installed before connecting the USB lead.
The set-up wizard will take you through the process.
VideoCap and Genee Toolbar are programs that will give you live camera windows and whiteboard tools on your desktop, allowing you to annotate over them or capture in common image and video formats that can be incorporated into different applications.
