I can't speak to document cameras, but I can speak to whiteboards. I recently took some training where the instructor had a device called an "ebeam capture". It's a little flying-saucer looking thing that goes in the corner of a whiteboard. The markers go inside sleeves. The unit connects via USB or bluetooth to your laptop. You configure the software by tapping on the corners of the whiteboard opposite the mounted device. Then, you have a window on your desktop that records the written marker-strokes as you write. It was a nifty device. I have no idea how expensive it is, but anything you write is recorded and can be saved as an image. You can share the whiteboard window via webex or any other sharing software over the net. -Adam _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
