2008 Readers’ Choice Top 100 Products
Samsung’s UF-130DX sets itself apart from other document cameras because it includes a built-in AMD processor running Windows CE, which enables users to upload their presentations directly to the digital presenter and make presentations without a PC. The camera displays at 720p HD resolution and captures video at a full 30 frames per second. The UF-130DX is also networkable via Ethernet 10/100 and users can attach any USB keyboard and mouse to access the Internet directly from the document camera. |

“A must have for any 21st century educator”
The Samsung UF-130DX Digital Presenter is a 720i high-definition wide screen document camera with Windows CE built in. In a science class, a teacher could displays a sample of an organism then using the PIP feature of this equipment pull up a web page that display information on that organism. The same could be done in a social studies class. An artifact could be displayed and the Web site on that artifact could be displayed with it. Using the drawing tools the instructor can easily place notations on an image that is being displayed.
Pros: The clarity of images produced by this system is fantastic. You can output to two different displays at the same time, you can do PIP (picture-in-picture) displays. The system has three USB inputs so it can be controlled from a standard keyboard, the controls on the unit or from a remote. The unit comes with built-in drawing tool software.
Cons: Would be nice if the unit had full Windows rather than CE, the cost may be a little high for some K-12 schools. With all the additional features that unit has it requires that the instructor spend some time practicing with the unit before they use it with a class. Other than that there should be no problems with this unit.
Overall Impression: If I had the choice and money were not a question, this is by far the best document camera on the market. All the additional features in this piece of equipment in the hands of a trained instructor would make it invaluable in today’s digital classroom, and a must have for any 21st century educator.
