Can this be used without a projector to directly capture text from a whiteboard?

I'm not sure. I've always used it with a projector to mark up presentations. It works with a program directly on your computer so it might capture what you write.

This device is able to connect to any pc, video recorder, etc. as long as you have the correct connectors (not included). When projecting from a laptop, the picture is very pixelated. Text is virtually unreadable & increasingly gets worse as the projection is enlarged.

Hey Pokey,Yes, you need a computer, on which you load the pretty simple IPEVO software and you run it thru any kind of standard LCD projector that you might use for your powerpoints or other images. Many schools have placed these in classrooms so teachers can project materials, and most of us have laptops -- so in that situation, this little device is an amazing value. It replaces that overhead because you can project anything without making them in to slides. Its just a little video camera is all.

Very feasible, the image shows up pretty clearly from behind, so I think you would be able to do it with a strong enough projector. Ours is a little under 1500 lumens to give you an idea.

I do not know if it can do so by directly inserting the streamer into the USB port of the projector. I've only used streaming services with it through a laptop.

Not easily. I have not used the device since I bought it for a single project. I found it to be cumbersome and the results were unusable.

This is simply a "mouse" that you can use on a flat surface. The projector provides the picture. No projector... no picture!

Some possible uses I can think of... if you have your presentation on a memory stick you can plug in to the projector. you might be able to use it to plug in a "presentation clicker" not sure on this put possibilities.

No, not unless you share your screen/presentation with something like a Chromecast or Apple TV. The projector allows you to plug in a USB Flash Drive, a micro SD card, or use the built in 2GB flash storage to transfer your presentation to the projector and then the projector will render and control the presentation by itself. You can plug the projector into your laptop via HDMI or VGA, but in order to "beam" over the presentation from a laptop you would need a receiver of some type.

No - with just the projector. However,t here are third party devices that can help you with this.

yes, but the screen size depends on the distance of projection. The classroom can not be too bright.

Hi Barbara, if you wish to display the captured image to a class then you will need a projector. The image from the document camera can be displayed on your pc and shared through Skype, but it does not project. Depending on budget and size of audience I would recommend either the Epson VS220 SVGA 2700 lumens color brightness, 2700 lumens white brightness, HDMI, 3LCD Projector by Epson or the FAVI RioHD-LED-2 Mini Projector. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have further questions. Bill

Since the image would not focus clearly, I would not try to use it, especially for PowerPoint. I could not read any of the text projected.

Yes - this is only the screen - you will need some type of projector to get image on the screen

Yes, you can use it as a projector by hooking it up to a computer. Just note that the brightness (lumens) is not super high, and you have to pull it very far back to get a big picture. But if you are ok with a picture about the size of 60" tv, you can get that from probably 8 feet away in a decently well darkened room. I hope this helps.
