Help with the super docucam please!
I've been wanting to get familiar with the docucam for a while, had many thoughts about how I could use it and recently have heard so many people talk about how fabulous it is, scoring it 11/10, so I've just spent some time trying to set it up. I'm not doing very well! I've followed the laminated instructions very carefully. The problem seems to be that when I press the "INPUT" button on the projector the "S-Video" setting isn't showing. I've closed it all down, checked all the lead are right, reread the instructions, turned it on again and tried again but no joy. There may be a simple answer, any ideas?!

I know this is a really silly point, Lizzie, but you have remembered to switch it on (the docucam I mean) haven't you?
Don't ask me why this is the first thing to spring to mind ;-)

Yes, the docucam was definitely switched on. I'm going to give it another try soon, I so need to be able to use this equipment as I can see how very useful it is.
Sorry, Lizzie...as you can tell from my answer, I left it switched off once and was baffled as to why it wouldn't work!
Is the S video screen coming up blank (as one of the toggled options) or simply not coming up at all?
I am a practicing teacher and understand the benefits technology brings to learning as personal development tool or teach training aid. Using digital recording in the form of film or pictures provides good impartial evidence to the user. The main thing I have seen in schools, which blocks progression or limits development is the confidence and competence in using the equipment. It is important to address these issues by investing in good initial training of how to use the equipment. Working out how to do things by guess work and reading written instructions is a time consuming and often frustrating activity. Good quality training backed up with support allows the equipment to be used creatively and confidently.
