Epson DC-13 – 1080p HD Document Camera

Product Overview

The Epson DC-13 is a 1080p HD document camera for classrooms and training rooms, capturing books, documents, and 3D objects for live display. A 0.37" CMOS sensor and 16x digital zoom render detail clearly, while HDMI, VGA, and USB outputs connect it to projectors, displays, and computers. The camera captures a large 11.7" x 20.7" area at 30 frames per second, with Freeze and Capture buttons and a built-in microphone for recording audio and video lessons. An included microscope adapter extends it to magnified scientific work.

Product Description

The DC-13 brings HD-quality capture to everyday instruction. Its 0.37" CMOS sensor and 16x digital zoom resolve fine detail on printed pages, lab samples, and 3D objects, and 1080p output keeps that detail intact on a connected projector or display. A large 11.7" x 20.7" capture area accommodates open textbooks and large worksheets without repositioning. Connectivity is flexible: HDMI for high-definition video, VGA in and out for legacy AV chains, and USB Type-B for capture and control through a Windows or Mac computer with the included software. Video runs at 30 frames per second, and Freeze and Capture buttons let an instructor hold or grab an image on demand. The built-in microphone supports one-touch audio and video recording, and captured images can be saved to an SD card or computer. An included microscope adapter, compatible with many standard microscopes, extends the camera to magnified scientific demonstrations. The DC-13 pairs naturally with a classroom projector; see the dual-HDMI PowerLite 119W or PowerLite 118, and browse the full Epson projector lineup for matched display options.
