SMART Document Camera for Business - SDC-650

Product Overview

The SMART Document Camera 650 (SDC-650) is a 4K Ultra HD visualizer designed for business and education environments where physical objects, documents, lab specimens, and 3D items need to be shared with a class, meeting room, or video conference. The 13-megapixel sensor captures up to 4K at 60 fps with 10x optical and 23x digital zoom, delivering a 230x total zoom range. Fully UVC-compliant, it functions as a high-quality webcam when connected via USB to SMART Board displays or any computer, maintaining display continuity during video conferencing sessions. An internal Li-ion battery provides up to 2 hours of untethered, wireless streaming operation.

Product Description

The SDC-650 addresses the gap that standard webcams and screen-share workflows leave open: the ability to show physical objects with sufficient resolution and zoom to be useful in a professional or educational context. A biology teacher demonstrating a specimen under a microscope, an engineer reviewing a physical prototype, a financial analyst marking up a printed document — all benefit from a document camera that captures 4K video and zooms 230x without loss of sharpness. The SDC-650 connects via USB for wired use as a UVC-compliant camera, works directly with SMART Notebook 20.1 and the dedicated SMART Document Camera 650 software for annotation, freeze-frame, image rotation, and recording, and also streams wirelessly over Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (dual-band 2.4/5 GHz) using Miracast, P2P, or Wi-Fi connection modes. HDMI output supports direct connection to a display for standalone AV use without a computer. The camera head rotates 0–90° and image rotation software adds 0–180° of additional rotation for overhead or side-angle capture. Built-in LED illumination, automatic focus, white balance, and exposure settings reduce setup time. The 1/3.2" CMOS sensor supports six image modes (Normal, High Frame, High Quality, Microscope, Infinity, Macro) and three effects (Black and White, Negative, Color). Image and video recording to USB storage is supported. A VESA 75×75 mm mounting pattern enables integration with compatible mounts. A 5-year limited equipment warranty reflects SMART's confidence in the product's commercial durability.
