Turning on Connect and View

You can view your camera’s feed by selecting "Connect and View" from the SuperNova Control Panel "Visual" options (ALT + V, O). Alternatively, press ALT + NUMPAD ENTER.

Set the viewport position

You can change the position of the viewport through the "Connect and View Settings" dialog box (ALT + V, N). You make the changes in the "general" page. The changes you make apply to both the camera and whiteboard viewport.

By default, you press CAPS LOCK + MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON to switch between the viewport and your desktop. If you have a camera and whiteboard viewport active, repeating the hotkey will cycle you through each screen in turn.

If you find the default hotkey is not suitable, please use the available options to assign an alternative hotkey.

Adjusting the image

When the viewport has focus, you can manipulate the image in the following ways:

  • Magnify.
  • Rotate.
  • Lock (freeze).
  • Adjust contrast.
  • Apply a colour scheme.
  • Copy the image to the Windows Clipboard to enable pasting into another app. The image you copy to the Windows Clipboard is the full image, irrespective of the size of magnification you are using. You can also press CAPS LOCK + P to copy the image to the Windows Clipboard.

With SuperNova Magnifier & Speech, you can also:

  • Convert your image to text.
  • Add annotations and highlights to images.
  • Export to Word, PDF, and Google Drive.
