Connect and View
SuperNova Connect and View enables you to connect a HD camera to your computer and project items such as newspapers, magazines, handouts and objects onto your computer screen.
To turn on Connect and View, do one of the following:
- Select the "Connect and View" option from the "visual" menu in the SuperNova Control Panel (ALT + V, O).
- Select the "Connect & View" button from the “Visual” tab of the SuperNova Control Panel.
- Use the assigned keyboard command.
| Function | Desktop - Default NumPad Set | Laptop - Universal Set |
|---|---|---|
| Toggle Connect and View | ALT + NUMPAD ENTER | LEFT SHIFT + CAPS LOCK + 0 |
When you turn on "Connect and View" a portion of your screen shows the feed from the camera.
You can position the camera's output to appear at the top, bottom, left or right side of the screen and set it to fill 80%, 50% or 20% of the screen area. You can also set the camera's output to "Full Screen".
While in each of these different view modes, you can use CAPS LOCK + MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON to switch between the camera's output and your desktop.
When the camera's output 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.
Tip: As a rule of thumb, if a camera states it supports Skype video calls, then you can use it with SuperNova. You can learn more about the recommended hardware on the Dolphin website.
