Belkin Tablet Stage Stand – iPad Document Camera Stand
This stand replaced a document camera that was attached to the computers in the past. However, it does not function in the same way as the document camera did. It is only a stand to hold the iPad on which you can use the camera as a document camera.
Here are steps to use the Belkin stand in a similar way as you might have used a document camera with your iPad:
- Before projecting, turn on DO NOT DISTURB. When you swipe up from the bottom of your iPad screen, tap the moon symbol.
- Lock the device in the landscape mode. Turn on the lock rotation if the mute function is on by going to Settings > General > Location Rotation.
- Set Autolock to Never while doing your presentation but set it back to 15 minutes when you are finished.
- To begin projecting, start AirPlay on your iPad OR connect the adapter and cables to the iPad.
- Put the iPad in the cradle with the camera and front of the iPad facing upwards.
- Zoom in/out using the pinch and expand motions.
- Pressing the green button on the cradle allows the iPad to be released from the stand.
- Aspect ratio should be set to 4:3 – press button #5 on the projector remote to set this.
- The SMART Board functions are not able to be used with this set up.
- The Stage Pro app allows for you to annotate, add images, use writing paper, etc. Place an IT ticket to request this app.
- Taking a picture of what you annotated will allow you to save and upload the image for later use.
