Being pleased with our new IPEVO Ziggy HD document camera, soon to be used for sketching and demos over videoconfing.

IPEVO has raised the bar yet again with Ziggi-HD. With new high-resolution formats, up to 6x zoom, and a powerful 5.0 Megapixel camera, Ziggi-HD delivers stunning real-time HD video for teachers, presenters, and businesspeople — all still at hundreds less than conventional document cameras.
With a 5.0 Megapixel camera, Ziggi-HD is capable of astonishing high-definition clarity and stunning details from as close as 2 inches (5cm) away. From small text, intricate science diagrams, and fine artwork details all the way up to entire A3 sheets, the versatile Ziggi-HD brings your teaching materials to life. Three additional resolutions — up to a whopping 2592 x 1944 pixels — along with a 6x zoom mean there is virtually no limit to the details you can project for everyone to see. Ziggi-HD shares it all.
Ziggi-HD features the same versatility that makes the original Ziggi such a hit with educators and businesspeople. This includes a multi-jointed stand so you can position the camera just where you need it, and a swiveling head so you can get the right orientation. If you haven't used Ziggi, you'll be amazed at just how easy it is to capture what you want.
Customize On-the-Fly with IPEVO Presenter
Ziggi-HD features a completely retooled software application, IPEVO Presenter. With an improved interface and cleaner look, Presenter delivers even more tools to help you get the most out of your camera, including 6x zoom, mirroring, automatic and manual exposure controls, convenient autofocus, and a snapshot review mode.
Go Beyond the VideoQuickly and easily send Ziggi-HD snapshots directly to your Notebook in Evernote, a multifaceted notetaking application. A built-in microphone — perfect for Skype and more — is another of Ziggi-HD's improvements, making Ziggi-HD a complete audio/video solution for distance education and webinars.
Forget that old overhead projector or those expensive, bulky and hard-to-use document cameras. Stunning HD video for your teaching materials doesn't have to cost a fortune. Ziggi-HD makes teaching and presenting more effective, more affordable, and more fun.
