What is a Visualizer?
The WolfVision Visualizer is a very versatile tool.
It will project whatever is placed in its sites: a book
3D manipulatives
a lab experiment
Or even a student talking to the class!

Using a Visualizer as a Scanner
The WolfVision Connectivity Software can be used for capturing still images from a Visualizer and camera and saving them on a PC.
A WolfVision Visualizer has two important advantages over a standard scanner for a computer: It can pick up 3-dimensional objects and scanning can be done in a fraction of a second. This makes the Visualizer a perfect tool for scanning a large number of images very quickly and easily.
Twain and WIA Driver
When installing WolfVision's Connectivity Software a Twain driver (Windows 2000 and XP) or WIA driver (Windows Image Acquisition for Windows Vista) is automatically installed.
"Twain" and "WIA" are standard Windows drivers for scanners. It allows a user to scan a picture from the Visualizer in almost every image processing software without using the WolfVision Connectivity Software.
Twain and WIA drivers can also be used for connecting a Visualizer to an interactive whiteboard (IWB).
Video Capture Driver
The WolfVision Connectivity Software supports the standard "Video Capture Driver" of Windows 2000 and XP, which can be turned on in the preferences window.
You can view, edit and save live images from the Visualizer on your computer in almost every modern video editing software (e.g. Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere etc.) or you can use the live video stream in a video conferencing software like Netmeeting.
Recording Video Files (AVI)
The WolfVision Connectivity Software can record video files and store them in AVI format.It can also be used for "frame by frame" recording in order to record animated video clips.
Connectivity Software can use nearly all codecs (video compressors)
Among the standard Windows codecs WolfVision recommends the "Indeo Video" codec to achieve best results regarding quality and performance. In the Properties the option "quick compress" is recommended.)
Advanced Visualizer Remote Control
The user can choose between two dynamic remote control layouts: a WolfVision layout and a windows toolbar layout.
In the preferences dialog the user can choose which keys he wants to see on the on-screen keypad.
Full Screen Mode
The image of the Visualizer can also be displayed in full size on the computer monitor (without menu bars, task bars or other Windows elements).
Auto Save Function / Timer / Auto Filename
With the Auto Save function images can be saved with just one click on a pre defined key or on the monitor icon.There is also a Timer which can be set to save an image every ... seconds.
Printing Abilities
The Connectivity Software can also be used to quickly print the current image from the Visualizer.
Text in Video / Text in Image User defined text with variable fonts, sizes and styles can be added to still images or video files. It is also possible to add date and time.
