Full specifications Datasheet Compare alternatives

The joint-free gooseneck arm gives a 360-degree viewing angle. Images can be rotated 90 / 180 / 270 degrees and flipped or mirrored, and the shooting area is 420 x 316 mm.

HDMI pass-through is active up to 2160p 60 Hz, so a PC image can be passed straight to the display. With Lumens' PC-free solution, annotation and menu settings can be driven directly with a USB mouse, and one button captures, records and plays back the lecture material. External storage is a USB flash drive up to 256 GB.

Lumens publishes the DC172 in two colours: red and black. The black unit is order code DC172B and the red unit is order code DC172.
