SuperSolo8 Document Camera
The new SuperSolo8 document camera is the flagship document camera from HoverCam. It is faster, has higher resolution, stunning video quality, and a much more powerful zoom using patented ASR technology. In layman's terms, this is the best HoverCam ever built and it has a large shooting area of 13 x 21 inches. This is one of the largest scan size in the industry. It also ships with powerful new software called Flex10. The new UVC processor chipset and electronic imaging components features deliver ultra-high definition video over SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and the older USB 2.0 standard at 30 frames/second. Solo 8's exciting new features and cutting edge controls have never been seen before in a USB document camera. The Solo 8 is the only camera that can truly deliver the sensor's full 8MP resolution in every video frame, which is equivalent to 4K resolution. The image is resized in real-time to adapt to the screen's display resolution. True 8MP clarity or resolution is being delivered at a 30 frames-per-second speed. Over USB3.0, we deliver uncompressed YUV video @ 30fps. Over USB2.0, the video is lightly compressed MJPEG @ 30fps.

Additional features & benefits
Clarity and Detail in Brilliant 8 MegaPixel Resolution
The advanced BSI sensor used in Solo 8 delivers uncompressed YUV video with 4K clarity, giving you 4x as many pixels than the resolution of a 1080p HDTV. This ultimately means there is no image quality loss. Experience every image 4 times crisper, sharper and clearer, than any other high priced document camera. With Solo 8 the finest details come to life.
Stunning 30fps Full Motion Video
Solo 8 utilizes a new generation of imaging technology called Photon 1.0. For the first time ever, the world will get a document camera that delivers 4x 1080p resolution at full motion frame rate at the same time. This is an unprecedented achievement in USB camera technology. All new generation HoverCams will be equipped with this amazing proprietary technology, allowing you to truly create captivating lag-free video.
World's First USB 3.0 Document Camera
Based on years of research and development, the Photon 1.0 imaging engine brings you the best image and color, the highest resolution and frame rate and all the image processing capability over SuperSpeed USB 3.0. There is no driver to install on Windows or Mac. Over USB 2.0, the Solo 8 will still give you 30fps full motion video with minimal level of compression.
Record Hundreds of Hours of Video
Unlike other stand-alone document cameras, capturing video is not limited to the size of SD cards or on-board storage. Instead of just a few hours of footage, easily record 200 hours in 720p (under 200GB), which can fit onto most hard drives. Quickly transfer straight from the PC to YouTube or other cloud sharing services.
Annotate Over Live Video
HoverCam FlexVIEW comes with a rich set of annotation tools that are often only found in Interactive Whiteboard software. We've also gone beyond annotation over still images, and enabled annotation over live video. This allows you to illustrate points better, to present more clearly and to make your classroom more interactive.
Archive and Organize
FlexVIEW gives you the convenience of a full-featured archive manager. Instantly know where your images and videos are stored. Effortlessly search, tag, group, stack, combine and collate files. Create multiple paged PDF or TIFF files or create various folders to keep class documents and student files organized.
SlingShot into Favorite Programs
Any file created with the Solo 8 can easily be used in any of your favorite programs. Just click the SlingShot button in FlexVIEW to instantly drop your images or videos into Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Evernote, Interactive Whiteboards and more.
Half the Price
We deliver higher performance than our competitors at half the price because we employed smart solutions that replaced expensive optical components with electronic technology and leveraged the full intelligence of computers. The result is lower cost, high performance and better user interface.
