1. Introduction to USBCam2 1.1. Purpose USBCam2 (Schick P/N B6305100) is the newest hand-held intraoral camera from Schick Technologies. An effective communication tool, USBCam2 supports streaming video and still frame capture to help dental professionals demonstrate the current condition and posttreatment outcomes of their patients’ dental health. Video frames can be archived with dental exams as permanent records and retrieved for comparison or subsequent review.
A programmable button to Freeze / Take / Unfreeze video is located at the side opposite from the camera LEDs, near the middle of the handpiece (Figure 1). Built-in support for these video functions is provided by compatible software programs such as CDR DICOM for Windows 3.5 and higher, EagleSoft 12.0 and higher, and Patterson Imaging 12.0 and higher. For other custom applications, a programmer’s guide is available.
1.5. Controls on the USBCam2 An illustration of the USBCam2 is shown below in Figure 1. For a description of user controls on the camera, refer to Table 1.

Appendix B. Additional Information B-1. Checking DirectX Version and Video Information When installing your USBCam2, you will be prompted to install the latest version of Microsoft's DirectX files on your system (DirectX 9). We strongly recommend that you install these files as earlier versions of DirectX prior to DirectX 8.1 are not compatible with USBCam2. In the event you experience video problems with USBCam2, please verify that your system has properly installed DirectX version 8.
B-2. Checking Your Video Settings Video settings can affect the display and capture of video images using USBCam2. To help ensure your video images are consistently high quality, some USBCam2 settings are factory set by default. In the event, however, that some settings need to be adjusted, that can be done using options found on the video setting dialog boxes. Refer to the following tables for more information. Table 8.
