ELMO

Dedication to quality, innovation and service is paramount at ELMO and has been for over 90 years. By developing unique highly sought after technologies, whether it’s document cameras, audio systems, classroom carts or even wearable cameras. ELMO has made a positive contribution to our customers from the Education and Government to the Business and Legal Markets.

ELMO was founded in April 1921 in Japan. From its beginnings, the company was focused on developing visual technologies at the cutting edge of what was possible at the time. This began around 1927 when ELMO released the first ever 16mm cine-projector. By 1984 the company released its first digital CCD video camera, intended for security applications. Soon after this breakthrough, ELMO revealed its first ever document camera to the market in 1988. This camera was a basic version of the document cameras of today. Current document cameras from ELMO are compatible with most projectors, monitors, and displays. By connecting the document camera to a large display, teachers are able to display just about anything to a class in high resolution color, from a piece of paper to a piano to even a person. ELMO document cameras also allow for increased flexibility via point, annotate, and zoom functions. One can also easily get different views from an ELMO document camera by simply turning the camera head arm. ELMO document cameras have many benefits, but the primary one has to be ease of use. The simplicity of ELMO document cameras allows anyone to quickly set one up and begin using it in large presentations to small classroom environments.
 

Education market- ELMO USA has been catering to the Education market for over 45 years, focusing primarily on K-12 and Higher Education. We have combined years of knowledge and research in order to manufacture only the best education technology products suitable for classroom needs.

Business and Legal market - ELMO has been in the Business and Legal market since the introduction of the first overhead projector in 1969. Since then ELMO has come a long way with document cameras catered to this specific market, meeting consumer needs with smaller and much more portable cameras for people ready to present on the go. The ELMO document camera has also been part of many big name court cases, such as the O.J. Simpson trial.

Government market - ELMO has also been catering to the Government since the introduction of the first overhead projector. Since then ELMO has been able to push further into this market with the establishment of our CCTV Cameras and now our higher end document cameras. ELMO has document cameras in many government agencies such as, NASA, the FBI and the CIA.

Education is changing rapidly. More and more schools are shifting away from the traditional lecture style of instruction and toward a more active model of learning, in which students are collaborating on projects in small groups and then sharing their work with the class.
A collaborative approach to learning has significant benefits for both students and teachers. But it also creates a number of hurdles for teachers and EdTech leaders.

ELMO has developed a new collaboration solution that addresses classroom collaboration concerns. ELMO's Huddle Space, is a hardware-based product that is inexpensive, easy to use, and works with any device.

Essentially, Huddle Space is an eight-input HDMI switcher. Up to eight students at a time can plug their devices into the Huddle Space using an HDMI cable, and the signal is transmitted over an HDMI output cable to a projector or a flat-panel display. What makes the product truly unique is that it can record not only what is being shown on the main display, but also the conversation that is happening around it. This creates a digital record of the collaboration that teachers can refer back to later for assessment.

There are three versions of the Huddle Space. The basic unit, the HS-G1, is intended for K-12 schools. The more advanced units include a wireless remote control for switching from one presentation to another, along with a separate audio input that can bypass the conferencing microphone. The teacher can plug in a wireless lavalier microphone into this audio jack, in order to achieve a higher-quality recording for lecture capturing capability.
 
The Huddle Space also includes an optional battery pack, so it doesn’t have to be tethered to an AC outlet. Buying a separate wireless HMDI connector would allow schools to cut all cords and place the unit anywhere inside a classroom.
