The manufacturer (LVI) recommends using an Intel-based Chromebook together with a MagniLink camera since they have noticed compatibility problems with ARM-based Chromebooks.

A USB 3.0 Y may be needed to supply sufficient power to the MagniLink camera system.  A USB Y cable permits the use of 2 USB ports to drive a MagniLink camera system.

The manufacturer has tested the software on a number of Intel-based Chromebooks without problems, but there is no guarantee that the system will work with all Chromebooks that follow the specifications.  LVI recommends testing the software with the Chromebook where the system is to be used, in order to ensure compatibility.  Better-performing computers will facilitate better camera performance.

"Working with NELVB has been a truly positive experience. I first connected with Scott over a decade ago to support one of my students, and his involvement made a lasting impact on both the student and their family. Since then, he’s continued to provide valuable support through demos and programs. It’s always been about what’s best for the kids, and that’s what matters most to me."
