Mouse-type Devices
Numerous other drawing devices are compatible with the Pointmaker PVI-65
HD/SD-SDI Broadcast Video Marker. They fall into the general categories of
mouse controllers, trackballs, and wireless remote control devices. Boeckeler
Instruments does not supply or sell any of these products. These devices may
be used like a writing utensil to draw, position pointers, or move a cursor by
“dragging” the device across a mouse pad or (in the case of remote controls) in
midair when aimed at the display.
The diagram and definitions listed below are generalizations for how the
device might function connected to the Pointmaker. Refer back to this section,
if needed, for general instructions concerning their use.
Figure 1-8: Mouse Device
There are so many of these types of devices that compatibility is probably best
determined by simply trying the device. If it can be used as a mouse-type
device on a personal computer, it is likely to work with the Pointmaker.
