ARKING
This section covers pointing and drawing procedures. The following outline
lists the procedures in the general order that most presenters use them.
• Entering the Marking Mode
• Pointing (with positionable or anchored pointers)
• Drawing
• Typing Text (keyboard installed)
• Framing (keyboard installed)
• Stamping the Date/Time
Entering the Marking Mode
The Pointmaker is in the marking mode by default. The only time it is not in
marking mode is when a menu is displayed. In the Marking mode, the image
from the video source is displayed along with any stored markers. An active
pointer is also displayed, unless it was disabled during setup
(See “Turning the
Active Pointer On/Off” on page 65) .
Pointing
You can move the pointer around the screen, using it to direct the viewer’s
attention without anchoring it. You can also position and anchor several point-
ers on the overlay, giving you the opportunity to point in a more lasting man-
ner on several areas of the image.
Before using or anchoring a pointer, you may want to select a new pointer type
(See “Selecting Pointers” on page 65) . Or you may change the pointer color
(See “Assigning Marker Colors” on page 63) .
From Any Controller
1. Position the pointer anywhere on the video image to direct attention
to an image detail.
Refer to instructions for your particular control device (See “Periph-
eral Devices“ in “Section One: Getting Started” on page 9) .
