Using Markers
Overview
The Annotation Pro features a variety of graphics, called markers, which you place over a video image to draw
attention to or explain details of the image. The markers available include freehand drawing and a variety of pointers.
With the keyboard installed, you can type text, draw straight lines, and anchor a date/time label. You can place any
combination of these markers on the screen, in any combination of available colors. Such a combination of markers
is called a marker overlay. Marker overlays cannot be saved, and once closed cannot be restored.
This section covers marking procedures to follow while making a pre sentation. It is assumed that you have made
set-up selections sometime before your presentation.
Assigning Marker Colors
The color that the active marker displays is the color that the marker will be anchored in. You can anchor markers of
different colors on the overlay.
The colors available during a presentation are based on those activated in the Color Palette menu
.
If the color of the markers does not change from black, the brightness level is too low and must be increased before
selecting the color.
From Any Controller
Activate the Change Color command from your control device.
All markers anchored from this point on will appear in the newly selected color.
NOTE: If the pointer has been disengaged, and the Display Color Change option in the Color Palette Menu has been
activated, a small block of color will briefly appear in the lower right of the screen to help you identify the new
marker color.
