General Installation

Connecting the Video Source and Outputs

A video source provides the Pointmaker a video image. 

The Pointmaker incorporates any annotations, then 

outputs the combined annotations and video image to a 

display. Examples of video sources include DVD players, 

computers, cameras, and television sets. Outputs can 

be to projectors, monitors or other display devices. In 

the Pointmaker CR-400, the source can be from HDMI 

or USB.
