Annotation Pro & Annotation Pro Plus
Assigning Line Styles
You can change line style directly from the key board. You can also change the line style from other devices by
accessing the menu system. When the keyboard is installed, you can only access the menu system from the
keyboard.
When a line style is selected from a marking device, the Annotation Pro keeps track of the style and the device. The
device will draw with that style until a different style is selected. This allows each marking device to have its own line
style. You can have drawn lines of different styles on the overlay. Once you draw the line, or anchor a straight line,
you cannot change that line style. How ever, you can erase or undo the drawing and begin again.
From the Keyboard
1. Activate the Line Style command. A small sample of the active line style will appear briefly in the lower-right hand
corner of the screen.
2. Repeatedly activate the Line Style command until the desired line style appears in the on screen sample. You can
scroll backwards through the line options, by activating the Reverse Toggle command.
3. All lines drawn from this point on will appear in the newly selected line width and style.

4. Select the desired
line thickness
, with or without a drop shadow.
NOTE: Drop shadows are always black, therefore, black lines do not have drop shadows.
5. Exit the menu system. All lines drawn from this point on will appear in the newly selected line width and style.
Entering the Marking Mode
The Annotation Pro 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.
Drawing
You can draw on the Annotation Pro’s overlay simply by beginning to draw. The drawing feature allows you to circle
important parts of the image, write on the image, or underscore particular parts of text. You can draw freehand
curves or straight lines.
