Annotation
This section of the manual discusses on screen annotation and is in four sections:
• Touch Panel Configuration
• USB Port Connections
• Touchscreen Calibration
• Annotation Overview
The Annotator 300 is a high performance, hardware-based annotation processor for video
and computer-video sources. Annotating over motion video or still images is possible
using common touchscreen panels, and a standard keyboard and/or mouse. The
touchscreen panels are connected by USB, and device drivers can be uploaded to ensure
compatibility with the Annotator 300. For a full list of compatible panels visit
www.extron.com. Contact Extron if the device you wish to use is not listed.
Touch Panel Configuration
If a USB touchpanel is part of the system, confirm the panel is supported by the firmware
on the Annotator 300 by reviewing the compatibility list available on the product page
of the Extron website (www.extron.com). If the touchpanel is not supported by the
firmware, a supporting module must be uploaded to the Annotator 300 using PCS version
2.1 (or greater).
1. Connect to the Annotator 300 using the PCS 2.1 software.
2. From the icon ribbon, click on and open the Annotation Settings page.
3. In the Installed USB Devices section, click Add. The Add a USB Device
dialog box opens.
4. Find the touchpanel device in the list of available modules, or:
if the device is not present in the list but is available from the Extron website,
click on Check for Updates.
5. Select the module that supports your touchpanel and click Add. The dialog box
closes and the selected touchpanel is now listed in the Installed USB Devices
section.
To remove an installed touchpanel:
1. Connect to the Annotator 300 using the PCS software.
2. From the icon ribbon, click on and open the Annotation Settings page.
3. In the Installed USB Dvices section, select the installed USB device to be
removed, and click Remove. A Remove USB Device confirmation dialog box
opens.
4. Click Remove to remove the installed device, or click Cancel to exit the action
without removing the device.
