Section One:Getting Started Introduction
introduCtion
is manual covers features of both the CPN-5600 and the CPN-6000. e
CPN-6000 contains all the features of the CPN-5600, plus several more. When it
describes CPN-5600 features, they also apply to the CPN-6000. When the
manual specifies CPN-6000, those features are only found in the 6000.
e Pointmaker® CPN-5600 is a professional, hardware-based video processor,
designed so that users can display and share content from an iPad, as well as from
multiple video and computer sources. is model also has the ability to change
settings, switch video sources and annotate from the convenience of an iPad.
Pointmakers are valuable assets in courtrooms, boardrooms, class rooms, city
council chambers, government training facilities, sports or weather broadcasts,
video conferences, and more.
Color Video Marker with iPad Control, Capture, Print and
Network Capabilities
e CPN-5600 gives the user the ability to capture, print and share annotated
images directly from the Pointmaker unit. An annotated image may be “cap tured”
by saving it to a USB storage device, like a flash drive. You can print annotated
images to a color PostScript printer. e printer must be connected either over a
TCP/IP network, or directly through the Pointmaker unit’s USB port to a
IEEE1284 port on the printer. Images are easily shared over a TCP/IP network or
through the mobility of the USB storage device, which is easily transported or
connected to a computer.
Marking devices
Drawing lines and markers are controlled by the user during a presentation with
an optional USB digitizing tablet (DTU-CTL470). e included keyboard
provides a few more marking features as noted below. e CPN-5600 is also
compatible with most touch screens and mouse devices.
All Pointmaker video markers offer several simple-to-use graphics, called markers.
ere are two types of markers with which to annotate a video image: pointers and
freehand drawing. Among the 12 pointers available, there is a selection of 8
arrows, each oriented at a different angle; 2 dot pointers, small and large; and 2
cross hair pointers, small and large. Of course, there is an option to display no
pointer at all. e second marking capability is free hand drawing. You can select to
draw in 1 of 4 different line widths, with or without drop shadows.
When the keyboard is attached, it enables four additional marker types: frames,
text, a date/time stamp, and straight line drawing. Frames include boxes and
circles which can be sized in advance of a presentation, then used to frame or fill
