Real Time Annotation
Whether conducting a high level boardroom meeting, training seminar or watching
sports in a home theater, annotation helps put the fine point on any presentation.
Native to the DGE-2, annotation provides the ability to illustrate thoughts on the fly,
allowing drawing and writing over high definition video and computer images and
sketching out of ideas on a whiteboard screen, without leaving the podium or a
favorite chair while other viewers watch on the big screen.
Remote Annotation
Remote annotation capability allows multiple touch screen users to draw with their
fingertips over the same video image or whiteboard screen, enabling enhanced
interaction between several participants in a courtroom, classroom or council
chamber.
1. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or DisplayPort
Multimode signal. CBL-HD-DVI interface cables available separately.
2. Intercom is only supported using a V-Panel model V12 or V15. For IP Intercom, the V-Panel must
connect directly to the DGE-2 via DM CAT with no repeaters or switchers in line.
