CS-64 Chroma-board

DRAW OVER BROADCAST IMAGES

Boeckeler Instruments Pointmaker CS-64D Chroma-board video marking system with touch-sensitive wall panel (patent pending) was designed especially for broadcast and distance learning chroma-key users. The system includes a broadcast video marker, 5' x 4' touch sensitive wall panel, and a digitizing tablet. This new technology allows television talent or distance learning instructors to draw directly on chroma-keyed background images.

DRAW & POINT Increase viewer attention by directing it to details on sports, weather, traffic, news, and other video images. Choice of 3 line thicknesses (with or without a drop shadow or outline), with 7 colors available, 3 colors displayed on screen at any one time. Erase markers at the click of a foot pedal. Use the Chroma-board for marking on images, and the digitizing tablet for setting preferences, or as a second marking device.

Features

KEY AND PROGRAM OUT In addition to program out, a key signal can be utilized on all models of the Pointmaker PVI-64 professional broadcast video marker.
DIGITAL KEY-OUT OPTION This option generates an SDI key timing signal for Digital Video Annotation. The result is a crisp, clean annotation that perfectly complements the high quality of the digital video.
PREVIEW/PROGRAM CHOICE allows users to display markers on the preview monitor only, or on both the preview and program monitor.
TIMING ADJUSTMENTS to counteract video delays can be made from within a menu or from an optional plug-in timing controller, in coarse or fine (pixel) adjustment mode.
PLAYBACKallows users to redraw an overlay of markers, either one marker at a time, or all markers at once. You can even adjust playback speed.
REMOTE CLEAR allows the clearing of markers from a location other than where they are drawn.
VIDEO PASS-THROUGH. When powered down, the Pointmaker automatically passes the video through without markers.
CONTROLLERS In addition to drawing on the Chroma-board, drawing and pointing can be accomplished with a digitizing tablet. Two tablets may be installed and used at two different news stations. With an optional light pen (PVI-64DL), you can draw and point directly on a monitor. The PVI-64 can also be used with certain touch screen monitors. For location work or large studios, built-in line drivers provide options for extended controller cabling.
