Screen Interface
Using touch screen technology means there are no mice, clunky
graphics tablets or light pens. You just use your finger.
Simply select the tool you want then point or drag your finger
across the screen to create the desired effect immediately.
POINT can support two touch screens, allowing a touch screen
to be setup for the operator/commentator and a separate touch
screen to be housed in the CAR/Outside Broadcast truck for
engineering set ups or control override. Alternatively, a
touch screen can be mounted on the presenter's desk and a
second touch screen can be set up on a large plasma screen
for in camera shots and guest discussions.
Quick and Easy to use
All the preset tools, menu settings and features are
easily changeable and can be customized for your specific
presenters.
You can choose a set up that suits you. For example
on one show you might need only two simple tools; you
can easily create a user interface that provides just
these tools and nothing else. Alternatively, you can
crate a series of "Scenes" that allow you
to recall preset tools and graphics quickly and easily.
Made a mistake? One touch of the UNDO button will remove
it! Want to clear the screen or re-do a graphic? It's
easy with POINT's user-friendly on-screen buttons.

Technical
Jargon Explained
POINT's setup procedure couldn't be easier. It features a
standard Windows interface and BNC video controls. POINT can
be used in two modes - downstream key mode or self key. In
downstream key mode the key and fill output of the unit is
connected to the input of a vision mixer/keyer - this allows
the director to preview POINT before bringing the system live
and control it as a separate DSK. Alternatively POINT has
its own built in high quality keyer allowing the program output
to be fed though the system and keyed on and off by the operator.
For remote applications we have our own custom built interface
box which allows distances of up to 600 metres from the control
panel to the main unit using standard CAT5e cable.
