Boeckeler Instruments Pointmaker PVI-65HD HD/SD-SDI Broadcast Video Marker

Boeckeler Instruments Pointmaker PVI-65HD HD/SD-SDI Broadcast Video Marker

  • DRAW AND/OR POINT. Circle important features of a digital video image. Underscore for emphasis, or important data on the image. Point by positioning a single arrow or other pointer such as cross hairs and dots anywhere over the video image, or by placing several arrows or other pointers alongside each point as the point is discussed.

  • COMBINE pointers and drawn lines to annotate an image during a detailed brodcast.

  • GET ATTENTION WITH COLOR. Choose up to 7 different colors to separate points being made or to increase contrast with the background image.

  • OUTPUTS The two HD-SDI outputs can be configured to display video with menus and annotation, or one output can be designated as displaying video plus annotation but no menus. One output could also be designated for pass through.

  • KEY OUT The PVI-65 can generate a key signal. This feature can be used by inputting video, configuring SDI out 1 to pass the annotated video, and configuring SDI out 2 to pass a key signal. The key output is routed to the broadcast switcher, and the annotated video can still be displayed on a preview monitor for talent or crew. These configurations can be set through the Pointmaker main menu. The HD-SDI outputs can also be used to provide a key signal by inputting a black reference signal, setting annotation to white, and routing the signal to a broadcast switcher.

  • CONTROLLERS Drawing and pointing are easily accomplished with a touch screen (not supplied), with a RS-232 digitizing tablet (PVI-65DR) or an USB digitizing tablet (PVI-65DU). Larger installations can include up to 4 digitizing tablets or various touch screen monitors. For installs involving a remote RS-232 tablet or touch screen (further than 25ft between the black box and the tablet or touch screen) we recommend using our line driver hardware (DTX-DRV). For installs involving a remote USB tablet or touch screen (further than 6ft) there are USB extenders we can recommend.
