Extron Electronics has announced “The Annotatorâ€, a new hardware-based annotation processor for video and compute-video sources. The Annotator features a GUI that allows a presenter to draw, point or add text.
An integrated, seven input, multi-format, presentation switcher supports
all common analogue and digital A/V signal types. Three
standard outputs are provided, including RGB, VGA and Extron
MTP, with scaling up to 2048 x 1080 and
HDTV 1080p. For ease of integration, a configurable
fourth output is provided for use with optional DVI,
HD-SDI or scan converter output boards.
The annotator is
ideal for use in any A/V presentation application that
requires the overlay of graphic and text elements, the company says.
