This section covers the menu system functions that are usually set before mak ing a
presentation. Once set, the CPN-5800 will save them in memory, even when
powered down. Some of the functions can also be accessed directly through the
keyboard or digitizing tablet.
The options include:
• Customizing the Color Palette
• Setting a Brightness Level
• Changing Pen Proximity
• Selecting Video Sources
• Calibrating CPN-5800 Controllers
• Serial Port Settings
• Setting the Tablet Template
• Setting Date and Time
The options commonly used during a presentation are covered in the chapter on
markers (see on page 65).
Customizing the Color Palette
During a presentation, all controllers (other than the digitizing tablet) allow you to
select a marking color by cycling through each of the seven available colors. To
streamline color selection, the Color Palette allows you to pre-select which of the
CPN-5800’s seven marking colors you wish to use during a pre sentation. It also
makes it easy to select colors that work well with the images you are presenting.
When the Color Palette command is activated, the seven colors appear over
whatever video input signal is currently selected. This allows you to see how well
the colors contrast with the image.
NOTE: Color choices made using the digitizing tablet override any settings
made in the Color Palette Menu.
Selecting Colors for a Presentation
