INTRODUCTION
A Professional Marker for HD/SD-SDI
Powerful
The Pointmaker® PVI-65 HD/SD-SDI Broadcast Video Marker by Boeckeler
Instruments, Inc., now makes it possible to utilize the power of video annota-
tion with high definition video, using the Serial Digital Interface standard.
The PVI-65 can generate a key signal. This feature can be used by inputting
video and configuring SDI output #2 to pass the key signal. The key output is
routed to the broadcast switcher. The annotated video from SDI output #1 can
still be displayed on a preview monitor for talent or crew. These configurations
can be set through the Pointmaker menu system.
The HD/SD-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.
In addition, it supports up to ten different pointing/marking/controlling devices
(digitizing tablet, touch screen, keyboard, mouse devices, etc.) for interacting
with the displayed images.
