Extron electronics Annotator 300 User Manual page 11

•
Compatible with popular touch displays and graphics tablets — The Annotator 300 supports a wide
variety of touch displays and graphics tablets from third-party manufacturers, and also can be used with
standard HID interfaces, including touch displays, keyboards and mice.
• Supports 25 total device connections and simultaneous annotation for two users — The Annotator 300
allows up to a total of 25 pointing device connections via USB hubs. It is ideal for collaboration applications
requiring simultaneous on-screen annotation from two users.
•
Capture, store, and recall images — An image can be captured as a snapshot of the live video output,
including annotations, and saved to internal memory, a removable USB flash drive, or a network location for
archiving.
• Print captured images using a network printer — The Annotator 300 supports connection to a printer on
the network, enabling captured images to be sent directly to the printer without connecting to a PC.
•
Configurable Main and Confidence outputs — The outputs can be configured as separate Main and
Confidence outputs with individually controlled visibility of annotation and OSD graphics.
•
HDCP compliant — Fully supports HDCP-encrypted sources, with selectable authorization for unencrypted
content.
• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP compliant or non-HDCP
compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when
connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.
•
Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color, and HD
lossless audio formats.
•
Supports DisplayPort input signals at resolutions up to 2560x1600.
•
Extron XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable is strongly recommended for optimal performance.
• Compatible with CATx shielded twisted pair cable — The Annotator 300 fully supports a maximum
transmission distance of 330 feet (100 meters) for all compatible resolutions when used with CATx shielded
twisted pair cable. Shielded twisted pair cabling with solid center conductor sizes of 24 AWG or better is
recommended for optimal performance.
•
Bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass-through for AV device control — Bidirectional RS-232 control and IR
signals can be transmitted alongside the video signal over the DTP connection, allowing the remote device to
be controlled without the need for additional cabling. Bidirectional control extension eliminates the need for
control system wiring to remote devices.
• Remote powering of DTP receiver — The Annotator 300 can provide remote power to a DTP receiver over
the twisted pair connection, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the remote unit.
•
Compatible with all DTP 230 and DTP 330 Series receivers, and DTP-enabled products — Enables
mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate receivers, as well as other DTP-enabled products to meet
application requirements.
•
DTP output is compatible with HDBaseT-enabled devices — The DTP output can be configured to send
video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals to an HDBaseT-enabled display.
• Auto-switching between inputs — Auto-switching allows for simple, unmanaged installation in locations
such as in a lectern or under a conference table. When multiple inputs are active, the switching priority is
configurable.
•
Auto Input Format Detection — For the universal analog video input, the Annotator 300 detects the
incoming signal format, automatically reconfiguring itself to provide the appropriate decoding and signal
processing. This feature can reduce the number of required outputs for a matrix switcher, lowering system
cost while improving manageability.
• Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K — Available output rates
include computer and video up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K.
•
Advanced scaling engine with 30-bit processing and 1080i deinterlacing — Image scaling and video
format conversion are performed at 30-bit precision for enhanced color accuracy and picture detail. High
performance deinterlacing of 1080i signals from HD sources delivers optimized image quality.
