GettinG started
Section One:Getting Started Introduction
introduCtion
e Pointmaker® CPN-5800 is a professional, hardware-based video processor,
designed so that users can display and share content from an iPad, as well as from
multiple video and computer sources. is model also has the ability to change
settings, switch video sources and annotate from the convenience of an iPad.
Pointmakers are valuable assets in courtrooms, boardrooms, class rooms, city
council chambers, government training facilities, sports or weather broadcasts,
video conferences, and more.
Live Streaming Annotation System with iPad Control, Capture,
Print and Network Capabilities
e CPN-5800 gives the user the ability to capture, print and share annotated
images directly from the Pointmaker unit. An annotated image may be “cap tured”
by saving it to a USB storage device, like a ash drive. You can print annotated
images to a color PostScript printer. e printer must be connected either over a
TCP/IP network, or directly through the Pointmaker unit’s USB port to a
IEEE1284 port on the printer. Images are easily shared over a TCP/IP network or
through the mobility of the USB storage device, which is easily transported or
connected to a computer. With a separately purchased iPad, you can download
and use the Pointmaker PVI Control app to annotate and control the Pointmaker
from anywhere in the room.
Marking devices
Drawing lines and markers are controlled by the user during a presentation with
an optional USB digitizing tablet (DTU-CTL470). e included keyboard
provides a few more marking features as noted below. e CPN-5800 is also
compatible with most touch screens and mouse devices.
All Pointmaker video markers oer several simple-to-use graphics, called markers.
ere are two types of markers with which to annotate a video image: pointers and
freehand drawing. Among the 12 pointers available, there is a selection of 8
arrows, each oriented at a dierent angle; 2 dot pointers, small and large; and 2
cross hair pointers, small and large. Of course, there is an option to display no
pointer at all. e second marking capability is free hand drawing. You can select to
draw in 1 of 4 dierent line widths, with or without drop shadows.
When the keyboard is attached, it enables four additional marker types: frames,
text, a date/time stamp, and straight line drawing. Frames include boxes and
circles which can be sized in advance of a presentation, then used to frame or ll
certain areas of the video image. Using the keyboard, presenters may type alphanumeric text directly on the video image, or select an active date and time label that
Pointmaker LLC Pointmaker CPN-5800 Live Streaming Annotation System - Page 3
Introduction Section One:Getting Started
can time events displayed on the monitor or screen. Straight line drawing is also
available in three dierent line widths.
Pointers and drawings may be used in combination to annotate the image. As
easily as the markers are created, so are they easily erased, either one at a time until
the screen is clear, or all at once. Markers are actually drawn onto clear “overlays.”
e system supports up to 25 dierent marker overlays, which can be stored ahead
of time and then recalled during the presentation.
Markers can be created in 7 dierent colors, or 3 dierent highlight colors, useful
to help separate points being made, or to increase contrast with the background
image. And, if a video image is not desired, presenters may call up a white
background on the screen and use it like a whiteboard on which to “draw out”
your point.
e Pointmaker CPN-5800 is compatible with most VGA and HDMI sources,
and most DVI (with an HDMI to DVI adapter) and HDMI displays.
Figure 1-1: Front and Back Panels
iPad Server Options
e CPN-5800 contains an iPad server which supports remote control of certain
features within the unit, along with annotation, all through an iPad app. Operation of iPad app features is featured within the app’s Help area. For more information, please see our website at www.pointmaker.com/servers for further information, or contact a sales representative.
e CPN-5800 is also available without iPad server options.

Section One:Getting Started Introduction
Features
• Two marking tools
Freehand drawing mode in four dierent line thicknesses; ne, medium
and bold, with or without a drop shadow.
Pointers including arrows, dots and cross hairs, which may be moved or
anchored anywhere on the screen. Arrows may be preset to point in one of
8 dierent angles. Dots and cross hairs may be pre-selected in a small or
large size.
• Four additional marking tools with keyboard connected
Straight line drawing mode allows underscoring, mapping or other wise
drawing a straight line. ree dierent line thicknesses are available: ne,
medium and bold, with or without a drop shadow.
Text can be typed on the video image in one of 6 dierent fonts, each
available in one or more sizes. A text background may be added to further
highlight the text on the video image.
Frames in the shapes of circles or boxes may be sized and positioned to call
attention to an area within the frame. Filled frames or lls allow presenters
to block out portions of the video image, useful in classroom exams or in
blocking out extraneous visuals.
An active date/time label, sometimes called a date/time stamp, can be
placed on the video image to time an event. is label is very useful for
record keeping when saving or printing images because it is embedded in
the image.
• e ability to position and anchor a combination of several markers and
drawings on the screen at once.
• Easily capture or print annotated images.
• Options for clearing lines and pointers from an overlay all at once or one at
a time, beginning with the most recently anchored marker.
• Ability to assign a unique marker color (up to 7) to each marking device.
• On an optional digitizing tablet, an additional 3 highlight colors can be
used to create a see-through colored overlay, just like “Highlighters” on
paper.
• A drop shadow eect may be selected to further optimize the display of
drawn lines.
Pointmaker LLC Pointmaker CPN-5800 Live Streaming Annotation System - Page 5
Introduction Section One:Getting Started
• With keyboard connected or when used with AMX/Crestron control ler, or
other control system, you have the ability to store up to 25 dierent marker
overlays of Pointmaker markers so that presentations may be prepared in
advance. Without the keyboard attached, only one over lay is supported.
• Compatibility with VGA and HDMI equip ment.
• A solid white chalkboard can be selected for drawing when the video image
is no longer needed.
• Sync generation allows the Pointmaker to automatically select the sync if
no live video is desired. In the event that sync from a poor video source is
lost, the Pointmaker will automatically switch to chalkboard mode if
auto-chalkboard is enabled.
• Keyboard control provides a quick way to select many of the Menu System
options without having to go to the Menu System. Instead, function keys
provide choices for pointer type, background, marker colors, brightness
levels, video source selection and more.
• Pen Proximity feature allows tablet users to determine what happens to the
active pointer as the pen is moved away from the tablet. e pointer can be
made to disappear as the pen is pulled away, or to remain on the video
image, ready for positioning
• Brightness adjustment gives you the opportunity to set the brightness of
the Pointmaker markers to coincide with the brightness level of the video
signal, so that the markers are displayed optimally for standard video or for
professional broadcasting.
• A/V programmable so that A/V remote control systems can control the
Pointmaker using commands supplied in this manual.
• Two RS-232 ports allow the simultaneous use of two RS-232 tablets or
RS-232 touch screens (or other RS-232 communications devices).
• Four USB 3.0 ports allow the simultaneous use of up to four USB tablets,
USB touch screens, or other USB control devices. e use of USB hubs
increases the device limit to multiple USB control devices.
• Options available to multiple users to designate which RS-232 tablet or
touchscreen takes pri ority over the other when both are drawing.

Section One:Getting Started Controllers/Markers Overview
Controllers/Markers overview
is section introduces you to the most common devices you might use with the
CPN-5800. e CPN-5800 supports up to two RS-232 devices and up to 10 USB
devices through the addition of powered USB hubs.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to power down the Pointmaker before connecting or
disconnecting any controllers. e Pointmaker auto matically detects installed
controllers upon power up.
DTU-30 Digitizing Tablet
e Pointmaker DTU-CTL470 Digitizing Tablet is optional for the CPN-
5800(tablet design may vary). In general, the tablet is used to draw, position
point ers or make menu selections. e position and movements of the stylus (also
called a pen) are represented by a video pointer on whatever display devices are
activated. Additionally, most setup commands can be activated using the tablet
rather than entering the on-screen menu system (see Using the CPN-5800 Menu
System, on page 29.
Refer back to this section, if needed, for general instructions concerning the
tablet’s operation.

e Tip Button of the stylus is a select button, like the left button of a mouse. Use
the Tip Button to draw or position markers. Clicking the Tip Button on a tablet
icon activates that icon’s function. You also use this button in combination with
the Barrel Button to access the menu system.
Barrel Button
Marker and Cursor Movement
KB-30 Keyboard
Use the Barrel Button like the right button of a mouse. It is a rocker button and
works the same way on either end. You primarily use this button to anchor
markers. You also use this button in combination with the Tip Button to access the
menu system. e two buttons must be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
Unlike a mouse controller, a tablet allows you to make drawings and place pointers
with absolute positioning (mouse devices and keyboards use relative positioning).
Absolute positioning means that the position of the stylus on the tablet surface
corresponds directly to the position on the screen. For example, if you place the
stylus in the lower-left corner of the tablet Tracking Area, the active pointer will
move to the lower-left corner of the screen. Absolute posi tioning may take a few
moments to adjust to if you’ve never used a tablet.
With the keyboard, you can select, type, position, save, and erase the markers on
the overlay. You also use the keyboard to access the menu system and change the
appearance of markers. e following are general denitions for keyboard
functions.
More details on each key’s functions can be found in the Appendix (see Activating
the Menu, on page 29).

Touch Screens and Whiteboards
e Pointmaker CPN-5800 is engineered for use with many touch screens or
interactive whiteboards sold by other manufacturers. Contact Pointmaker LLC for
compatibility information.
In general, you use the touch screen to draw, position pointers, or make menu
selections. e broad denition of the areas (or zones) on the touch screen are
listed below.
Calibrating the touch screen enhances the intuitive feel of drawing on the dis play.
It’s essential to do a rough calibration the rst time you start the unit after connecting the touch screen. is gives you enough control to activate the menu and do a
complete calibration. (see Calibrating CPN-5800 Controllers, on page 50.

Connecting Controllers Section Two:Installation
Connecting a 3rd Party Controller - COMM Port Wiring Issues
Customers sometimes encounter issues with the wiring of controllers other than
those oered by Pointmaker LLC. e following information may be helpful in
solving them.
• Pointmaker COMM ports sometimes use pin 9 to supply power to the
DTX-DRV RS-232 line drivers. e DTX-DRV drivers support cable
extensions for digitizing tablets or touch screens. Pin 9 was selected
because it’s specication is seldom used. If you are connecting a device
other than a DTX-DRV driver to a COMM port, the voltage may cause
unexpected issues with the device.
• COMM 1 and COMM 2 have jumpers for power on pin 9, and are set to
OFF when shipped from the factory. If you require power for a DTX-DRV
driver for either or both of these COMM ports, please contact technical
support.
• Some touch screens may need hardware handshaking. In that case, try a
cable with pins 7 and 8 tied together.

Cabling:
If you desire to have the touch screen farther from the CPN-5800 than the
length of the touch screen’s RS-232 cable, you may need to install a line
driver. e touch screen and Pointmaker will not func tion properly if the
signal strength is too weak or encounters interfer ence. While the RS-232
specication indicates usage up to 50 feet, the actual distance at which the

Pointmaker LLC recommends that you test any conguration to determine
whether the line drivers are needed.
FOR RS-232 Touch Screens:
You may install your own extension cable according to the following specications:
• ree conductor cable

If you determine that you need a line driver to maintain signal strength, you
may purchase the DTX-DRV line driver from Pointmaker LLC (see “If
installing the optional DTX-DRV extension” on page 22). e DTX-DRV
specication allows for distances up to 450 feet.
For USB Touch Screens:
