POINT can support two touch screens, allowing a touch
screen to be setup for the operator/commentator and
a separate touch screen to be housed in the CAR/Outside
Broadcast truck for engineering set ups or control override.

presenter's desk and a second touch screen can be set
up on a large plasma screen for in camera shots and
guest discussions.

Technical Jargon Explained
POINT's setup procedure couldn't be easier. It features
a standard Windows interface and BNC video controls.
POINT can be used in two modes - downstream key mode
or self key. In downstream key mode the key and fill
output of the unit is connected to the input of a vision
mixer/keyer - this allows the director to preview POINT
before bringing the system live and control it as a
separate DSK. Alternatively POINT has its own built
in high quality keyer allowing the program output to
be fed though the system and keyed on and off by the
operator.
For remote applications we have our own custom built
interface box which allows distances of up to 600
metres from the control panel to the main unit using
standard CAT5e cable..
