Overview

IntroductionThe CR-400® is a professional, hardware-based annotation system. The CR-400 is often controlled by a Crestron, AMX, or other room control system. The user uses a touchscreen monitor to draw over video or clears his annotations. Multiple video sources can be connected directly to the CR-400. This model also has the ability to change settings, switch video sources, and allow annotation from tablets and smartphones.This ManualThis manual provides instructions for configuring your CR-400 using the built-in system menu, creating annotations, providing video sources, and connecting and using physical controllers (such as a keyboard or mouse).For instructions on using a smartphone or tablet, please see the CR-400 Control App section.For instructions on configuring RS-232 devices to send commands to the CR-400, follow the instructions in this manual for proper wiring and configuration. Once your RS-232 device is properly wired, please see the RS-232 (COMM Port) Pinout and Commands section, and reference the Pointmaker Programmer’s Guide. The Pointmaker Programmer’s Guide has a list of detailed commands that can be sent to the CR-400.4K Presentation System with Save, Print, and ShareThe CR-400 gives the user the ability to save, print, and share annotated images. An annotated image can be saved to a USB storage device, such as a flash drive. Users can also print annotated images to a printer. Images can be shared over a TCP/IP network through Windows Share.AnnotationThe user has a variety of options for drawing lines and markers during a presentation. The CR-400 is compatible with most touch screens, keyboards, and mouse devices. A smartphone or tablet can also be used for annotation.

Video is annotated using several simple-to-use graphics called markers. There are two types of markers: pointers (such as an arrow) and freehand drawing. Pointers and drawings may be used in combination to annotate. Markers are easily erased either one at a time until the screen is clear, or all at once.When a keyboard is attached, text, a date/time stamp, and a straight-line drawing are available. With the various marker selections available, users can choose the best option to increase contrast over the image or video displayed on the monitor. Users may also display a white background on the screen and use it like a whiteboard on which to “draw out” your point.Features

  • Two marking tools.º 2 pointers with 8 arrows of various angles, plus 2 dots and 2 crosshairs in a small or large size.º Freehand draw in 7 solid line colors, 4 different line thicknesses (with or without drop shadows), plus 3 highlight colors.
  • Four additional marking tools with a keyboard connected.º Straight-line drawing mode allows underscoring, mapping, or otherwise drawing a straight line.º Text can be typed on the video image in one of 6 different fonts, each available in one or more sizes. A text background may be added to further highlight the text on the video image.º An active date/time label (sometimes called a date/time stamp) can be placed on the video image to time an event. This label is very useful for record-keeping when saving or printing images because it is embedded in the image.
  • The ability to position and anchor a combination of several markers and drawings on the screen at once.
  • Easily save, print, and share 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 and switch between colors during a presentation.
  • 3 highlight colors can be used to create a see-through colored overlay, just like highlighters on paper.
  • A drop shadow effect may be selected to further optimize the display of annotated lines over the background.
  • Compatibility with HDMI equipment.
  • A solid white chalkboard can be selected for drawing when the video image is no longer needed.
  • Sync generation allows the CR-400 to automatically select the sync if no live video is desired. In the event that sync from a poor video source is lost, the CR-400 will automatically switch to chalkboard mode if an autochalk board 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 a pointer type, background, marker colors, brightness levels, video source selection, and more.
  • Brightness adjustment gives you the opportunity to set the brightness of the CR-400 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.
  • AV programmable so that AV control systems can control the CR-400 using programmable commands.
  • Two RS-232 ports allow the simultaneous use of two RS-232 communications devices, such as tablets or touchscreens.
  • Five USB 3.0 ports allow the simultaneous use of USB tablets, USB touch screens, or other USB control devices. The use of USB hubs increases the device limit to more USB control devices.
  • Options are available to multiple users to designate which RS-232 tablet or touchscreen takes priority over the other when both are drawing.
  • Control the CR-400 through the free CR-400 Control app.

General Installation

The Back PanelMost wired devices will connect via one of the ports on the back panel. There are numerous ports to connect to, including USB, HDMI, COMM ports and a Phoenix-Style connector.

Connecting the Video Source and OutputsHDMI ConnectorsTo connect HDMI video:HDMI Input into CR-400:Using HDMI video cable, connect the cable to the HDMI In port on the back panel of the CR-400,HDMI Output from CR-400:Using HDMI video cable, connect the cable to the HDMI Out port on the back of the CR-400 to HDMI In on an HDMI display.NOTE: HDMI In and HDMI Out is HDCP compliant.DVI-D Connectors (through HDMI)If desired, use HDMI to DVI-D video cable adapter to connect the CR-400 HDMI input or output to a DVI device.Pre-Installation RecommendationsCablingIf you desire to have the touch screen farther from the CR-400 than the length of the touch screen’s RS-232 cable, you may need to install a line driver.The touch screen and CR-400 will not function properly if the signal strength is too weak or encounters interference. While the RS-232 specification indicates usage up to 50 feet, the actual distance at which the signal must be amplified will vary based upon environmental factors. CR-400 recommends that you test any configuration to determine whether the line drivers are needed.If installing the Line Driver extensions

  1. Connect the female DB-9 connector to the male DB-9 connector on the extension transmitter from the touch screen cable (male micro driver).
  2. Using an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ-11 connectors, connect the male micro driver to the female micro driver.
  3. Connect the extension receiver (female micro driver) to a COMM port on the back of the CR-400.

For USB Touch Screens or MonitorsYou may install your own extension cable according to the following specifications:

  • Three conductor cable
  • Male DB-9 to female DB-9 wired straight through on pins 2, 3, and 5.

If you determine that you need a line driver to maintain signal strength, many third-party USB line drivers and extension hardware are available for improving signal strength.Connecting DevicesHere are some guidelines for setting up these devices.IMPORTANT: Be sure to power down the CR-400 before connecting or disconnecting any controllers. The CR-400 will automatically detect installed controllers upon turning the power on. If you change controllers or add a new controller, you need to turn the power off, install the new controller(s), then turn the power on.Connecting the Keyboard, Tablet or other USB DevicesConnect the device(s) to any USB port on the CR-400. The system supports up to 5 USB 3.0 devices and 1 USB B device.Connecting the Phoenix ConnectorConnect the wires from your power controller (or another device) to the CR-400’s Phoenix-style connector (labeled on the back of the device as PWR SW). When the relay is thrown, the CR-400 will power on or off, as a toggle.Connecting Touch Screens and Electronic WhiteboardsThe CR-400 is compatible with many types of touch screens (call CR-400 for compatibility), and each device will have its own method of connection. Use the instructions for your touch screen or whiteboard for help connecting to the CR-400.Connecting a 3rd Party Controller – COMM Port Wiring IssuesCustomers sometimes encounter issues with the wiring of controllers. The following information may be helpful in resolving any issues.

  • CR-400 COMM ports sometimes use pin 9 to supply power to the RS-232 line drivers. Pin 9 was selected because its specification is seldom used. If you are connecting a device other than a line 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 from 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.

Detecting and Assigning Devices

Devices connected to any ports will often be auto-detected by the CR-400. However, sometimes these devices will need to be manually added or need additional configuration.Serial Port SettingsSerial ports are used for connecting controller/marker devices and used for connecting to other systems. The Serial Port dialog also allows you to assign a priority system to control users if multiple controller/markers are connected.Initialization of Controller/Marker Device TypesSerial ports are initialized when the CR-400 is powered on. During this process, the CR-400 attempts to determine what device type is connected to each port. This procedure can be lengthy since the CR-400 accommodates a wide range of devices, and in its default auto-detect mode, it will run through the entire list of possibilities for each port.NOTE: The CR-400 can only automatically detect controller/marker device types; other devices will need to be set up manually.It is possible to limit the initialization process for a designated port by permanently assigning the device type.The CR-400 will look for only the permanently assigned device type.This speeds up the initialization process considerably.The next time the CR-400 is powered up, the auto-detect procedure will skip the permanently assigned port.If the assigned device needs to be initialized at startup, it will be initialized according to the device type listed.Designating a Serial Device Type

Using Markers

OverviewThe CR-400 features a variety of graphics, called markers, which you place over a video image to draw attention to or explain details of the image.The markers available include freehand drawing and a variety of pointers.With the keyboard installed, you can type text, draw straight lines, and anchor a date/time label. You can place any combination of these markers on the screen, in any combination of available colorsSuch a combination of markers is called a marker overlay. With the keyboard installed, you can save and retrieve up to 25 different marker overlays.This section covers marking procedures to follow while making a presentation. It is assumed that you have made set-up selections sometime before your presentation.Assigning Marker ColorsThe color that the active marker displays is the color that the marker will be anchored in. You can anchor markers of different colors on a single overlay.The colors available during a presentation are based on those activated in the Color Palette menu. If the color of the markers does not change from black, the brightness level is too low and must be increased before selecting the color.From Any ControllerActivate the Change Color command from your control device. All markers anchored from this point on will appear in the newly selected color.NOTE: If the pointer has been disengaged, and the Display Color Change option in the Color Palette Menu has been activated, a small block of color will briefly appear in the lower right of the screen to help you identify the new marker color.Assigning Line StylesYou can change line style directly from the keyboard. You can also change the line style from other devices by accessing the menu system. When the keyboard is installed, you can only access the menu system from the keyboard.When a line style is selected from a marking device, the CR-400 keeps track of the style and the device. The device will draw with that style until a different style is selected. This allows each marking device to have its own line style. You can have drawn lines of different styles on a single overlay. Once you draw the line or anchor a straight line, you cannot change that line style. However, you can erase or undo the drawing and begin again.From the Keyboard

  1. Activate the Line Style command. A small sample of the active line style will appear briefly in the lower-right handcorner of the screen.
  2. Repeatedly activate the Line Style command until the desired line style appears in the on-screen sample. You can scroll back through the line options, by activating the Reverse Toggle command.
  3. All lines drawn from this point on will appear in the newly selected line width and style.

From the Menu System

  5. Exit the menu system. All lines drawn from this point on will appear in the newly selected line width and style.

Entering the Marking ModeThe CR-400 is in the marking mode by default. The only time it is not in marking mode is when a menu is displayed. In the Marking mode, the image from the video source is displayed along with any stored markers. An active pointer is also displayed unless it was disabled during setup.DrawingYou can draw on the CR-400 overlay simply by beginning to draw. The drawing feature allows you to circle important parts of the image, write on the image, or underscore particular parts of the text. You can draw freehand curves or straight lines. To draw, you can use your finger on a touch screen. You can also use other mouse devices to draw. You cannot freehand draw using the keyboard, but you can use it for straight-line drawing. Before drawing, you may change the drawing line color or the width and style of the drawing line.Drawing Freehand

  1. Position the active pointer (if one is displayed) anywhere on the video image where the drawing is to begin.
  2. Activate the Draw command from your particular drawing device.
  3. Reposition the active marker (if one is displayed) and repeat the above procedures for another drawn line.

  2. Select the image you wish to retrieve from the list that is presented. The image is displayed on the screen.

Printing Images

.The CR-400 allows you to print to a printer either directly or over a TCP/IP network. If you print directly, the configuration requires a USB to Centronics cable. To print over a TCP/IP network requires an Ethernet cable and the address of the printer.Printer SetupThe CR-400 can print to a printer over a TCP/IP network. This section shows you how to set it up.

  1. Activate the menu system. The Main Menu appears.
  2. Select the Network option. The Network Menu appears.
  3. Select the Printer option. The Network Printer dialog menu.
  4. Enter the IP address of the printer. Check with your IT administrator if you don’t know this address.
  5. Enter the Port number. This is usually 515.
  6. Enter the number of copies to be printed each time you give the Print command.
  7. Exit this dialog by selecting Previous Menu. The next time you give the Print command, it will use these settings.

Print an image

  1. Print an image in one of the following ways:• Touch Screen: Touch the appropriate area if you assigned this command.• Keyboard: Type ALT+F4.
  2. The image is sent to the printer. A counter appears at the lower-right portion of the screen, indicating the percentage of the image sent to the printer. When the counter reaches 100, it disappears. The system is then ready to print another image.

Verifying Saved or Printed ImagesIn circumstances where it is important to know that a file has been successfully saved or printed, you will want to activate the Verify setting.Once it is active, each time you print or save a file, a dialog will appear, asking you to verify that the image was successfully saved or printed.

Glossary

ACTIVE MARKER— the pointer, text label, or date/time label which is positionable. Often used as a marker, but also used to position the starting point of a drawing line. When the active marker is anchored, another identical active marker appears on-screen. One active marker is always displayed unless the marker has been turned off.ANCHORED MARKER— the opposite of an active marker. An anchored marker has been placed in a fixed position on the CR-400 overlay and cannot be moved again. However, anchored markers may be erased or cleared.BACKGROUND— text background refers to the area immediately surrounding a line of text or a text label. For video background, see Chalkboard.BLOOM— markers or text which enlarge or blur on the monitor due to excessive brightness.BUTTON, TABLET— the square or rectangular zone on the tablet Menu Strip that represents a CR-400 function. When this zone is clicked on with the pen tip, that function is engaged.CHALKBOARD— the solid area behind the CR-400 markers when in the Chalkboard mode. Presenters may choose a source background or a solid background.CLEAR— removing all the overlay of all markers at once. A single active marker will remain on-screen unless the marker has been disabled.CLICK— quickly depressing and releasing a button on the CR-400 auxiliary controller, as opposed to a press of the button.COLOR PALETTE— a user-defined group of colors that may be attributed to each active marker before anchored. From 1 to 7 colors are available.COMM PORT— a serial port used for communications. Serial devices that connect to these ports (such as a mouse or touch screen) send and receive data in single bits of information one after the other, thus the term serial.CONNECTOR— hardware installed on cable ends to provide cable attachment to an input or output device. Input and output device ports that mate with this hardware are also called connectors.CONTROLLER— a device that controls the selection, positioning, anchoring, and clearing of markers on the CR-400 overlay. Some other compatible controllers are most touch screens and certain mouse devices.DRAW— freehand drawing or writing over a video or computer image.DROP SHADOW— a shadow on drawing lines, or straight lines for the purpose of creating a line that stands out from the video image. Most colors have a black drop shadow. Black has no drop shadow.ERASE— remove markers from the overlay, rather than undo them using an on-screen eraser. Erasing has the same effect as erasing with a pencil or chalkboard eraser; only the markers you touch (or parts of them) will erase.FONT— a particular style of text such as Helvetica or Times Roman. The fonts installed in the CR-400 are available in one or more sizes.ICON/BUTTON, TABLET— see the button, tablet.MARKERS— pointers (arrows, crosshairs, dots), date/time labels, freehand drawings, and straight lines which can be placed and anchored on a CR-400 marker overlay.OVERLAY— a combination of one or more markers placed on the screen using the capabilities of the CR-400. These markers overlay a chosen video image. While the markers are visible, the actual overlay is invisible, allowing you to mark directly on top of a video image (or solid background if selected in the menu system).POINTERS— the different arrows, crosshairs, and dot pointers that may be selected and placed on a CR-400 overlay, in any number and in combination with other markers. Pointers are considered markers. However, not all markers are pointers.PRESS— on the keyboard, the action of pressing then releasing the function key. On auxiliary controllers, a press is often the action of depressing and not releasing a button until the desired effect takes place on the screen (as opposed to a click of the button).PROXIMITY— on a tablet, when proximity is activated, the active pointer automatically disappears each time the pen is lifted from the drawing area.UNDO— remove anchored markers on an overlay one at a time, beginning with the most recently anchored marker.VIDEO SOURCE— a device from which the CR-400 receives a video image, incorporates the CR-400 graphic overlay capabilities, then outputs to the corresponding display. Examples of video sources include DVD players, cameras, VGA computers, standard television sets, teleconference equipment, slide-to-video converters, visual presenters, and more. The source can be from HDMI or USB.

Troubleshooting Guide

The following table describes common problems and their solutions. If, after referring to this table, a problem still exists, call CR-400 and ask for technical assistance.There are no user-serviceable parts in the CR-400. Do not open the cabinet. The CR-400 can be soft booted/power cycled by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL. Factory default settings are restored by pressing CTRL + ALT + END.WARNING: executing a factory reset will erase all user settings including calibrations, COMM port settings, etc.

SYMPTOMS

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

The green indicator light on the front of the CR-400 does not light up. Check that the CR-400 is plugged into a live outlet.
The monitor does not light up. Check that the monitor is plugged into a live outlet.Check that the monitor is switched on.Check that the monitor brightness and contrast controls are properly adjusted.
The CR-400 markers appear to bloom. Adjust system parameters on the video output device, monitor, or cameras (if in use) such as contrast, gain, brightness, color, light, and intensity.Decrease the brightness of CR-400 markers or use a different marker color.
Monitor lights up but does not display a picture. Check that the video source and CR-400 are each plugged into a live outlet. Check that the video source and CR-400 are both switched on.Check that the proper cables are connected to the proper connectors on the video source, the CR-400, and the monitor. Some sources and monitors have multiple output and input connectors. Consult your video or computer manuals for correct connection information.Bypass the CR-400 by connecting the monitor directly to the video source. If the video image still does not appear, have the video source and monitor checked.
Monitor automatically adjusts the brightness so that the video image is dull while markers are bright. The monitor is automatically adjusting for the overall brightness level of the markers and the video image. On the CR-400, activate the Change Brightness command. Tone down the brightness level of the markers. The monitor will adjust accordingly.
Monitor displays a scrambled picture. Check the horizontal hold control on the video monitor for proper adjustment. Check that the Dual Voltage Switch (110V/220V) located on the back panel of the CR-400 is properly set.The monitor is not compatible with the video sources. Use a compatible system.Check to be sure that the video in and out connectors on the CR-400 is secure.
The mouse device will not operate properly. Refer to the specific section in this manual that describes the installation of your controller.
The touch screen will not operate properly. For touch screens, you may need to calibrate settings. Refer to Calibrating Touch Screen Controllers.
PC display scrolls. You may need to adjust your computer’s Display or Monitor Typesetting for a video scan rate compatible with the CR-400.For display utilities that permit the user to change the horizontal scan rate or vertical refresh rate:Select a resolution, maximum horizontal scan rate, and maximum vertical scan rate that is compatible with the computer hardware, the CR-400, and the display monitor/projector. You will need to restart the computer before changes can be activated.For Windows 718110 Display Settings that permit a change in monitor type:If an independent display utility or video driver was not installed, you may want to change the display type by using the settings commands in Windows 7/8/10.

  1. Go to the Display settings for your system.
  2. In the Display, window finds the Screen Resolution listing.
  3. Select the desired resolution.
  4. With some operating systems you may need to click Apply for the change in resolution to take effect. Some operating systems update automatically.
