Annotation

Version V1.62

Annotation mode enables annotations to be made over any displayed content. Simply start annotation in the Control Center to freeze the current presentation, and the Annotation Toolbox will open. The Toolbox can also be hidden and recalled by using the Control Center icon on the right-hand side.

In Dual Screen Mode, moderators must select which annotated windows are shown on-screen.

 

For annotation, use your standard input device:

 

The following tools can be selected/adjusted in the Annotation Toolbox:

 

To use the remote control for annotation, simply press the mouse key and move the remote control as required. The Gyro-sensor function ensures that the pointer will follow the direction of your arm movements.

Example

The word "Knowledge" is marked using the circle tool. The Annotation Toolbox is open.

Stopping Annotation

Using the back button exits annotation mode. A dialogue box presents the option either to take a snapshot or reject the drawings.

 

Annotation in Collaboration Mode

Additional users connect toCynap through the browser of their device by simply entering the IP address of the Cynap and using the PIN. The PIN is shown in the Annotation Toolbox (when logged in as as admin or moderator through web access, and also on HDMI OUT 1) and also in the top status bar of the display device which is connected to HDMI OUT2.

The users can see their status (active / inactive) in the Annotation Toolbar.

When the Annotation Toolbox is opened, the connected users are listed by name (eg. Admin, Moderator, User or defined nickname). The controller of the current session is marked with a white dot behind the name. The controller enables the Collaboration Mode to allow logins as user. Depending on the collaboration settings, newly connected users are either activated automatically, or stay inactive until enabled manually by the session controller using the respective sliders. A controller can also remove users by using the x behind the respective user name.

When using Collaboration Mode in an active vSolution Matrix system, the annotation will be initiated by the main station. The connection of additional participants via browser access is blocked.

Control Center and finishing Annotation

In Collaboration Mode, the back button in the top status bar exits the current session but keeps all connected users. This is useful for accessing the standard Control Center, e.g. to prepare the next content. Use Annotation in the Control Center to return to Annotation Mode.

Using the back button exits annotation mode. Take a snapshot or reject the drawings.

Different logins

Depending on the permission level, the following logins are available:
