POINT now features a Holo Screen version for use in broadcast, AV and corporate presentations, and a touch screen laptop version for sports training applications. Also new for NAB 2004 are a selection of POINT graphics tools and a recording system for easy playback on air. POINT is a touch screen system that allows operators to draw onto a TV picture in real time, giving immediacy and extra content to any broadcast. Applications include sports (i.e., football, baseball, soccer, cricket, tennis, basketball and more), news, weather, conferences, training, and corporate presentations. POINT is ideally suited to live productions due to its ease of operation. The control surface is a touch sensitive LCD (or Plasma for in-shot use) screen or Holo Screen with a simple graphical interface allowing fast and error free operation. In a live situation waiting for things to happen is not an option, so the tools in POINT operate instantly, enabling the operator to concentrate on the commentary or presentation. The touch screen allows the user to instantly draw freehand, place animated arrows, and even recall previously saved graphics and animations. It is easy to freehand draw by simply touching and moving a finger across the screen. Scalable arrows can be dragged and curved in real time with two or more
touches. POINT - Broadcast SDI and Analogue system New tools for NAB 2004 include: • VTR/ Slo-Mo control: A new tool to allow presenters to control
