General Installation
Connecting the Video Source and
Outputs
A video source provides the Annotation Pro Plus a
video image. The Annotation Pro Plus incorporates
any annotations, then outputs the combined
annotations and video image to a display. Examples
of video sources include DVD players, computers,
cameras, and television sets. Outputs can be to
projectors, monitors or other display devices. In the
Annotation Pro Plus, the source can be from HDMI
or USB.
HDMI Connectors
To connect HDMI video:
1. HDMI Input into Annotation Pro Plus: Using
HDMI video cable, connect the Annotation Pro Plus’s
HDMI In on the back panel to HDMI out on a HDMI
video source.
2. HDMI Output from Annotation Pro Plus: Using
HDMI video cable, connect the Annotation Pro Plus’s
HDMI Out to HDMI In on a HDMI video source.

Connect the provided external USB 3.0 7 port HUB
to the USB 3.0 port on the back of the Annotation
Pro Plus. The system supports up to 7 USB 3.0
devices.
Connecting Physical Controllers
IMPORTANT: Be sure to power down the
Annotation Pro Plus before connecting or
disconnecting any controllers. The Annotation
Pro Plus will automatically detect installed

power the device on.
Connecting a Keyboard, Tablet or other USB De-

off, as a toggle.

back of the Annotation Pro Plus.
Connecting Touch Screens and Whiteboards

types of touch screens. Install the HID touch screen
to the monitor as directed by your touch screen
manufacturer.

Basic Configuration

Calibrating Touch Screen Controllers
Calibration ensures an intuitive and precise feel to
drawing and marking over the particular monitor you
are using.
Calibrations are automatically saved for each video
port. If you move a touch screen to a different port,
run the calibration again. If you have a touch screen
display with multiple video inputs, you should
calibrate the touch screen for each input.
All calibrations are stored in battery backed-up
memory. The most recent calibration will be recalled
any time power is cycled off and on.

input on your touch screen display.
Annotation Control App
This feature is only available for the AN C5 P.
The Annotation Control app is available from the
Apple App Store for iOS devices, and allows you to
annotate directly from your iPad or other Apple
products.
