About blackboarding & annotations

Note: Only available when the display is a touch screen.

The connected touch screen display can be configured as a writing board. Allowing for notes or sketches to be made on top of a displayed image or on a white background. These notes and sketches can also be saved onto a USB-stick connected to the Base Unit or the local storage of a Button connected device.

There are two methods of creating drawings:

• On a clean background.

• On a shared screen or window after taping on annotations.

  

Creating drawings

While in blackboarding or annotation mode, different icons to create or manage drawings will be enabled.

• Tap on the pen tool to start drawing on the screen. While the pen tool is selected, any touch actions within the active screen will result in additional drawings.
• Tap on the desired color to switch the currently active color. (reference 1, Image 3–36)
• Remove some lines or delete mistakes by tapping on the eraser icon and swiping over the parts that must be deleted. (reference 2, Image 3–36)
• Delete all made drawings by taping on the clear option. (reference 3, Image 3–36)

Saving drawings

Tap on the save icon if the created drawings, and in case of annotations their background, must be saved for future reference. (reference 4, Image 3–36)

After tapping, the drawings, and in case of annotations their background, will automatically be saved to a USB stick that is connected to the Base Unit. All Button connected device will also receive a pop-up requesting to save a copy locally. The file will be named after the meeting room and the current date.

Note: Black and white lines will be inverted during saving. Meaning black lines become white and white lines become black.

Presenter mode

To stop using blackboarding & annotations, tap the close icon. ( reference 5, Image 3–36)

This will erase any drawings that were made during annotation mode, however drawings that were made in blackboard mode will be restored when re-entering blackboarding.
