Glossary Appendix
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 informa-
tion 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 which mate with this hardware are
also called connectors.
CONTROLLER
-- a device that controls the selection, positioning, anchoring and clearing of mark-
ers on the Pointmaker overlay. Some other compatible controllers are most touch
screens and certain mouse devices.
DRAW
-- the Pointmaker feature which allows presenters to freehand draw or write over a
video or computer image.
DROP SHADOW
-- the Pointmaker option which allows presenters to attribute a shadow to drawing
lines, frames 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.
EIA RS-170
-- the specifications describing monochrome electrical performance standards
issued by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). Also referred to as RS-170
(Recommended Standard). The EIA standard is used in North and South Ameri-
ca, Japan and most of Asia.
ERASE -- the function that allows you to erase markers from the overlay, rather
than undo them using a SMART board eraser or an onscreen “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 six (6) fonts
installed in the Pointmaker are available in one or more sizes.
FRAME
-- the marker used to frame an image with a sizeable box or circle (available only
on the keyboard model). Filled frames are also available and would be used to
block out certain areas of the image.
ICON/BUTTON, TABLET
-- see button/icon.
