Vizion

VIZION is a tiny on-screen display (OSD) that provides important text information on your video display. It accepts a standard NTSC or PAL video signal and overlays transparent white text on it.

Applications include video/still photography, hobby robotics, amateur radio, kite photography, and more. It's ideal for video vizionaries on a budget!

Vizion is low cost, flexible, and quite easy to use. Using your camera's existing video signal, it adds station identification (call sign), elapsed time, two voltage measurements, DC current (up to 50 amps), mAh consumption, watts measurements, and radio signal status. It even supports an optional barometric altimeter which can show altitudes up to 32K feet.

Vizion is compatible with most composite video equipment. The video source can be a video camera or even a digital still camera (A/V output required). To display the video, a CRT monitor or wireless video transmitter is typically used.

Adding the Vizion OSD to your existing video system is very simple. A three conductor video cable provides bare wires for the composite Video-In, Video-Out, and Ground connections. They require basic soldering skills to install. The other cables are a simple plug-in installation.
