Post by thread:[OT]Text on Video Screens.

Hi all, A discussion came up a while back about putting text on a video screen. SGS was mentioned, so, in one swift movement, I surfed over to SGS-Thomson and found a data-sheet on the STV9425-STV9425B, STV9426, "Multi-Sync On-Screen Display for Monitor". It looks just what the doctor ordered. Haven't digested it all yet but it seems to say that you can use it on screens with different numbers of scanning lines. Which *presumably* means I can use it with a PAL standard. Ze Question: I couldn't find any Apps Notes to go with the data sheet. Does anyone know if there are any and where they might be found? Many thnax in advance for advice. Regards - Peter Hynes PS: It's not *that* much off topic - I'll use a PIC to control it! --

> Hi all, > > A discussion came up a while back > about putting text on a video > screen. Have you had a look at our new product, the TVOSD module? It is a small (~2" by 1" by 0.4") SIP with only 5 connector pins, +5V, Video In, Video Out, Serial In and Ground. It will accept serial data, either ASCII data or a set of command codes and display a full screen or overlay onto video. For more information see: http://www.itutech.com/tvosd.htm We have a data sheet in PDF format on that page. Currently, the NTSC version is shipping. The PAL version will begin shipping by the end of this month. I hope this helps! Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris B.
