BOB-4 OSD

The BOB-4 OSD is decades fourth generation low cost video information overlay module, available in a rugged 2x20 header connector format with industrial temperature specs as well as the original 30pin SIMM format. BOB-4 lets your microcontroller or PC display text and vector graphics on standard TV monitors. With large user definable character sets, BOB-4 also supports bitmap graphics and multiple languages. BOB-4 generates background video on board, or automatically genlocks to your video source and super imposes characters over the image. Printable characters and commands drive BOB-4 through fast SPI or RS232 style data links, much like a serial terminal or printer. BOB-4 links directly to most microcontroller chips and modules. NTSC and PAL video standards are supported in a single hardware version.

• Simple hook up, requires just 5VDC, serial data, video I/O
• Immediately prints plain ASCII text in default configuration
• High display density up to 480x240 (NTSC) or 480x288 (PAL)
• Industry standard ANSI command protocol (ECMA-048)
• Automatic vertical scrolling
• Text crawl (single line smooth horizontal scroll)
• Mirror image reverse text display capability
• VBI (vertical blanking interval) data insertion
• Automatic video mode control (local/genlock)
• Handles S-Video (Y/C video) with simple external circuit
