The PIC On Screen Display (OSD) project board available from
http://www.STV5730A.co.uk has been designed to provide simple, inexpensive
hardware and software for the development of versatile OSD applications.
Far more than a simple video text generator, the OSD project board creates
a unique environment for PIC program development. Programs can now be
created that directly interface with sensors and other devices in the
normal way, but which can also interact by displaying their data and status
information on any TV screen or video monitor.
The project board combines the 16F628 with the STV5730A OSD chip used to
generate the on screen menus for VCRs. Fully compatible with both PAL &
NTSC video standards the project board will overlay text and graphics
characters onto the composite video signal from any camera or other video
source. It can also generate its own video signal which can be displayed on
any TV, video monitor or VCR with a composite video input.
A set of on screen display routines and advanced example
programs is also available to aid the development of more complex screen
displays.
Cut out the tedium of project development and get straight to the fun
of making your idea work with proven hardware and well commented easy to
understand example code.
The PIC 16F628 - STV5730A on screen display project board is available
from http://www.STV5730A.co.uk
Features:
* 16F628 microcontroller for flexible development
* STV5730A on screen display IC gives 28 character by 11 row screen
* 128 text and graphics characters defined in ROM
* Text over video or self generated video signal
* RS232 interface via DS275 & PIC USART
* i/o lines on the PIC for easy interface to sensors, keypads, etc
* Power supply 5V dc or 9 - 12dc via on board regulator
* Simple PC serial interface and GPS display examples
* Enclosures, accessories and connectors available
