OSD chip

[David]

Hi,

I am looking for a On Screen Display IC for 8-bit micro controller
application that needs to create colour graphics and text on video monitor.

Preference for unit that can gen lock to external signal as well as
run stand-alone.

A desirable feature (but not essential) is ability to mirror text
without having to create and entire characters set that is mirrored.

The device will later be a production unit so the component source needs
to be wholesale pricing (not Farnell, RS Spares, Digikey etc).

Could someone please recommend a suitable device and possible source in
Australia

Thanks

Regards

David Huisman

seems like a vague request, what sort of graphics are you considering?
colour range, font pitch? tarrget price, roll your own using a DSP ?

Bye.
