Back to School with a New Portable Video Magnifier
Freedom Scientific's ONYX™ Deskset XL Designed for the
Classroom
(St. Petersburg, Florida – August 26, 2009) – Freedom Scientific
today announced the latest addition to its popular ONYX line of
portable video magnifiers, the ONYX Deskset XL, featuring
versatility not found in any other video magnifier today.
The camera mounting system is unique:
- The low vision camera is mounted on an arm that telescopes to
lift the camera so that it is easy to focus on the whiteboard or
the teacher in the front of the room
- The mounting arm has three axes. It swings in a 350 degree
arc, and the camera rotates 350 degrees on the end of the arm to
look in any direction.
- The camera can be focused on the desktop directly in front of
the user or moved to the side of the monitor to increase the work
area
The monitor mounting system is unique:
- The unit comes with either a 17-inch or 19-inch monitor
- The monitor can be raised, lowered, or tilted to the most
comfortable position
The RF remote control is unique:
- The user can zoom in and out and adjust brightness without
touching or shaking the camera
- There is no need to aim the remote control as with infrared
- The Find feature puts crosshairs on the screen to assist aiming
at distant objects
- The image can be flipped to provide a mirror image for self
viewing, or to provide a right side up view independent of the
camera position
- The user can lock focus, freeze the frame, add masks and
reading lines, view images in full color, or select one of four
enhanced modes for reading text:
1. Black on white
2. White on black
3. Yellow on blue
4. Yellow on black
“This design is based on input we've received from teachers and
students alike to create an ideal classroom low vision solution,”
said Brad Davis, Vice President of Freedom Scientific. “The
rotating arm and auto focus camera let a student quickly view the
teacher, a whiteboard, other students, wall maps, visual aids,
even look out the window like other students do. The camera just
as quickly flips down to magnify reading material or notes in
front of the monitor. The unit has a compact footprint to
accommodate lecture hall seating, but the camera arm can also
cover a large work area to the side when working on projects or
with multiple reference materials. The extended arm makes for
plenty of workspace under the camera, and the monitor can be
raised or lowered and tilted to the most comfortable position,
yet the entire unit readily collapses to fit into its lightweight
rolling case for transport.”
The ONYX Deskset XL produces exactingly clear magnification of up
to 71 times and offers three distinct viewing modes: distance
view, document view, and self view. In the distance mode, even
objects from across large rooms or auditoriums can be seen in
sharp focus. The document mode gives users the ability to
magnify items such as classroom assignments, reading materials,
merchandise labels, or craft projects. With the self view, users
get a magnified true mirror image close up.
