Do you
fly or race with video? The Eagle Tree OSD Expander
provides a simple and easy way to display the data you need, in real
time.
When coupled with our eLogger or Data Recorder products and accessories,
a wide array of parameters can be displayed on your video screen.
What
Equipment is required?
Our OSD system is
completely modular. Simply purchase our eLogger or one of our Data
Recorders, the OSD Expander, and any additional sensors you want to
display.
Of course, our OSD system also requires an NTSC, PAL or SECAM video
camera with video output, a wireless video transmitter/receiver and/or a
Digital Video Recorder. |

How Do I
Configure the OSD? |
|
| |
|
|
Eagle Tree’s drag and
drop Configuration software makes it easy to configure the OSD to
display what you want to see, when and where you want to see it. As few
or as many parameters as you need can be displayed.
Our software lets you
configure the OSD with up to 12 data parameters per screen. Also, the
same parameter can be displayed on multiple screens.
A spare servo
channel can then switch between screens, or turn off the OSD entirely.
A special feature
of our software is the ability to set alarms on many of the parameters,
which can be set to turn on the OSD only when that condition is met.
For example, you
could set an alarm on the milliamp-Hours drawn from your battery, and
alert you by turning on the OSD and flashing the milliamp-Hours used,
when it is exceeded. Voltage, altitude, and several other parameters
can be set up with alarms in this way. |
