1. COLOR-EYE

   Color-Eye is a video magnifier designed for use by individuals with low vision. It is a hand-sized unit that connects to a television set (not included). Users have a choice of hand-held operation or hands-free use with a flex-arm mount that can be clamped on the edge of a desk or table. This device magnifies in color with positive images only (no color reversal). Magnification ranges from 4.9 to 17 times for a seven-inch TV, nine to 32 times for a 13-inch TV, and 14 to 49 times for a 20-inch TV. It can be focused from less than one inch all the way to infinity. This means that it can be used for shaving, looking down the street, or checking the yard to see what the dog is doing. To change magnification, the user slides the camera up or down in its stand, and to focus, the user turns a lens ring. Because the unit consumes less than a watt of power per hour, there is no on/off switch. WEIGHT: The unit alone weighs eight ounces; with the flex arm and carrying case, the system weighs two pounds.

2. FLEX-EYE

   Flex-Eye is a CCTV designed for use by individuals with low vision. This CCTV has a flex-arm mount that offers almost unlimited choice of camera positions and angles. It can be used for crafts and small repairs as well as reading text, and it can be rotated sideways to allow the user to view his or her own face. This high-resolution video magnifier offers a choice of color, black and white, or reverse image viewing. Focusing is automatic. The camera unit connects to an ordinary television set (not included). There are only two controls. One is the on/off control, and the other is the color/reverse image switch. The camera has a wide angle and can see the entire width of a business letter or magazine page. When the wide angle image is displayed on a large screen TV (27 inches or larger), users can orient themselves on the page, then zoom in to read at whatever magnification they prefer, keeping as much of the page as possible on screen. This minimizes or eliminates the need to move the page back and forth beneath the camera, making it easier to read. Magnification ranges are two to 10 times for a 13-inch TV, three to 15 times for a 20-inch TV, four to 20 times for a 26-inch TV, and five to 27 times for a 35-inch TV. OPTIONS: X-Y table for holding materials for viewing. WEIGHT: 5 pounds with carrying case (included).

The device can be focused from less than one inch all the way to infinity, so it can be used for both close and distant viewing. To change magnification, the user slides the camera up or down in its stand; to focus, the user turns a lens ring.
