What is it?
The TVi Colour is an electronic magnifier
for people who need text and photos magnified. It uses a small hand held
mouse camera with a zoom function that connects to a standard TV and allows
the level of magnification to be altered without re-focusing. the
magnified image is displayed in full colour or enhanced black and white.
The camera has easy glide pads which facilitate easy scanning of text, and its
mobility allows difficult-to-read items such as medicine bottles, cooking
instructions etc to be magnified easily.
Benefits
Unlike other similar devices, the TVi Colour
has variable magnification and enhances standard print producing a high
contrast image. This image can be viewed in positive, (black on white)
or negative (white on black). This type of enhanced image is essential,
especially for people with Macular Degeneration.
