Today, most video magnifiers use cameras and monitors with solid state, digital technology. The CCD camera presents a clearer, sharper, and more stable image and has a longer life expectancy than the older models. Some CCTV systems can be connected to a PC, which gives the user a choice to view full screen CCTV, full screen PC or split screen. Because additional hardware may be required for the PC-CCTV interaction to take place, please consult with your ATRC or support person if this option is to be explored. In addition, the PC may require screen magnification software if this configuration is utilized.
Video magnifiers are available in both desktop units and portable models.
