<H2>Back to School with a New Portable Video Magnifier</H2>
<H3>Freedom Scientific’s ONYX™ Deskset XL Designed for the Classroom</H3>
<P>(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.</P>
<P>The camera mounting system is unique:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>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
<LI>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.
<LI>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</LI></UL>
<P>The monitor mounting system is unique: </P>
<UL>
<LI>The unit comes with either a 17-inch or 19-inch monitor
<LI>The monitor can be raised, lowered, or tilted to the most comfortable
position </LI></UL>
<P>The RF remote control is unique:</P>
<UL>
<LI>The user can zoom in and out and adjust brightness without touching or
shaking the camera
<LI>There is no need to aim the remote control as with infrared
<LI>The Find feature puts crosshairs on the screen to assist aiming at distant
objects
<LI>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
<LI>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:
<UL>
<LI>Black on white
<LI>White on black
<LI>Yellow on blue
<LI>Yellow on black </LI></UL></LI></UL>
<P>“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.”</P>
<P>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.</P>
