We manufacture
low-cost video OSD (On-Screen Display) modules and other function blocks for
use by system designers. OSDs often serve as graphics and character overlay
generators for data display in remote video inspection systems and remotely
piloted vehicles (UAV, ROV, RPV) or robots. They can also be used as industrial
video titlers, dumb serial terminals, and TV-based information displays or
electronic signs. Click on the image below to see our latest product, or use

Announcements:
XBOB-4 began shipping to customers in the third week of October 2007. See photo above. XBOB-4 is an expanded version of the BOB-4 module intended for non-embedded video data overlay applications. This product replaces our original XBOB, which used third-generation (BOB-3) core technology. XBOB-4 can also serve as a convenient development platform for BOB-4 module applications, by connecting directly to a PC serial port.
October 30, 2007: An upgraded BOB-4 Conscriptor V1.7 support program has been released, with improvements in large font management, built-in Help system, and BOB-4/XBOB-4 communication.
The new 2x20 header-connector version of our BOB-4 OSD module began shipping to customers in March 2007, along with firmware upgrades to support custom fonts and bitmap images. These fourth-generation products define a higher performance plateau in the cost-effective video information display market that Decade Engineering pioneered. The first INDUSTRIAL version of BOB-4 was introduced on October 1, 2007. BOB-4-HGI is the only product of its type worldwide to combine the rugged mechanical characteristics of BOB-4-H with a full -40 to +85C industrial-standard operating temperature specification.
Our GT4500 PC scan converter & TV genlock/overlay device superimposes computer-generated text and graphics on NTSC or PAL video at a very attractive price.
