Welcome to Decade Engineering!

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.

BUD: Smart Application Board for BOB-4 Video Overlay Module

 

News and Announcements:

GPS data display software is now offered along with other code examples for BUD, which began shipping to customers on January 20, 2012. BUD provides a compact and intelligent general-purpose application platform for BOB-4 modules, greatly simplifying the task of developing video data overlay systems for customers with compatible applications.

Design News magazine selected Decade Engineering's BOB-4HGI module as "best in category" and a Finalist in their 2008 Best Products contest! BOB-4HGI is the only video overlay module to combine the rugged mechanical characteristics of BOB-4H with a full -40 to +85C industrial operating temperature specification.

V4.2.17 firmware adds mirror-image reversed text printing and VBI (vertical blanking interval) data embedding capabilities to most versions of BOB-4 and XBOB-4. In addition, two general-purpose ADC input channels were added on BOB-4HGI. Download the relevant Application Guides for details.

XBOB-4 expands BOB-4 technology into a cabinet of its own, ready for convenient hookup to PCs, POS terminals, and other data processing equipment. XBOB-4 can also serve as a preliminary development and demonstration platform for embedded BOB-4 projects.
