Do you fly or race with video? The Eagle Tree OSD Expander provides a simple and easy way to display the data you need, in real time. When coupled with the eLogger or Data Recorder products and accessories, a wide array of parameters can be displayed on your video screen.
What Equipment is Required? The OSD system is completely modular. Simply purchase the eLogger or one of the Data Recorders, the OSD Expander, and any additional sensors you want to display. Of course, the OSD system also requires an NTSC, PAL or SECAM video camera with video output, a wireless video transmitter/receiver and/or a Digital Video Recorder.
What Data Parameters can be Displayed on the OSD? All parameters available with our eLoggers and Data Recorders + optional sensors will be supported for display on the OSD. Here are some examples:
How Do I Hook it Up? The OSD Expander has 4 connections:
How Do I Configure the OSD? Eagle Tree's drag and drop Configuration software makes it easy to configure the OSD to display what you want to see, when and where you want to see it. As few or as many parameters as you need can be displayed. The software lets you configure the OSD with up to 12 data parameters per screen. Also, the same parameter can be displayed on multiple screens. A spare servo channel can then switch between screens, or turn off the OSD entirely. A special feature of the software is the ability to set alarms on many of the parameters, which can be set to turn on the OSD only when that condition is met. For example, you could set an alarm on the milliamp-Hours drawn from your battery, and alert you by turning on the OSD and flashing the milliamp-Hours used, when it is exceeded. Voltage, altitude, and several other parameters can be set up with alarms in this way.
Is the Eagle Tree OSD System "Future Proof"? Yes! Eagle Tree has been in the R/C Data business for many years - it's all they do! They won't lose interest in your data equipment shortly after you buy a product, and they have full time support staff to help with any issues you encounter. Also, the systems are fully modular. If they come out with a new sensor, a more powerful OSD Expander, a software improvement, etc., it's easy and cost effective to update the system. So, your system is not obsolete a few months after your buy it. And of course, the OSD Expander's firmware is updatable from the internet, making it easy for you get access to new features, sensors, get bug fixes, etc.
