... It counts in my book Dave ;-) What can happen at extreme temperatures, is a component can go out of tolerance, or a quartz crystal oscillator will fail to...
Geoff, Dave, Glad to see your interest in this, my Konica-Minolta A2 starts erratically locking up around 3 or 4 degrees, not uncommon temps for me to be out...
... The circuit is low impedance Paul - so I don't anticipate any humidity issues. Dave Gault (Blue Mountains - Australia) has the first prototype that I ever ...
for the cold extreme temperatures that have been reported, i was wondering, how long was the OSD in that enviroment before it was powered up. remember, it is a...
in a number of threads, Geoff has indicated that I configure the Garmin 18 prior to shipping it. that much is 100% accurate. what he usually says is that the...
Yes, I was thinking along those lines, if its sealed then humidity wont be too much of an issue (apart from condensation) but the internal heat should accepted...
Gents, ... Yep, still runs like a swiss watch... er?!%? better in fact... ;-) ... Indeed... Also, I remebered that the 44degrees C upper record can now be...
G'day Vince, ... My new Garmin powered KIWI OSD took 1 1/4 minutes to realise it was in Australia and gave good lat/long and another 5 to give good altitude. ...
... I took it out of the car and set it up right away. Next time it is cold like that I'll take along my IR thermometer, but it doesn't like the cold either...
Hello, ... yesterday I started measurements with my KIWI-OSD working under clouded sky. A non contact thermometer with pyrosensor was used. But a low battery...

Hello all, Video Time insertion seems like a simple task - just plonk the time from a GPS onto a video stream! However the devil is in the detail: - What...
well, i'm not worried, but i didn't want geoff to be corrected when the problem was with me. i have switched back to North so that it hopefully will lock-in...
... Thanks for your honesty Vince - but actually no-one would have ever noticed, the error (sign of latitude) was only affecting you ;-) To prove my point - I...
I have an old NTSC monitor that I use to test OSDs and GPSs before i ship them out. It has been working well up to now, but it's 18 yrs is catching up with it....
Hi Vince, ... The symptoms you give, suggest to me the OSD was in PAL mode, so the text would just be a jumble of dots - did you press the "yellow button" on...
... Sometimes I have the same symptoms. The inserted pixel and lines look something like blown sidewards from strong wind. If I am late and in (as mostly)...

OK, i can't recall if i tried the yellow button test, but i'll give it a try. that is easier than trying to return it to the store and then go find another...
Recent messages have addressed portable TV approaches for viewing the video camera outputs. I am still a couple weeks away from being able to try variations...
Walt, For what it is worth, my experience with the small screen on my Canon ZR50 is that what I can see on the screen at the time of recording is very near...
I have a ZR-200 Cannon camcorder and the screen on it does not show anywhere near what I see on an external monitor, so I've been using various external...
... Good description Gerhard - if the OSD has chosen the wrong video mode, the dots do look like they are being blown sideways in a strong wind - simply ...
... pick me, pick me... I have 1 PAL and ... 3 NTSC cams and two KIWI OSDs On the monitor front... I use 6 inch CRT B&W security monitors (have two) and they...
Ok, an update. the yellow button test was a wash. it didn't make any difference in the performance. i returned the unit and purchased another (even cheaper at...
... That is impressive Dave - but are you keeping up with the latest developments in precision timing? You did not mention you have an 'encabulator' in your...
... Thanks for the tipoff Geoff, obviously a must have. One thing has me stumped though... Do you have a sheet of prefamulated amulite handy so I can start...
My Mintek DVD player has separate minijack ports for AV IN and AV OUT, but only one can be used at a time, i.e., there is no pass- through. Selection of which...
My Mintek is Model MDP-1060. My guess is that the model number relates to the 10-inch screen size. It is also described as '10.2" TFT Monitor Portable DVD.'...
ok, simple request and i'm sure more than one of you has the answer. i have a sony digital camcorder which i will use to capture occultation events. i have a...
I have just begun using a Sony camcorder, and consider that a break- through (re. my VHS system) of a magnitude just slightly less than KIWI and Limovie. I...
