Hello all, I was looking at some of the details of the Kiwi-OSD, GPS and composite video signals, and have some questions (after searching in the previous...
G'day Jerry, ... Your question brought back memories of my observation of the implementation of the 2006 leap second and prompted me to have another look at...
Ooops... too many minutes... should read... - the Deluo GPS inserts the leap second at 23:59:50 and at 23:59:52 KIWI OSD reports an integrity error, by...
... I just ran a simple test to show that the correct sequence of fields, when processing files with Limovie on my system, is Bottom first. I don't know...
Hi Jerry, ... KIWI use the V-sync of the video signal to determine the start of a video field. There is no difference if it is a video field with odd or even...
Hello Dave, Thanks for the detailed answer - it looks like some GPS modules don't bother much about the leap second - the KIWI-OSD has a sensible solution, it...
Hello Gerhard, Thanks for the detailed reply - I looked at the links you gave, and understand the problem better now, also how the KIWI-OSD works Your English...

G'day Vince again, Yep, #44-1047 is kaput! I set it up and left it to run in my skyshed. It's daylight but when I go out and switch off the light, it's quite...
Hi, ... This sounds rather like an effect I had with the first KIWI-OSD I bought. One of the earlier ones in a box with cables coming out all over the place....
My unit #43-0360 has the same problems, but although it has some behavioural issues, we've been living in harmony for the last 18 months! Maybe Vince could...

I will soon post instructions on how to make the modification yourself, but I have found it is easier to make them with new transistors rather than trying to...
tony, i show only one order from you in my system. it indeed was a kit. it is one of the original OSDs and it will not suffer from the problem. i looked...
Dave, ok, i'll wait for its return. the video issue doesn't seem consistant with this problem, but the RS232 OR 1PPS ABSENT does. i have noticed the gain...
i have had the same problem with a small cheap video monitor i was using for testing. it is broken now and i haven't had the problem on the 26" sony that i...
Vince, I only have the one kit version. When I had the 1PPS Absent messages, we determined it was due to the program on the GPS being corrupted. I reset the...

Vince, While we are discussing KIWI issues, I have an issue with my KIWI. I'm supposed to have to fields in the display that register thousandths of a second....

Tony, i am not sure what you mean by "registers". do you mean the even/odd millisecond time fields? how are you "seeing" that it is stuck? during realtime play...
