Our CCTV devices return
independence and privacy and allow people to once again read, write, take up
hobbies and handiwork, and perform personal care tasks such as manicure. Document Magnifiers (often
referred to as CCTVs) can be used by people with vision as low as 1%,
enabling them to write cheques and fill in forms, as well as read all manner
of printed or handwritten materials – including personal correspondence,
bills and bank statements, recipes, magazines…. but also labels on cans,
medicines, foodstuffs and so on. Magnifiers can be either integrated desktop
units such as the Aladdin range, or portable units such as the Magnicam. If
vision is too poor for CCTVs, or if the person is totally blind, it is still
possible to access printed material, using a simple talking scanner called
the POET Compact. |

Aladdin Companion is a compact and
lightweight (9Kg) integrated CCTV that can magnify up to 17 X on its built-in
9 inch screen. Larger
magnifications can be achieved by connecting the Companion to a standard TV
set. |

Aladdin Classic is a simple to use electronic document magnifier, and is the most popular low-vision reading device in the World. Any material placed on the 'moveable table' is magnified and enhanced and shown on Aladdin's built in screen. Standard 12 point newspaper print can be magnified up to letters that are three inches tall on-screen – a magnification of 50 X. A simple lever selects high contrast, or reduced glare settings, and the same lever allows reading in the normal mode (black print on a white background) or the negative mode - white print on a black background. |

Aladdin PRO PLUS has the same simple controls as the Aladdin Classic but has a bigger magnification (up to 50 X). In addition to the standard Aladdin controls the Pro Plus has Line Markers, which may assist some people who have difficulty keeping their reading straight, and Shadow Masking, which may help people who suffer from glare, as it reduces the high contrast section to a narrow band in the centre of the screen, dimming out the remainder. The Aladdin PRO Plus is a good choice for people with strong macular degeneration, or whose sight may be continuing to deteriorate. |

Aladdin RAINBOW is a full colour CCTV similar in styling to the standard Aladdin, but with the ability to magnify documents, photographs and so on in full colour. RAINBOW also has different text colour combinations to assist with reading text - yellow on blue, green on black, amber on black and white on black. The RAINBOW has a 50X magnification - 12 point newsprint is magnified to 3 ½ inches tall. |

Aladdin ULTRA has a very large magnification of 60X, with a monochrome screen size of 17 inches. Like the PRO PLUS, the ULTRA has Line Markers and Shadow Masking, and is suitable for people requiring the largest magnifications, or those who wish to use smaller magnifications but fit more text on the screen. |
|
|
Aladdin ATLAS is a full colour CCTV similar to the Rainbow, but with a choice of screen sizes – from 14 to 20 inches – and this flexibility means that even if sight should significantly deteriorate, larger screens can be used for bigger magnification at only a relatively small cost. Like the Rainbow, the ATLAS has a choice of alternative text colours. |

Aladdin GENIE is a full colour combined CCTV similar to the OPAL with a choice of screen sizes – from 14 to 20 inches. The screen can be mounted on top of the camera, or side by side with it, and the same can also be used as a computer monitor. The Genie can also split-screen the image from the camera and the computer. 24 alternative text colour combinations are possible, as well as Line Marking and Masking. The Genie can also be connected to a large TV for maximum magnifications (75X). The Genie has MANUAL or AUTOFOCUS that is easily selectable. |
