In early March, Freedom Scientific introduced the latest in its ONYX line of magnification cameras. The Deskset 19 is very similar to the Deskset 17. The difference between the two is the monitor size.
The Deskset 19 consists of a camera and rotating arm that attaches to a 19-inch flat panel monitor. The camera can be mounted on either side of the monitor. IT comes with a rolling carrying case for easy portability.
The ONYX Deskset is a good solution for providing persons with low vision magnification on the go. The Deskset 19 magnifies up to 95 X.
The deskset has three modes. Distance view allows the user to read blackboards and slides in a large room such as a lecture hall or convention hall. Document view allows the user to read everything from books to labels to the daily newspaper. Self view gives the user a powerful magnification mirror for daily tasks such as shaving and applying makeup.
The Deskset 19 is designed to increase the independence of the busy student or working professional with low vision. The camera is packed with features such as various color modes, focus lock, brightness adjustment and freeze frame. It even comes with a remote control.
