video charachter generation

Hello group,

I'm looking for a way to use a stamp to overlay text data onto a video
signal. For example, a stamp could be monitoring room temperature and
overlaying that info over a security camera feed of the room. So when
you looked at the monitor you would see footage of the room, as well as
a read out of the temperature on top.

Any advice on an easy and cheap way to do this? [noparse]:)[/noparse]

thanks!

Mark

    Parallax used to sell a 3rd-party product for this -- don't know if they
    still sell it or not.

    Take a look at http://www.icircuits.com/osd-232.htm
    it uses Serial communications. The price is really not all that bad
    either.
