An On-Screen-Display with only 5 components !

Contents

PicoOSD : a PIC-based simple and cheap OSD

Let me introduce PicoOSD to you with this short video clip :


The idea of this circuit is to push an 8-bit PIC to the limits to build a cheap video superimposer : MCU extracts PAL sync in real-time and add a line text to the video.

If you like it, please see also my Pic Pal Video Library, to turn a PIC18 into a black and white PAL video generator.

Circuit Schematic

PicoOSD-schematic.jpg

  • The PIC12 MCU is slightly overclocked : 25 MHz instead of 20 MHz max
  • There is no signal mixer : output signal is directly added to input signal, not very clean but fine for the demo

C Source code
