Freedom Scientific Announces $800 Promotion on New High Definition Video Magnifiers
High Definition for the Price of Standard Definition
(St. Petersburg, Florida - February 09, 2012)Freedom Scientific, the world leader in assistive technology for those who are blind or low vision, today announced an introductory promotion on their new TOPAZ® XL HD High Definition video magnifiers.
Until November 1, 2012, U.S. and Canadian customers can purchase a TOPAZ XL HD model for the same price as a TOPAZ XL standard definition model – that's a huge savings of $800 on any High Definition model.
"This is a great opportunity to obtain the latest technology at a substantial discount," said Brad Davis, Freedom Scientific's Vice President of Hardware. "Our new HD models offer improved efficiency, because the clear high-contrast image, even at magnification levels below 2x, can fit more text on the screen than any other video magnifier now available. For many users, this means they can display an entire standard page of text across a widescreen monitor and read comfortably without moving their document back and forth under the camera."
Other video magnifiers can share their monitor with a PC to save desk space, but the TOPAZ XL HD goes beyond that. With Freedom Scientific's optional GEM™ software, low vision users can bring the magnified image to their PC, control the TOPAZ XL HD from the keyboard, and work in multiple split screen views so that they see their magnified document and their application at the same time. Users can quickly capture multiple images, review them with a single keystroke, and select which ones to save.
The new TOPAZ XL HD line offers 20-inch, 22-inch, and 24-inch widescreen models, as well as 17-inch standard monitor and camera-only models.
