 The OSD is easy to use:

1)  Install good quality AAA batteries.  (For best results, we recommend using lithium batteries.)  The battery door slides out from the back. The best way to remove the cover is to turn  the unit over, place both thumbs on the battery cover and push toward the open end.  It should slide out with ease.  (Note the +/- signs to install the batteries correctly.

There is a video in the video section showing how to open the battery door on the Digital Dowsing website. www.DigitalDowsing.Com.

2)  There are 3 Jacks on the OSD; two RCA, for video connection and one for Data.

  • The RCA jack closest to the case edge is the Video OUTPUT. 
  • The RCA Jack in the center of the case is Video INPUT.
  • The recessed 1/8 plug is the Data input from an Ovilus X, Ovilus II or PX.

 3)  Connect your Video source (Camera) to the Video INPUT.  Connect your monitor or DVR to the Video  OUTPUT.  Connect your Ovilus X, Ovilus II or PX to the Data input jack.

 4)  Turn ON/Off switch to the ON position by sliding the switch to the center of the case.  (Turn off by sliding the switch to the OFF position.)

Once turned on you should see OSD Version 1.0 R across the top of the video screen.

When the Ovilus that is connected to the OSD speaks, you'll see the words appear across the bottom of the video.

Using The OSD with an Ovilus X

Connect the data cable, which came with the OSD, from the Data port on the OSD to the Data port of the Ovilus X.  The OSD Only displays words when the Ovilus X is in Dictionary Mode.  As the Ovilus X "speaks," the words will be displayed from left to right on the bottom of the connected video device's screen.

 If you modify your word list in the Ovilus X, you may upload the new list to the OSD in the same manner as uploading to the DTD device.  The Ovilus X requires firmware version 1.12 or higher to allow this upload.  See the firmware section for the Ovilus X for details.
