Portable SSTV is here! Kenwood's new VC-H1
Visual Communicator combines an image-scan converter, CCD camera and LCD
monitor in a compact battery-operated unit. Simply hook it up to your
transceiver to start sending and receiving color images over the air.
IDEAL FOR OUTDOOR SSTV:
Until now, for anyone interested in SSTV (slow-scan television),
portability has not been an option. But thanks to Kenwood and component
miniaturization the VC-H1 is not only small enough for handheld use but
it runs on 4 AA batteries so you can take it anywhere. This makes it
ideal for fielddays, special events, disaster communication and even
fishing trips.
FULL COMPATIBILITY:
The VC-H1 can be connected to any transceiver with just a cable, and it
offers full compatibility with all of the standard SSTV formats. Uploads/Downloads
are quick and easy and the images are sharp and clear.
ALL-IN-ONE DESIGN:
In addition to the detachable 1/4-inch CCD camera, the VC-H1 feature a
1.8-inch color TFT (thin film transistor)-type display. As well as
viewing incoming pictures, you can review your own prior to transmission.
The built-in microphone & speaker can be used in place of a separate
speaker-microphone for your transceiver.
IMAGE MEMORY:
Up to 10 pictures can be stored in memory. This allows you to
compare and pick the best shot to send. You can also store incoming
pictures and protect them from unintentional deletion.
COMPUTER CONNECTION:
One of the great features of the VC-H1 is the ability to work with a
personal computer. Hook it up to the RS-232C port on your desk computer
or laptop using the optional connection kit (includes Microsoft®
Windows 95 software) and you can save pictures (in JPEG format) that you
send and receive. You can then cut and paste using standard graphic
software, or even superimpose your own text. What's more, you can
actually control the VC-H1 from your computer.
