From the Netherlands comes the STRIX, a handheld, full-color electronic magnifier with an integrated 7” TFT display and an auto-focus camera. Assistance with reading, writing and far vision have now been uniquely combined in the STRIX. This groundbreaking device is the first product on the market that offers the benefits of flexible portability.

The STRIX will enable the user to carry out a host of everyday tasks: reading newspapers, consulting timetables at stations and airports, reading text on consumer products in shops, or participating actively in business meetings and presentations at work.

Fully portable, the STRIX can also be connected to a television and to a desktop/notebook.

The STRIX magnifies from 4x to 22x on its integrated 7” TFT screen. In addition to a full color mode (Photo), the STRIX has a black-on-white mode (Positive) and a white-on-black mode (Negative).

With its built-in writing position, the STRIX can be tilted at an angle, facilitating the writing and signing of documents.

The unique feature of the STRIX is the help it offers with far vision. Distant objects can be magnified and viewed easily, bringing countless advantages in many different situations. Be it at school, at work, or socially, STRIX users can actively participate in their environments from now on. A freeze function is included and captured images can be viewed when convenient.

There are the following accessories available for the STRIX:

A “Frame Grabber” allows the STRIX to be connected to a desktop/notebook via the USB port (USB 2.0 port required). STRIX users can then display the text on the computer, either using the full screen or split screen.

There is also a Stand available that increases user abilities at home, school and/or office. In its lower position (the Reading Position), the stand enables the user to move text or other underneath the device. When doing this, the STRIX is a very room-saving replacement for the stationary home CCTVs. In the Far Vision position, the user can look at objects at a distance.

The STRIX, in combination with the “Frame Grabber” software and Stand, are the ideal package for independent students.

User Testimonial for STRIX

"Hello Donna,

"I wanted to thank you again for showing me the STRIX at the NFB convention in Tampa in May. It so wonderful. I can use it to watch PowerPoint presentations, to review documents at our customer's offices and at our conference table and so much more. I just love how portable it is.

"I love the way it can be used for close and distance viewing and I love being able to write with it. That is a big bonus over other portable CCTVs. Thank you again for demonstrating it to me.

"Take care."
