    I wish it could and sadly the BOB-4 is only white characters. Eagletree makes a text inserter with color text however they will not disclose how to talk to it.

    The reason the maxim chip was going to get expensive for me was
    I was planning to use 3 of them,
    one on each of the RGB signals,
    so I should have got colour, but at a cost.

    It is possible to get dedicated chip, but you will need much more hardware.
    Old CRT monitors have color OSD chip, which is I2C driven (forgot model, but you can find it with ease). The main issue is that it operates with RGB data. So to use it with your video in video out, you will need to "disassemble" your video signal, add OSD and "assemble". The above mentioned maxim chip passes color without problems, I've been using it with PICBASIC (adapted basic stamp code)

    Hi All!
    So far all I have found is the STV5730A chip. Mainly my Google search abilities seemed to have become limited. Blackboxcamera did have a unit some time ago. I did call STMicro and contacted Blackboxcamera and struck out. Someone must have something on this chip?

    Hi F1CHF,
    WB6NSN (Ed/Ramius) here! Thank you and I did by some as well as an SO28 to DIP adapter board. Did you have any luck with you code? How about with your antenna pointing system? I read a very old post of yours and if you did not get your antenna system to work then you might want to use the old trick of using a pot with a fixed resistor across it!
