Video Overlay IC

[sturgessb]

Hi guys

Does anyone have any experience with Video overlay solution? I'm looking for something (either an IC, or a breakout board) thats small and lightweight.

I just want to output a few lines of data onto the PAL video signal, maybe an artificial horizon if possible.

Serial interface would be ok, but I2C/SPI would be better.

Any suggestions... ?

Thanks

Ben

Here is a website for ready made solutions. I am not sure if any of the products will be of use to you but they seem to have a lot of overlay solutions.

If these aren't going to work for you here are some links I have compiled for a project I have on hold.

I started with this link

Then derived these links which seem to be the most pointed and helpful.

The Hitt consulting site (HittConsulting.com) says they are no longer selling products. However, those products are now sold through Sparkfun.
