AcroLite is Full CCTV With Smaller Footprint

Enhanced Vision's AcroLite CCTV.
Enhanced Vision today announced its new AcroLite CCTV, its latest desktop video magnifier.

My first thought was, have the makers of the pocket-sized Pebble, the full-sized Acrobat, and the portable Amigo and Transformer discovered an audience for yet another sized electronic magnifier?

Apparently so. While it isn't exactly portable - the 17-inch model weighs 15 pounds - its smaller footprint may help low-vision users with a dearth of desk space who need full CCTV functionality.

The AcroLite's auto-focus camera is mounted above the flat-panel LCD screen, which is connected to a metal base. The camera is detachable for use at multiple workstations and also folds back for easy transport in an optional rolling carrying case.

The 17-inch model occupies a space 14.5- by 8 inches. The 19-inch, about 16- by 8 inches

One immediate advantage I see is price: At $1,945, the smaller AcroLite is just $250 more than the Amigo handheld, and offers higher resolution and greater reading comfort.
