Magnification/ Assistive Devices


Desktop Video Magnifiers (CCTV Systems)

 
A CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) video magnifier is an electronic low‑vision device that uses a camera and a display screen to enlarge printed text, photos, and everyday objects.
 
It typically includes a movable XY table (the sliding tray you place paper on), adjustable magnification levels, and high‑contrast viewing modes to improve clarity for people who are blind and low vision.
