Operations Manual for CL-OSD using G-OSD flashed on the HK Mini OSD

System w/GPS Module - PRODUCT ID: 07400020

Prepared by: R Stephen Legge

This document is my attempt of putting together a Operations Manual for the Mini OSD

System w/GPS Module after it has been flashed with the G-OSD files from the CL-OSD project.

No programming changes have been made to the software. I set my camera video output

standard to PAL.

The developers of CL-OSD are to be congratulated and highly admired for the efforts they

have freely undertaken to provide the open source software to turn this barely useful

hardware product into a nice OSD system at a bargain price. In this as in countless other

instances, software provides most of the value of the hardware product. I must admit that I

am a retired software systems development manager.

Noted: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Very Important - Your camera must be outputting PAL format video (I am using the 808#16 V2 Keychain cam where I can set the video output standard to PAL), unless you are able to change the appropriate code lines and recompile.
