Hyogo, Japan - Times Corporation, a manufacturer and distributor of video magnifiers(CCTV), announces the launch of the Assist Vision Slider - a New, All-In-One, Portable Video Magnifier(CCTV).

Images can be magnified from 8.5X to 17.5X and can be viewed in color, black and white or reversed black and white modes. The unit can also connect to a TV Monitor for even larger magnification. Contrast may also be adjusted for even clearer images.

The Assist Vision Slider is so easy to use and includes color-coded tactile controls and rollers for easy maneuverability. And no need for any additional writing stands or batteries - the Assist Vision Slider has been designed with an in-built writing space, for signing checks and other writing needs, and an internal battery for maximum portability. The battery lasts for up to 2 hours and can be recharged while still in operation.
