Yes, choose LVI monitor for best low vision adaptation. Our 23” monitor will perform best since it offers Full HD (1 920x1 080). HDMI and DVI cables are included, which means that conversion cable is needed for DisplayPort or other standard. VGA cable is not recommended.

Yes, software for both PC and Mac are included. TTS for PC and / or Mac is available as accessories.

Which Windows and Mac versions are recommended?

Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. MAC OS X Version 10.6 Snow Leopard or later.

ZoomText, SuperNova, iZoom and MagniLink iMax can be used. Windows Eyes and JAWS with some exceptions. 

Can MagniLink PRO be used both with USB 2 and USB 3?

Yes, we recommend USB 3 for best performance (60 full frames per second). Use of USB 2 might need extra cables, please contact LVI for more information. 

Is it possible to scan a full A4 page?

Yes. 

Can MagniLink PRO use WiFi for wireless access to iPad/Android tablets?

No. At the moment we think that WiFi isn’t offering enough speed and reliability for high quality camera picture. Note that using WiFi for transferring camera picture will “lock” the WiFi to the camera = it will not be possible to use WiFi for Internet access to the device.
