Visionary Solutions MOD-AOSD – Advanced OSD License for PacketAV Decoders

Product Overview

The Visionary Solutions MOD-AOSD is an Advanced On-Screen Display add-on license module for PacketAV decoders, expanding the built-in OSD text overlay capability with full customization of how messages appear on screen. For digital signage deployment, emergency notification, and conference room AV integration, the license upgrades a decoder's standard text overlay into a presentation-quality messaging layer. It is a software license only — no additional hardware is installed at the decoder.

Product Description

PacketAV decoders such as the D4100 include dynamic OSD text overlay as a standard feature, enabling alerts, announcements, special instructions, clocks, timers, and schedules to be displayed over live video. By default, decoders ship with basic OSD functionality and limited text display options. The MOD-AOSD license unlocks the advanced OSD feature set, adding control over font, font size, position, and color so on-screen messaging can match corporate branding, meet readability requirements at distance, and avoid covering critical screen content. This matters in commercial deployment scenarios: a campus-wide emergency alert pushed to every display needs high-contrast, large-format text; a boardroom room-status overlay needs to sit discreetly in a corner; digital signage messaging needs to respect brand typography. Because the capability lives in the decoder itself, no external graphics processor, signage player, or keying hardware is required — the overlay is rendered directly on the decoder output across the AV over IP system. Licensing is applied per decoder, and activation keys are issued by the manufacturer for the target units. Creation Networks coordinates the license fulfillment for your registered PacketAV decoders as part of the purchase.
