Vario Ultra 20/40

The VISIO 24 offers you all the functions that a modern screen reader must have. Use the rotary control to determine the magnification; the VISIO 24 takes over the display at the push of a button. Using simple and easy-to-use function keys, you can change the image and text display according to your requirements. The large cross table supports you in line guidance for easier reading. There is enough space between the cross table and the camera to easily turn pages.
