Simple controls, always within reach
Synergy's easy to use, intuitive controls are conveniently located right under the display. With one press of a button you can quickly change from showing the image in full colour to viewing text in an enhanced contrast mode. Use the precise zoom control to adjust the magnification in defined steps to level that best matches your needs.
Uncompromised Image
Synergy has been optimized to display a high quality image irrespective of the material being viewed. Whether reading a magazine page with one of the 16 enhanced contrast modes, looking at a colour picture, checking the ingredients on a can of soup or cutting your finger nails, Synergy provides a superior image. The 22" wide screen display provides extra brightness without distortion.
Smooth Reading
The reading table provides smooth quiet movement in all directions. The simple, easy to use brake lets you lock the table in place in any location. By moving the same control only part of the way you can add additional friction to the table movements to help in following text from one line to the next.
Environmentally Friendly
Synergy has been designed to complement your living or working environment. The colours have been chosen to blend into the surroundings. The small footprint ensures that Synergy takes only the minimum of space.
Configurable to your needs
Synergy is available with a 19" flat LCD monitor, a 22" widescreen or for use with your own monitor or TV. The optional advanced control panel gives you the added features of a page locator light, lines and blinds and computer screen sharing. To best meet your viewing needs the LCDs can be easily adjusted up and down, swivelled left and right and tilted forward and back.
Created by people who care
Synergy is a result of a collaborative effort between HumanWare and RNIB to create a quality high value desktop electronic magnifier. HumanWare is focused on enhancing the lives of people and has been developing products for the blind and those with low vision for more than 20 years. RNIB, with roots going back over a century, is the UK's leading charity helping people with sight problems. Together, HumanWare and RNIB identified the need for a new system to help restore independence to people with sight loss.
