Overview

The Video Experimenter shield is an Arduino shield that lets you do all kinds of experiments with video. This is an easy-to-assemble kit.

Details

Overlay text and graphics onto a video signal from a camera, DVR, DVD player, VCR or any other source of composite video.
Capture low-res video image frames for display or video processing. Give your Arduino the gift of sight!
Perform object detection for computer vision projects.
Decode NTSC closed captioning or XDS (extended data services) data embedded in television broadcasts.
Works with NTSC (North America, parts of South America and Asia) or PAL (most of the rest of the world) television standards. For more info on what TV standards see the map here.
Uses digital pins 2, 6, 7, 8, and optionally 9. Uses analog pin 2.

Overlay works very well once R2 value lowered.

My application was to overlay accelerometer data over a video camera image. So not only could I see an event happen, I could also observe the measured acceleration at the time, the two being synchronized and saved to a video file. The experimenter board worked as expected, I just found the overlay was quite faint. To remedy this I needed to lower the value of R2 (previously 330ohm) down to about 100ohm to increase the white level of the overlay relative to the video information.
Thanks Tindie
