About the project

Arduino/ESP32 library for controlling the hardware OSD engine of the AMT630A chip in composite-video LCD monitors: text, glyphs, 4bpp bitmaps, palettes, blending and window scaling.

Useful for

Draw text and custom glyphs over composite video on an AMT630A monitor
Convert GIF/PNG to 4bpp OSD bitmaps with the Python converter
Automate entering the hidden factory menu via 74HC4066 and ESP32

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
