On-screen display text, usually called as OSD, is commonly known as a text displaying useful information over a screen, monitor or TV, to show relevant and useful information to its viewers. It is commonly known as a menu on a variety of electronic devices and serves options to adjust the display or to select viewing options.
Generally, you might have seen this on your TV, when it displays the channel, the volume or even time. You might recognize this phenomenon by playing video games. Many times, this feature offers adjustments or setting information to its operator.
When it comes to pro audio-visual devices, this feature is used to define the input and output sources and possibly provide actual settings and extra information of the content itself. Professional implementations support text over the live background so the audience or the operators can see real time moving video in the background while watching static text in the foreground. The real time display of video content does not disturb the static characters.
