Description:

VIVID® is an electronic vehicle tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) designed to monitor and overlay tire pressures and tire temperatures onto an incoming camera video source or self-generated background screen. VIVID® monitors pressure in tires via wireless electronic sensors that read pressures and transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal to VIVID® which displays those pressure readings.
 
VIVID® is capable of displaying all current tire pressures and temperatures on demand, whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. VIVID® is a monitoring system and will not prevent tires from losing pressure or failing. However, low pressure is the leading cause of premature tire failure and VIVID® can provide early notice of potential problems and assist in maintaining proper pressurization in vehicle tires. VIVID® can be used on all pneumatic tires. Up to 40 tires can be monitored and displayed simultaneously. Notifications include low tire pressure, high tire pressure, high tire temperature, sensor low battery, and missing sensor. VIVID® is capable of reading pressures from 10 PSI to 199 PSI with two low pressure alert levels, the first at 12.5% and the second at 25% drop in pressure. A high pressure alert occurs if a 24 PSI increase is detected. VIVID® has numerous diagnostic features such as tire sensor signal strengths and packet counts for troubleshooting.
 
VIVID® is easy to setup and configure via video on-screen menus.
 
An optional external malfunction indication lamp (MIL) with remote control pushbutton can be installed for additional driver and/or maintenance manager notifications of tire issues.
