Advanced Wide Dynamic Range Cameras

With a newly developed CMOS sensor from Texas Instruments and a processor incorporating Iridix technology from Apical Limited, Sanyos new cameras have a dynamic range that far surpasses current wide dynamic cameras and set a new standard for the security industry. By adopting a radically new linear output method, Sanyo has created a security-optimized camera that delivers performance under varying light conditions and one which utilizes a new image processing algorithm for capabilities approaching the human eye. Sanyo developed the VCC-W877xP and VCC-WD887xP after extensive research and collaboration with recognized leaders in CMOS development and retina replication algorithm development, to provide the security industry with a wide dynamic camera of higher performance in all lighting conditions. Using the best-in-breed 1/3-inch CMOS sensor developed by Texas Instruments that is engineered to deliver more electronic signals per unit area for an extremely wide dynamic range, the VCC-W877xP and VCC-WD887xP cameras have 550TV lines of horizontal resolution with 480,000pixel-resolution to capture the smallest details. A new and advanced linear output method increases visibility under varying conditions of light, weather and time. The progressive exposure technology simultaneously outputs image signals in both low light and highly lit areas with no lag.
