Innovative Wide Dynamic Range Camera with a newly developed CMOS sensor from Texas Instruments and a processor incorporating Iridix technology

SANYO Introduces Innovative Wide Dynamic Range Camera at SECURITY 2008.

Delivers SANYO Advanced WDR For Better Color, More Details.

SANYO was introducing the VCC-W8775P and VCC-WD8875P cameras at SECURITY 2008. With a newly developed CMOS sensor from Texas Instruments and a processor incorporating Iridix technology from Apical Limited, these 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.

This new technology will redefine wide dynamic range cameras in the security industry. SANYO developed the VCC-W8775P and VCC-WD8875P 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, SANYO's new VCC-W8775P and VCC-WD8875P cameras have 550 lines of horizontal resolution with 480,000 pixel-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. Subjects are accurately reproduced with natural gradation including backlit subjects as well as images with an incorrect white balance background that previously could not be conventionally reproduced. The SANYO VCC-W8775P and VCC-WD8875P capture quick motion with exceptional stability compared to conventional time lag exposure composition methods.

Both the SANYO VCC-W8775P and VCC-WD8875P utilize iridix retina-morphic processing technology, provided by Apical Limited, for effective real-time dynamic range correction between source and output. The processing algorithm was developed following extensive research into the human optic system, for corrective effects that set a new reference standard. With dynamic adjustment of each individual pixel's luminance, images can be reproduced more realistically under every type of lighting condition. In addition, the camera incorporates a Bayer Mosaic RGB filter to deliver highly realistic and vivid colors with extremely accurate reproduction.

Additional features of the SANYO VCC-W8775P (color) and VCC-WD8875P (color, day/night) cameras include an automatic tracing white balancing system, minimum illumination of 0.8 lx, digital noise reduction, non-smear function, electronic shutter and iris and a high S/N ratio. The camera is compatible with commercially available CS mount lenses for maximum flexibility.
