The Sony Exmor CMOS sensor and FCB-EV7500 camera module is now available from Stemmer Imaging. Operation at full HD of 1080p/60 and 1080p/50 is supported and 30x optical zoom is provided.
The visibility enhancer is a new feature which allows for adaptive contrast display in the captured image. Various contrast settings can be applied to different areas of the image. This facility is useful for use in mist or smoke as well as in scenes with a general wide dynamic range.
There is a wide dynamic range function which allows two frames to be captured at varying exposures at full resolution, to combine high and low contrast areas. This is extended to four frames when operating at 720p resolution. This feature can be combined with the visibility enhancer to give results in all lighting conditions.
Adaptive 2D and 3D noise reduction minimises motion blur, and the camera will automatically adapt the level of noise reduction depending on whether the area is static or moving.
