Panasonic manual Super Dynamic III - Exceeding the human eye

Super Dynamic III — Exceeding the human eye.

Panasonic introduces the Super Dynamic III Series, the first surveillance cameras able to think and act on their own.

They detect both external changes and attempts at interference and take the precise action required to prevent loss of vital scenes.

Superb image quality, the result of unprecedented image-processing performance, delivers a true picture needed for rock-solid identification.

With their extraordinary intelligence and active foresight, Super Dynamic III Series cameras bring amazing reality to 24-hour surveillance.

Cameras now provide a true picture for all surveillance purposes Cameras now think — and act — preventing loss of vital scenes

The Leading Original Technologies Behind Super Dynamic III

The double speed CCD outputs a 1/8,000 second short signal to capture the bright area of the image and a 1/60 second long signal to capture the shaded area. The enhanced DSP combines these signals to provide a dynamic range 128 times greater than a standard video camera.

Also newly developed in the DSP is “Area Free (Pixel Based) Natural Contrast Image Correction”, which optimizes the gray-scale image in response to the Input Signal Level of each individual Pixel. The Pixel Based 128x Dynamic Range delivers a smoother natural reproduction of high contrast images, e.g. heavy backlight conditions, regardless of object position, size, shape, or number.

When switching from color to B/W mode, the WV-CP480 Series automatically adjusts the CCD position to achieve the return to perfect focus. Blurring caused in previous cameras by removing the IR cut filter is eliminated. Then, when the camera switches back from B/W to color mode, the CCD automatically returns to the correct

Our newly developed DSP extracts Motion Vector, Motion Area, Edge/Frame Difference and Image Sampling data from the image and sends that data to the new Image Analysis Algorithm. The Algorithm is embodied in the proprietary microprocessor that performs the complex processing required

by Super Dynamic III ’s amazing intelligent functions.
