Q:What is ROAD
MAP of MINTRON's DSP? What is
the next exciting product?
A: Since 1999 Mintron had developed the third generation of DSP that shocked the CCTV industry
field.
More:
The 1st
Generation DSP
The
1st generation was designed to have:
6 ms white balance
to overcome the color rolling problem that exists on every DSP color camera. DSPs made by other Japanese makers
normally take 150
ms to achieve white balance. MINTRON's M86
DSP with 50 times faster speed successfully offers zero color rolling
cameras. This is the first time in the world and is the only one in the world up to date.
reduce power consumption from
12V/350ma to 12V/85mA ( from 3500mW to 900
mW ) With the significantly lower power,
the Alpha cameras become useable for spy cameras that are running under battery
power.
Increase DSP band width from
8~9 bits to 10 bits. With 10-bit DSP Alpha cameras can deal with 4 times of
information and allow plenty of room for gamma correction. Therefore, the alpha cameras
have the functions of adjusting 4 steps of gray scale that other CCTV cameras do
not have. ( bright, brighter and the brightest, and dark darker and the darkest )
Super BLC
is an invention to calculate exposure. It tracks the main objects and
adjust its shutter and AGC to provide the best exposure despite the strong back ground
lighting.
The 2nd Generation
The 2nd generation is a development for:
Vertical
Drive Synchronization and be ready for line
lock feature.
Power Consumption is
further reduced to 12V/65mA or 750mW.
The 3rd Generation
The 3 rd generation is a major step that includes:
Zoom
: 1~2X
digital zoom or 2~256X zoom
OSD
: Digital interactive
on screen display for brilliant OSD character for control of shutter
AGC BLC zoom.
48-zone BLC : To divide CCD into 48 mini zones and store exposure
information in 48 registers and fully
programmable.
The 4th Generation
Is
available from the end of 2001. The 4th generation DSP provides:
12
bit band width to cope with most demanding picture
quality that is required by studio camera.
Noise cancellation circuit
to further upgraded S/N ration
to record breaking 75dB.
General locking circuit
will allow synchronization of Vertical horizontal and color burst.
Digital encoder
for all format of analog video and digital video output.
