NewsFebruary 21, 2017
SAN DIEGO. At the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) WEST 2017 conference, ZMicro officials announced the availability of its new Insight real-time video enhancement system. Engineers designed Insight - a rugged appliance - to improve live video visual clarity in ground control stations, airborne surveillance, and other intelligence, surveillance, reconnoissance (ISR) applications.
Jason Wade, president of Micro, says "Customers told us they wanted a solution that they could drop into existing ISR operations. So, we designed the Insight rugged appliance for plug and play installation into any existing ISR architecture, for example, a ground control station.”
ZMicro’s patented algorithms use all the image information and automatically adjust contrast and color to improve visibility and highlight important details. The system uses a high performance heterogeneous multiprocessor architecture to ensure no discernible latency.
The Insight system enables users to adjust algorithmic settings, helping to hone in on specific areas of interest, or extract desired details. Additionally, the system offers the ability to apply chroma-key overlays such as GPS data and supports H.264 decoding of IP video streams. It has intuitive controls for on-the-fly enhancement adjustments and includes a quick snapshot tool for saving JPEG images.
