Description
The Pyser-SGI Electronic Image Stabilisation Unit uses the very latest
electronic image processing technology to reduce camera shake, leaving operators with clear and
steady video. It increases the effective operational range of high-zoom surveillance cameras where
the slightest mechanical movement can introduce picture shake.
The unit is simply installed in-line with the viewing monitor and is
compatible with either live or pre-recorded video. It operates by employing ultra-fast video motion
analysis techniques to remove the shake in real-time, resulting in stable video, which is far easier
to view. The Electronic Image Stabilisation Unit can also improve the performance of digital
compression systems, such as Internet or ISDN video links, as stable images compress more
efficiently.
The Pyser-SGI Electronic Image Stabilisation Unit operates by locking
onto detail within the incoming video to differentiate between shake and background. Once locked,
each video frame is repositioned to remove any shake resulting in clear and steady video. This is
achieved by complex software algorithms running on the very latest multimedia hardware chip - the
Philips Nexperia®. The unit has been specially developed to cope with demanding image stabilisation
situations such as noisy video sources (eg low-light cameras), movement of large objects within the
scene and operation with pan, tilt and zoom installations.
It is supplied as a strongly recommended optional accessory for PROMS
and other long focal length cameras and camera systems manufactured by Pyser-SGI and is fully
compatible with any product giving a PAL composite video signal, both live and pre-recorded.
