Zebra2 from Point Grey

Point Grey has announced what it claims as breakthrough in innovation with its new multi-interfaced Zebra2 camera line. The Zebra2 fulfils a growing demand in traffic and surveillance installations that require real-time viewing in addition to post-processing such as ALPR/ANPR and incident analysis. Available in both 2 MP and 5MP CCD models, the Zebra2 provides the ability to simultaneously stream low latency uncompressed video over HD-SDI as well as send compressed or uncompressed images through a Gigabit

541 Point Grey has announced what it claims as breakthrough in innovation with its new multi-interfaced Zebra2 camera line. The Zebra2 fulfils a growing demand in traffic and surveillance installations that require real-time viewing in addition to post-processing such as ALPR/ANPR and incident analysis.

Available in both 2 MP and 5MP CCD models, the Zebra2 provides the ability to simultaneously stream low latency uncompressed video over HD-SDI as well as send compressed or uncompressed images through a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

The Zebra2 boasts a second breakthrough innovation with a new proprietary image processing pipeline. Designed to capture high quality, colour rich images in a variety of dynamically lit indoor and outdoor environments, Point Grey’s new image processing technology maximises image quality through advanced noise reduction, tone mapping, and colour interpolation techniques. The new image pipeline combined with Sony CCD imagers allows the Zebra2 to capture crisp images of fast moving objects. “Currently, our customers use two separate cameras; one to view low-latency live feed and one for image processing,” explains Michael Gibbons, director of sales and marketing. “With the Zebra2, these two needs are fulfilled with a single, high quality camera at an unbeatable price point.”
