8888 Contrast says its VIA 1-sensor camera, a FPGA-based development platform, removes the need for frame grabbers and external hardware. The product utilises the company’s Elan processing engine to help users tailor the system to suit their needs.


The company is also showcasing a customisable software development kit (SDK) which includes the ARC 2-sensor camera system for projects which require more data.

According to Contrast, ARC provides real-time high-dynamic range (HDR) video which expands contrast ratios and deepens colour palettes. It is expected to capture up to 13 stops of dynamic range and streams live HDR video which can be used to enhance imaging applications.

The SDK also includes the LUX HDR camera system which comes with three sensors and captures up to 18 stops of dynamic range on demand. It provides enhanced detail even in demanding lighting conditions, the company adds.

    Marseille’s city authority has added the monitoring of a second tunnel to the existing network with a new approach towards video management. Measuring 1.5km in length, the double-deck Prado Sud tunnel extends Marseille’s existing 2.5km Prado Carénage tunnel towards the southern part of the city. While it was logical to use a common control room and to use the latest detection and monitoring systems in the new tunnel, it was deemed too disruptive and costly to completely upgrade the existing tunnel.

Fifty years on from its invention of the microchip, US company Texas Instruments (TI) has compressed the technology into a surface area of just 4.3mm. As such, it forms the heart of a new Pico Digital Light Processing (DLP) system that is set to transform travel information delivery for millions of users on the move - by making it projectable.
