Wolfvision's 1-CCD Vizualizers


WolfVision released a major upgrade to its high end 1-CCD visualizer models VZ-9, VZ-27plus and VZ-C12. The new visualizers feature 1-CCD camera with 1280 x 960 pixels at 30 frames per second. This is native SXGA resolution with an aspect ratio of 4:3. The camera also outputs native 720p HD (high definition) with 1280 x 720 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9. Using a display device with 1280 x 960 (or more) pixels, 820 lines resolution are visible on your screen. But even when the image is downscaled by the visualizer to XGA and output on an XGA display device the resolution is still around 740 lines. This is a much higher resolution than a native 1-CCD XGA camera can provide. The high-end scaler of the visualizers VZ-9plus, VZ-27plus and VZ-C12 can scale the picture at the image source.
