UltraView KTC-XP3
is the next generation in wide dynamic range
cameras. Like the first generation KTC-XP1, the UltraView XP3 uses
the latest XPosure™ image analysis technology to provide world-
leading performance in challenging lighting conditions combined with
dramatically improved low-light performance.
XPosure technology optimizes the
exposure for each pixel on the sensor,
showing details in shadows and highlights.
This performance allows every detail to
be captured accurately even in the most
difficult lighting conditions such as lobbies,
loading docks, retail applications and ATMs
with bright backlight.
Unlike traditional CCD cameras, which
can only read the light hitting the sensor
once, XPosure™ can read the sensor
several dozen times per second and
optimize each pixel’s exposure level. In
effect, each pixel gets its own analog-
to-digital (ADC) converter. The result is
a dynamic range 100 times better than
standard CCD cameras–over 95 db in
normal operations compared to 48 to 60
db on other cameras. Signal-to-noise
ratios are also dramatically better with
the UltraView XP3. And unlike CCD WDR
solutions, XPosure performs without
dropping frames or frame averaging.
But the biggest advance in the UltraView
XP3 is its low-light performance. The
XP3 provides image analysis that can be
specifically tuned for each application.
Features such as tunable gain stepping
and individual color saturation sliders
allow fine-tuning of the KTC-XP3 to fit
specific needs. Several pre-made profiles
allow a user to set the camera up for the
majority of situations, while intuitive and
easy-to-use tuning features the XP3 to fit
a range of requirements.
Another revolutionary feature of the
UltraView XP3 is dual-temperature
calibration. All cameras get hot, and
when they do, they perform differently
than when they are first set up. The
KTC-XP3 is dual-temperature calibrated
at the factory, so the camera knows
how to adjust gain, white balance and
other settings based on its environment.
The camera is then able to get the best
possible images in any situation and at
any temperature.
The XP3 is 520 TVL, so images will
appear in high resolution and with the
crispest possible detail. For low-light
images, the XP3 can be fine-tuned for
gain control, and can be set to switch to
low-light friendly black-and-white mode.
Sensitivity on the XP3 is an amazing 0.5
lux at the sensor (50 IRE).
Like the KTC-XP1, the KTC-XP3 features
dual analog BNC output, universal 12
VDC / 24 VAC power input, Digital OSD
and the ability to switch from NTSC to
PAL on the fly.
