Panasonic ASIS 2009 i-Pro expansion

October 7, 2009 At ASIS 2009, Panasonic showed off its MEGA Super Dynamic camera technology and H.264 compression, as well as a new video management server that accommodates both IP and legacy system devices. The i-Pro WV-NW502S vandal-resistant fixed dome and WV-NP502 box megapixel cameras incorporate the company’s MEGA SD camera technology with 128x dynamic range, Adaptive Black Stretch technology to make dark areas more visible, and face detection technology to better identify subjects. These cameras also provide streaming of H.264, MPEG-4 and JPEG compression formats. The progressive-scan CCD provides full-frame-rate video up to 30 f/s in 1.3 megapixel mode, and 3.0 megapixel video (in JPEG format) at 15 f/s. The Day/Night function features high sensitivity at 1.0 lux in colour and 0.08 lux in B/W at f1.4 in the 1.3 megapixel mode. Auto Back Focus (ABF) ensures easy installation and stable focus in colour and B/W modes. Adaptive Digital Noise Reduction ensures quality video. Also on display were the WV-NW502S, which includes a dehumidification device for various weather conditions, and PMPU1000 System Management Server (which supports Panasonic’s PFW950 GUI client software).
