Advantages of Dsp Camera Processing

The implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to the television, CCTV, medical, industrial and other cameras caused the numerous benefits to the camera picture processing. Even though the camera CCD (Charge Coupled Device) block is basically an analog device and a part of video signal processing is still performed in the analog domain the A/D converter at the CCD output transforms video signal into the digital domain that is offering numerous advantages. Most of these advantages can be seen in the television studio and field shooting applications of the cameras. Easy set-up, high reliability, precise adjustment, flexible signal processing and parameter setting are bringing the TV production possibilities to the another level. Many of the camera parameters like colorimetry, gamma, knee, highlight control and power consumption are significantly improved and many others processing features are invented by using DSP.
