At NAB 2015, which runs from 11 to 16 April in Las Vegas, DVEO will demonstrate
the broadcast standard version of their miniature 1080p HD camera, featuring
29.97/59.94 frames per second in addition to 30/60 fps.
The GNAT 1080p 60 is a tiny 1080p 60 fps or 59.94 fps camera with HD-SDI or full 3
Gbps output. The 2.1 megapixel CMOS camera is just 1.66 x 1.14 x 1.14 inches
(42.1 x 29 x 29 millimeters) and weighs approximately 1.41 ounces (40 grams).
The GNAT features a built-in on screen displays (OSD) joystick and a 1/3 inch
progressive scan CMOS sensor.
The DSP chip based camera is available in cased or board versions and a broadcast
standard version is available with 29.97/59.94 fps. All versions of the camera
output NTSC or PAL video. The cased version ships with a tripod adapter, universal
power supply, and control cable.
Laszlo Zoltan, vice president of DVEO commented, “The ultra-compact GNAT is ideal
for situations where large HD cameras are impractical or obtrusive. Its sharp, high
quality HD video makes it perfect for sports broadcasting, reality television, and
electronic news gathering. It is also suitable for military and law enforcement
applications such as unmanned vehicle or robot vision or situational awareness for
subs, airplanes, and ships.”
The GNAT features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), which allows it to filter the intense
back light surrounding a subject; and thus enhance the ability to distinguish features
and shapes in the image. The GNAT also features Automatic Gain Control (AGC),
which automatically adjusts the incoming signal to the proper level for display or
recording; and improves performance in low light conditions.
Other features include Dynamic Motion Detection (8 zones, up to 1980 blocks),
digital zoom, and defog. The GNAT also supports brilliant DNR (Digital Noise
Reduction) technologies like DNR, 3D-NR and 2D+3D.
