Inside the 170° wide angle Sony® cameras, a high-end DSP (Digital Signaling Processor) is at work that handles automatic day-night switching, white balance, and dynamic exposure correction via DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range – the contrast in illumination between sunny and shady spots at sea is an enormous challenge for cameras).
Specially double-IR coated camera optics with low focal width (for full field of view) are embedded in elaborately hand-crafted casings of extremely rugged, submarine-grade aluminum. The circuit board is completely encapsulated and the casing especially water-proofed. Using a high precision laser, each camera lense is gauged and construction-related distortions are corre...
