eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction (XDNR)

The ability of a camera to deliver noise and ghost free images under low light conditions is fast becoming an essential requirement for IP CCTV imaging solutions.

Optimum clarity for a perfect hybrid solution

The delivery of high quality images under low light conditions presents numerous technical challenges. Increased image noise levels resulting from signal amplification and image ghosting caused by slow shutter speeds are commonly encountered issues when using existing CCTV technology within a low light environment.

Recognising the importance of noise and ghost free images in low light, Sony has developed its unique eXcellent Dynamic Noise Reduction (XDNR) technology specifically for the IP CCTV environment.

The image below demonstrates how XDNR technology brings you optimum clarity. The image on the left hand side is noisy and edges of the vehicle are blurred. The right hand image shows how noise can be successfully reduced - and the clarity is significatly enhanced.

Eliminating motion blur

XDNR utilizes advanced 2DNR and 3DNR signal processing methods in order to remove random and fixed noise and image ghosting, eliminating the motion blur normally associated with the capture of moving images in low light. Delivering superior image quality in low light, SONY XDNR offers the optimum in noise reduction performance for IP CCTV solutions.

Sony HD SNC-RH PTZ cameras and SNT-EX/EP encoder solutions offer XDNR as a standard feature. Using SNC–RH PTZ cameras combines the quality of high definition video with the superior noise and ghost free images offered by Sony’s unique XDNR technology. By migrating to the Sony range of SNT-EX/EP encoders, XDNR performance can be added to any existing cameras and offers the perfect hybrid solution.

XDNR technology from Sony offers the optimum in low light imaging performance. Available from a range of products the technology is ideal for new or existing installations for superior image capture in low light conditions.
