Image Science by DxO

Carl Zeiss chooses “Image Science By DxO” to ensure superior image quality for its new Digital Camera Eyepiece product line.

DxO Image Signal Processing (ISP) transforms the Zeiss Camera-Eyepiece for Digiscopes into full-fledge digital imaging products ensuring superb color, high contrast and sharpness in the images they produce.

A Digiscope is a spotting scope (or portable telescope) combined with a digital camera commonly used by wild-life photographers and outdoors enthusiasts because of the 10X to 250X magnification that delivers extreme close-up images.

Digiscopes are popular for birdwatching, nature study and telephotography. Achieving the requisite image quality for this technically advanced device is a real challenge. DxO ISP matches the tough technical specifications to deliver the best results for Zeiss’ first digital camera system.

DxO ISP:

Brings highest level of image quality to support the power of the Carl Zeiss’ optical system.
Adds image capture flexibility and ease-of-use by offering several shooting modes and settings

DxO ISP derives from the precise calibration of the sensor and optics, a core expertise at DxO Labs, to deliver:

On-the-fly Raw Conversion:
- DxO Raw Converter, a breakthrough demosaicing algorithm that minimize image artefacts when converting the raw file to a visible image.
Great Colors, with:
- DxO White Balance, based upon sensing and processing multiple zones in the image, achieves optimal color rendering for any outdoor lighting source.
- DxO Color Management achieves optimal color rendering and offers several shooting modes to faithfully reproduce colors.
Best local and global image contrast, with:
- DxO Lighting, a unique local exposure and dynamic range optimizer which reveals tonal details through automatic local contrast adjustment. This technology efficiently deals with the toughest lighting conditions.
Sharper details :
- DxO uses a very accurate measure, the BxU, to model image sharpness to restore details and eliminate graininess even in low light.
