DxO IPE Product Line

Image Processing Engines for DSC Class Camera Phones

The DxO IPE line of solutions combines the newest digital optics technology which supports low light lens designs, enhanced depth of field designs and low profile lens designs together with DSC class image processing performance for the best overall low light imaging performance available. The DxO IPE5x50 provides all standard DSC class image processing features, while the DxO IPE5x80 offers this plus advanced features such as Global Adaptive Lighting and Smart Vibrancy. All solutions provide on-the-fly image processing without the need for a frame buffer.
