Collaboration to elevate video performance in new Motorola edge+ smartphone
I
MINT Image Intelligence’s (Imint) Vidhance video enhancement software solutions have been implemented within the new motorola edge+, Motorola’s latest smartphone based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. The new motorola edge+ is equipped with three of Imint’s Vidhance solutions: Vidhance Video Stabilization, Vidhance Lens Distortion Correction and Vidhance Dynamic Motion Blur Reduction. Combined, these features are designed to push the boundaries of
smartphone video performance and answer consumer demand for a premium video experience in mobile devices. Vidhance Video Stabilization removes unwanted camera movement to produce video stabilization on par with or exceeding dedicated action cams; Vidhance Lens Distortion Correction removes lens distortion in video recordings and adjusts fisheye effect in ultra-wide FOV cameras; and Vidhance Dynamic Motion Blur Reduction minimizes the effect of motion-blur in stabilized video
by learning from ongoing software processing and fine-tuning different video parameters to account for movement and light. The new motorola edge+ comes with a 50-megapixel main camera sensor—a 50MP sensor for ultra-wide or extreme macro close ups. It’s capable of capturing video up to 8K resolution at 24 frames per second and
HDR10+ video recording for over a billion colours.

ATA MODUL, the specialist provider of display, touch, embedded, monitor and panel PC solutions, is expanding its display portfolio with a new 11.6” high-resolution Full HD and 10.4” Industry Standard XGA night vision displays (NVIS display) that are suited for aerospace applications. Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) displays have a very high sensitivity to light of wavelengths from 600 nm to 930 nm (from red/orange to near infrared). By converting photons from the night environment into a visible image, they amplify the night scene by 1500 to 2000 times, allowing clear vision
even in dark environments. NVIS displays use special filters that absorb about 20 to 30 per cent of visible light, reducing the transmission of the screen. As a result of this conversion, wearers of night vision goggles (NVG) can read NVIS displays perfectly even at night. In comparison, non-NVG compatible displays often have the disadvantage that screen contents are displayed too brightly and may blind the user.
“This display is unique in the market due to its FHD resolution and high contrast values and thus clearly stands out from other NVIS models. In accordance with the MIL-STD-3009 standard, the display
meets all requirements for the emission properties of lighting and display devices in aircraft, which are necessary for operation at night. Thanks to dual mode backlighting and a luminance of 1500 cd/ m2, the display can be used not only in dark but
also in extremely bright environments,” said Kirk Frederick, head of product management USA at DATA MODUL.
The new 11.6” NVIS display has an
extremely wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, a contrast ratio of 1300:1 and a backlight lifetime of 70k hours.

Easy Drive SAR ADCs simplify design and deliver high performance A
nalog Devices has introduced a new portfolio of next-generation 16-to-24-bit, ultra-high precision successive approximation register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) that simplify the often complex process of designing ADCs into instrumentation, industrial and healthcare applications. The new high-performance SAR ADC family features ADI’s patented Easy Drive technology and versatile Flexi-SPI serial peripheral interface (SPI) that solves system design challenges and broaden the selection of directly compatible companion products. ADI’s Easy Drive technology maintains device performance while eliminating many traditional system-level design challenges such as strict layout guidelines, rigid digital interface timing requirements, and the complicated selection of companion products.

The versatile Flexi-SPI digital interface eases host processor and ADC integration by providing easy-to-meet timing requirements. The combination of high performance with this reimagined digital interface provides a better overall design experience while also accelerating the system design cycle. First in the pin-compatible SAR ADC family of six, the 24-bit dual-channel, simultaneous sampling, two Megasamples (Msps) per second per channel AD4630- 24 features an industry leading accuracy (INL) rating of 0.9 parts per million (ppm), which is a 4x improvement when compared to others. The AD4630-24 integrates a reference buffer and all critical decoupling components into a single chip, providing a 2x improvement in solution density when compared with others.
“The combination of performance and
speed will lead to more accurate and stable digital control loops that can settle to their final set point with lower latency,” said Ray Goggin, general manager for ADI’s Electronic Test & Measurement Group.
AD4630-24 SAR ADC Key Features: n Highest accuracy: Guaranteed accuracy rating of 0.9ppm INL with typical performance of 0.1ppm n Highest performance: Signal-to- noise ratio rating of 105.7dB typical n Small solution size: Chip scale ball grid array (CSP-BGA) package integrates all the critical power supply and reference bypass capacitors to reduce footprint and system component count n Wide common mode input range: Ensures compatibility with both single-ended and differential input signal chains.
The dual channel AD4630-24 and single channel AD4030-24 are available now and the additional four SAR ADCs will launch throughout this year.
