• Intelligent fusion of multi-modal imagery, such as from a visible and IR sensor.
• Image stabilisation, even when the platform is subject to severe vibration, and when imagery is sparse in features or of low contrast.
• Contrast enhancement to maintain high performance operation in marginal lighting conditions -- visible and IR.
• Noise reduction for optimising operation in low ambient light and for ensuring robust image fusion.
• Digital zoom, lens distortion correction, image overlay and support for compression standards.

It supports voltages from 4V to 27V DC.
