P-Iris, AXIS Camera Application Platform / TECHNICAL CORNER 33
P-IRIS
P-Iris is an automatic and precise iris control. It in-
volves a P-Iris lens and specialized software that opti-
mize image quality. The system is designed to address
the shortcomings of an auto-iris lens by providing
drastic improvements in contrast, clarity, resolution
and depth of eld.
In bright situations, P-Iris limits the closing of the iris
to avoid blurring (diraction) caused when the iris
opening becomes too small. This can typically happen
in cameras that use DC-iris lenses in combination with
megapixel sensors that have small pixels. Being able to
avoid diraction and at the same time benet from an
automatically controlled iris is highly valued in outdoor
video surveillance applications.
A P-Iris lens allows the position of the iris opening to
be precisely controlled. In Axis network cameras with
P-Iris, the iris position is automatically set to use the
central and best performing part of the lens under
most lighting conditions.
P-Iris is especially benecial for megapixel/HDTV
cameras and demanding video surveillance applications.
AXIS CAMERA APPLICATION PLATFORM
AXIS Camera Application Platform is an open applica-
tion platform. It enables the integration of third-party
applications, which can be downloaded and installed on
Axis network cameras and video encoders. The platform
makes it possible for integrators, resellers and end users
to meet specic needs by selecting the most suitable
applications for their Axis network video products.
Compatible applications can be installed on Axis net-
work cameras and video encoders to extend their func-
tionality to meet specic end-user needs.
