The LTC 0498 Dinion2X Day/Night camera is a highperformance, smart, surveillance camera. It uses a 1/3-inch,
wide dynamic range CCD sensor and incorporates
advanced (20-bit) digital signal processing for outstanding
picture performance.
The 20-bit image processing enhances sensitivity; the 2XDynamic extends the dynamic range. This unique
combination provides a sharper, more detailed image with
outstanding accuracy in color reproduction even under
harsh lighting conditions.
The Dinion2X camera is easy to install and ready to use, and
offers the best solution for demanding scene conditions.
The day/night feature ensures the highest image quality
possible at any time. Depending on the available light the
camera will automatically switch from color to
monochrome.
All Dinion cameras are supplied ready to operate. Simply
attach the lens, connect video and then power. Six distinct
pre-programmed operational modes are stored in the
camera. Recall the mode that suits your application for
optimized performance.
The camera automatically detects the lens type. The lens
wizard ensures accurate back-focusing for perfectly sharp
pictures at all times. For especially challenging situations
where fine tuning or special settings are required, the
camera parameters can be individually set using the control
buttons on the side of the camera and an On-screen Display
(OSD).
Functions
Detail in Extreme Lighting
In harsh lighting, the difference between the brightest and
the darkest parts of a scene can be extreme. To produce a
clear picture in these conditions, the CCD sensor in the
Dinion2X generates two images; one long exposure to
resolve details in the scene’s darkest areas, and one short
exposure to resolve details in the scene’s brightest areas.
The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) of the Dinion2X
combines these dual shutter images, mixing pixels from
each exposure to produce the most detailed image
possible.

20-bit Image Processing
The highly accurate digital signal processing optimally
captures the detail in both bright highlights and deep
shadows simultaneously. By combining 20-bit image
processing and wide dynamic range, the Dinion2X
maximizes the information visible in the picture even with
strong backlighting.
Wide Dynamic Range
The superior wide dynamic range handling for all lighting
conditions reveals details previously unseen.
2X-Dynamic and SmartBLC
Using 2X-Dynamic technology, pixel-by-pixel analysis
provides the user with the most detailed information. Turn
on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the image
without the need for complicated set-up or without
compromising dynamic range.
Detail Enhancement
Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve
the details in a scene, pixel by pixel.
Day/Night Mode
The day/night mode provides enhanced night viewing by
increasing the IR sensitivity. The IR filter can switch from
color to monochrome automatically by either sensing the
illumination level or via the alarm input. The filter can be
switched manually via the alarm input, through the camera
menu or via the Bilinx coaxial control interface. An internal
through-the-lens IR detector enhances the monochrome
mode stability, as it prevents reverting to the color mode
when IR illumination is dominant. IR contrast is also
measured and used to handle reflected IR light in outdoor
scenes.
Privacy masking
Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a scene
to be blocked. Pre-program any part of the scene to be
masked.
Default Shutter
The default shutter speed captures fast moving objects
when sufficient light is available. When light levels fall and
other adjustments have been exhausted, the shutter speed
reverts to a standard setting to maintain sensitivity.
Bilinx Technology
Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability
embedded in the video signal of all Bosch Dinion cameras.
Technicians can check status, change camera settings and
even update firmware from virtually anywhere along the
video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time,
provides for more accurate set-up and adjustment, and
improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses the
standard video cable to transmit alarm and status
messages, providing superior performance without
additional installation steps.
Lens Wizard
The Lens Wizard automatically detects the lens type and
helps focus the lens at the maximum opening to ensure
proper focus is maintained throughout the 24-hour cycle.
No special tools or filters are required.
Ease of installation
Several features are available that make installation easy:
Power and alarm connections have cable connectors
•
which can be removed even when the camera is
mounted.
A built-in test pattern generator produces signals to test
•
and fault-find cables.
A multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD) increases
•
user compatibility.
Programmable Modes
Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes
support typical applications, but are fully programmable for
individual situations. Switching between modes is easy via
Bilinx or the external alarm input.
High efficiency
A high efficiency power supply improves maximum
operating temperature.
Video Motion Detection
The built-in video motion detector allows you to select a
programmable area with individual thresholds. The global
scene change detector minimizes false alarms caused by
sudden lighting condition changes, such as switching on or
off the indoor or security lighting. When motion is detected,
alarms can be displayed in the video signal, the output relay
can be closed or an alarm message can be transmitted via
Bilinx.
SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on the
CCD, the effective sensitivity is dramatically enhanced. This
is especially useful when relying only on moonlight for
illumination.
