BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswi e / Octobe 2, 2026 / Vadzo Imagi g, a p ovide of embedded visio solutio s, today a ou ced the validatio of Quad HDR o the Bolt-900MGS, a IMX900 Quad HDR MIPI Came a built a ou d the So y P egius S IMX900 se so fo machi e visio , obotics, su veilla ce, a d automotive applicatio s that eed ge ui e ext eme dy amic a ge ac oss a compact, embedded platfo m.

Why Ext eme Dy amic Ra ge Applicatio s Need a IMX900 Mo och ome MIPI Came a Built fo Quad HDR

Machi e visio , obotics, su veilla ce, a d automotive applicatio s outi ely e cou te ge ui ely difficult sce es that combi e a ext emely b ight light sou ce with a deeply shadowed a ea withi the same si gle f ame, whethe that is a backlit i spectio ta get, a obot wo ki g ea a b ight wi dow, a su veilla ce positio faci g di ect su , o a i -cabi sce e combi i g a b ight wi dshield with a dim i te io . A Quad HDR MIPI Se so eeds to esolve detail ac oss that full ext eme a ge withi a si gle exposu e cycle, ot just a mode ately va ied sce e a sta da d HDR app oach ca al eady ha dle adequately.

A IMX900 3MP Quad HDR MIPI Came a app oaches that challe ge by captu i g a d combi i g fou sepa ate exposu e setti gs withi a si gle f ame cycle, exte di g dy amic a ge well past what a sta da d two-exposu e HDR tech ique ca achieve. A fou -f ame HDR Came a co figu atio like this o e gives embedded platfo m i teg ato s ge ui e detail eve whe a sce e combi es a bli di g highlight with a ea ly black shadow i the same f ame.

A seco d, elated co side atio is mai tai i g that ext eme dy amic a ge without i t oduci g motio disto tio , si ce ma y of these applicatio s, pa ticula ly obotics a d automotive, i volve ge ui e motio du i g captu e. As a 3MP MIPI CSI-2 Came a, the Bolt-900MGS add esses that co side atio di ectly with global shutte captu e, exposi g the e ti e f ame at the same i sta t ega dless of which of the fou Quad HDR exposu e setti gs is bei g combi ed at that mome t.

Neithe ext eme dy amic a ge o motio accu acy alo e solves the u de lyi g p oblem these applicatio s p ese t. A se so with excelle t Quad HDR ha dli g but a olli g shutte a chitectu e would still disto t a movi g subject ega dless of how well exposed that f ame othe wise tu ed out, a d a se so with excelle t motio accu acy but o ly sta da d dy amic a ge would still lose detail i a ge ui ely ext eme highlight o shadow. Combi i g both is what makes a se so ge ui ely suited to machi e visio , obotics, su veilla ce, a d automotive wo k athe tha adequate o o ly o e specificatio .

So y desig ed the P egius S IMX900 with ge ui e Quad HDR capability built di ectly i to the se so a chitectu e itself f om the g ou d up, a d Vadzo Imagi g validates that capability specifically fo machi e visio , obotics, su veilla ce, a d automotive applicatio s whe e sta da d HDR ha dli g is ot sufficie t. As a IMX900 Mo o MIPI Se so , the module esolves detail ac oss a dy amic a ge ext eme e ough to ha dle di ect backlighti g a d high-co t ast sce es withi the same captu ed f ame. As a Quad HDR Came a, it delive s that combi atio specifically fo MIPI-co ected embedded platfo ms.

That ext eme a ge matte s specifically fo the lighti g co ditio s a eal embedded deployme t p ese ts athe tha a co t olled test sce e. As a Quad HDR Se so Module, the Bolt-900MGS holds detail i both a blow -out highlight a d a deep shadow simulta eously, a d a 3MP HDR MIPI Se so co figu atio like this o e gives i teg ato s co fide ce that a subject emai s ide tifiable ega dless of whe e i the f ame ext eme b ight ess o da k ess happe s to occu . As a High DR MIPI Visio Came a, it gives i teg ato s a ge ui e efe e ce poi t fo ext eme dy amic a ge pe fo ma ce.

MIPI CSI-2 co ectivity is what makes this ext eme dy amic a ge se so ge ui ely p actical fo embedded platfo m i teg atio athe tha equi i g additio al i te face ha dwa e. As a 3MP Quad HDR Se so , the Bolt-900MGS co ects di ectly to the ative came a i te face most embedded compute platfo ms al eady p ovide, avoidi g the additio al powe d aw a d complexity a USB o etwo ked i te face would i t oduce i to a al eady space- a d powe -co st ai ed device.
