Perfect for your next imaging project, not least because it comes with an abundance of software development resources. Coding examples and libraries available for speeding up your development process.

Automatic Exposure and Gain Control
The DMK 33UR0521 camera can automatically control gain and exposure time. These automatic functions are enabled by default. In order to optimize image parameters, a region of interest can be specified for automatic functions. Specifying a region of interest enables fine-grained control over the image area for which the image parameters are optimized. A selection of pre-defined area presets is available, but the user can also specify the coordinates of a custom rectangle. In certain situations, it is desirable to limit the range of the auto-controlled parameters. For example, one might want to avoid high gain settings in order to keep noise levels low. Other applications require limiting the maximum exposure time so that movements do not get blurred. Therefore, the ranges of the gain and exposure parameter can be limited. If both auto exposure and auto gain are active, the camera tries to lower the gain value in order to reduce noise and improve the image quality.

Highlight Reduction
Enabling Highlight Reduction lets the auto exposure and auto gain functions reduce overexposed areas in the output image. This feature is particularly useful when using 10/12/16-bit output images and a tone mapping algorithm in post-processing when using higher bit depths as the dark areas still contain a lot of useful information.

Region of Interest for Auto Functions
The 33U series cameras allow for the setting of a region of interest that is used while controlling the Auto Exposure, Auto Gain and Auto White Balance functions.
