Optical and Digital Zoom

Posted on April 26, 2014 in News

Without the latest technology, many people could now not more life. The digital camera and its benefits a lot of people now have a digital camera. No wonder, because the handling is as simple as never before and you can transfer his images in just a few minutes on the laptop or the PC. There is then the opportunity to edit his images, print out or download on the Internet. A digital camera is very handy and it has already as well as replaced the conventional camera. Gone are the days where you must give the full film band at the next photographer and waiting several days for the final images. The digital camera you simply drag his pictures on the PC and can access it for a few seconds.

Difference between optical zoom and digital zoom of course there are lots of different camera models on the market. Often be faced with the decision to choose a digital or an optical zoom. But what is that anyway? The so-called COOLPIX cameras have both, what a tremendous advantage can represent. The digital zoom is often used for close-ups, but not very often should be used, since this can cause degradation in the image quality. The optical zoom the lens in the lens to work and can best change the viewing angle without sacrificing quality.

When choosing a digital zoom the lens to its maximum setting is placed and only a small area of the image sensor is used for the recording. All the greater is the digital zoom setting, the more the picture quality decreases. It remains to say that an optical zoom is perfectly adequate. The digital zoom is suitable only for close-ups, which can often lead to loss of image quality. Therefore, the optical zoom is a great alternative, because he can best change the viewing angle without sacrificing image quality and thus great shots are obtained. Also acts as a kind of binoculars, optical zoom which the image in razor sharp quality captures. Who so images without loss of quality want to shoot, should place value on the optical zoom. So can his pictures even after years in razor sharp quality look at and remember some great days back.

ViewSonic establishes joint venture with Hanvon Munich the 08 June 2013 ViewSonic, a world leader in consumer electronics and communication and it solutions, today announced a new joint venture with Hanvon. The Chinese company is specialized in the development of hardware solutions and software, based on technologies to the handwriting recognition. This includes among other things the OCR (optical character recognition). As a result of the joint venture between ViewSonic and Hanvon, a new company is created with the ViewSonic Hanvon touch technology Corporation. The aim of the cooperation is the development of ERT screen modules (electromagnetic resonance touch).

These are required mainly to the growing demand for products for electronic signatures to use e-government solutions and e-paper products. In the education sector more digital solutions demand, in which handwriting recognition plays a central role. Also, the new company will offer high quality and yet affordable products for companies, want to integrate the technologies to the handwriting recognition or solutions for electronic signatures in their products. The ViewSonic Hanvon touch technology Corporation has developed already screen modules and marketable products in different sizes. In the area of the ERT modules have the following dimensions are offered: 11,94 cm (4.7 “), 17.78 cm (7”), 20.32 cm (8 “), 24.64 cm (9.7”), 25,65 cm (10.1 “), 29,46 cm (11.6”), 39.11 cm (15.4 “), 39,62 cm (15.6”), 43,20 cm (17 “), 46,99 cm (18.5”), 48.26 cm (19 “) and 54.61 cm (21.5”). Complete screens that can be operated with a stylus, are already available in the following sizes available: 25,65 cm (10.1 “), 39,62 cm (15.6), 48,13 cm (18.95”) and 54.61 cm (21.5 “).

All products provide high precision and very user-friendly writing and drawing on the screens with the help of a wireless and batteryless pen. The technology allows the respective devices (Tablet PC, Smartphone) or the respective application to gather very detailed information. These include for example the inclination and the pressure of the pen when writing. Thus, drawings and handwritten notes are depicted exactly as a traditional pen and paper would have been used. The ERT technology is a further development of the well known EMR technology (electro magnetic resonance) and makes an important contribution to consume less paper to save costs and protect the environment. Since users usually prefer use a pen as the tips of their fingers to make notes on a screen, the ERT technology is much more intuitive and user-friendly than solutions that rely on touch operation with the fingertips. Due to these advantages, ViewSonic Hanvon touch technology Corporation expects a continues to rapidly rising demand for products in which the digital signature is used. The ViewSonic Corporation headquartered in Walnut (California, United States) is a leading, global set up Companies in the field of computing, consumer electronics and communication technology. Since the company was founded in 1987, ViewSonic focuses on, to be world’s first choice under the brand provider of Visual solutions. The portfolio includes LED monitors, Tablet PCs, projectors, smartphones, digital signage, as well as cloud computing solutions. ViewSonic will also continue to significantly help as paving the way for innovative visual technologies a digital networked future.
