Dm36x image tuning for WDR sensor

There are many types of  WDR sensors.  Which ones are you specifically thinking of using.

TI has reference design with Sony iMX035 (1.3Mp) sensor with WDR mode and WDR processing by TI 3rd party Appro Photoelectron; http://www.appropho.com/NewWeb/Main.php.

We are also planning similar reference designs with Sony iMX036 3Mp sensor also from Appro, and potentially we shall have designs with more sensors in near future.

Another option is to use TED Inrevium TE3610PF ASIC with Apical Iridix WDR processing in between the sensor and DM365 or DM368 SOC.

The above sensors are single exposure 12bit sensors.  Some other WDR sensors use multiple exposure capture, this requires special processing by sensor maker ASIC or FPGA before input into the DM365 or DM368 SOC.

We are using Aptina MT9M033 Sensor.It connect to Dm368 VPIF directly..

Hi Peter,

On Appro's website they claim the DM368 + ICX036 is capable of over 100db dynamic range.  This seems impossible with a 12-bit single exposure sensor (should be ~72db at 12 bit...).  Am I missing something or are the stats on their website incorrect?

Please see: http://www.appropho.com/NewWeb/Product_DM368IMX036_Spec.php#a

Odd...  Are they adding the DC-Iris effect into the calculation maybe?

Can someone from Appro or TI comment on the 100dB claim?

but the TED Inrevium TE3610PF is for dynamic range compression, it is only  for normal  dynamic range sensor.

if the  120db high dynamic range sensor is used, the ISP become become complex. because the the RGB2RGB input and should be 20 bits, othewise, the color would be seriously distorted 

I am not sure if i am right. 

the WDR used by Appro should be "digital WDR", using GBCE or SALDRE.

It's not truely optical WDR.
