Bosch Triumphs Ultimate Skills Competition

Bosch emerged as the Ultimate Imager at the Ultimate Skills Competition that took place in August at the Georgia Dome football stadium in Atlanta defeating the competition in every category!
 
The event provided a level playing field where best-of-breed Bosch and competitive cameras could fairly and accurately demonstrate their imaging prowess. It also marked the debut of Bosch's highly anticipated Dinion 2X and FlexiDome 2X cameras. (Get details on the incredible new FlexiDome 2X right here. For more on the Dinion 2X, click here.)
 
In a series of blind, side-by-side technology challenges, Bosch's new Dinion 2X Day/Night fixed camera was selected as the clear winner over a major competitor's camera by a group of 75 high-level systems integrators, dealers, and specifiers. Attendees selected Bosch's Dinion 2X as the winner in all four challenge areas: backlight compensation, image details, high-speed imaging, and low-light performance. Bosch's flagship imaging products, including the Bosch AutoDome Modular Camera System and Bosch infrared illumination technology were also showcased at the event.

The Ultimate Skills Competition also provided an opportunity for attendees to preview the new 2X technology, which features an innovative 2X digital signal processor (DSP), supplying twice the power of conventional cameras. Combining the 2X DSP with wide dynamic range sensors results in 20-bit image processing   a first in the CCTV industry  and produces a 50 percent improvement in detail reproduction and 30 percent better image quality.

Customers need imaging technology that consistently delivers a clear and accurate picture, which provides the foundation for their CCTV system, said Cheryl Bard, product marketing manager, Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Using the Ultimate Skills Competition, we demonstrated that Bosch's new 2X imaging technology used in our new FlexiDome 2X and Dinion 2X cameras outperforms the competition in overcoming these common imaging challenges.

Using factory-determined, out-of-the-box settings, Bosch's Dinion 2X was voted best performer by attendees in backlight compensation, image detail, high-speed imaging, and low-light categories. Attendees were asked to rate which camera provided the best detail in a scene where the camera viewed people and items with significant backlighting. Color quality and image detail were judged on the highest quality picture in terms of color temperature, white balance adjustment and subtle color differences in the scene.

The cameras high-speed imaging capabilities were judged in a variety of light levels for the ability to capture clear image details and colors. Low-light performance was critiqued in a darkened room at three different lux settings.
