AutoVu Sharp components
The AutoVu Sharp is typically used for fixed
installations, and comes in the following models:
• Sharp XGA. Sharp unit that integrates an
infrared illuminator, a high-definition (1024 x
768) LPR camera for plate capture, an integrated
image processor, an NTSC or PAL color
context camera with video streaming capabilities, and optional internal GPS.
• Sharp VGA. Same as the Sharp XGA, except with a standard definition (640 x 480)
LPR camera for plate capture.
• Sharp EX. Sharp unit that includes an integrated image processor and supports two
standard definition NTSC or PAL inputs for external cameras (to be used for the LPR
and context cameras).
For more information, see the AutoVu Sharp specification sheet available on the Genetec
website.
AutoVu SharpX components
The AutoVu SharpX is used for mobile
installations. Unlike the Sharp, the SharpX system
separates the capture and processing functionality
into two components:
• SharpX camera unit. Camera component of
the SharpX system. The SharpX camera unit
integrates a pulsed LED illuminator that works in total darkness (0 lux), a monochrome
LPR camera (1024 x 946 @ 30 fps), and a color context camera (640 x 480 @ 30 fps).
The LPR data captured by the SharpX camera unit is processed by a separate hardware
component called the AutoVu LPR Processing Unit.
• SharpX VGA camera unit. Same as the SharpX, except with a standard definition (640
x 480) LPR camera for plate capture.
