Starvis, starligth, WDR?

[IP-MAN]

Hello guys i don't understand about them, i know that starvis and starlight is the same and that wdr is a software option (What's DOL WDR? | Technology News).


Starligth/starvis is not an option in the firmware and it is only a technology of the cmos?


because i have a ip cam with imx290 starvis / wdr and there is only options about WDR not to enable or disable starvis?


thanks

not to enable or disable starvis?

It's not that type of option - it's a method of manufacture.
Starvis is a tradename (I'm not sure if it's copyrighted) used by Sony that's associated with their innovative back-illuminated sensors that enable more light to reach the photocell by not being blocked by the normal surface interconnects that ICs have.
