The Real-time Image Enhancement is a feature that will help operators get the job done quickly and efficiently by allowing them to clearly see the videos and stills they're capturing in real time.

The Image Enhancement feature is ideal for water conditions with poor visibility as it helps bring out details in the enhanced video that are normally obscured.

Image Enhancement processes live frames so the framerate is processor dependent.
