Real-time Image Enhancement
When a Channel is configured with Input, the Real-time Image Enhancement “wand” toggle button will appear in the top, right of the Stream UI.
The Real-time 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.
This feature helps operators get the job done quickly and efficiently by allowing them to clearly see the videos and stills they're capturing in real time.
Real-time Image Enhancement processes live frames so the framerate is processor dependent.
Image enhancement Off 
on a dark day with low light conditions underwater.
Image enhancement On 
significantly brightens the image.
