8K VR180 Stereo Camera

The underlying technology has also been developed for broader real-time 3D imaging applications, including VR/AR content and advanced stereo vision.

The underlying development system specifies approximately 2-pixel real-time horizontal alignment accuracy, distortion control within 0.5°, and concurrent timing precision down to 0.00001 second. These figures describe the stereo imaging and calibration technology rather than a standalone product tolerance specification.

HIGH-PRECISION STEREO CALIBRATION 

Consistency Between Two Optical Channels

1. A stereo camera needs more than two matched sensors and lenses. The physical relationship between the two optical channels must also be accurately controlled.

2. The production technology incorporates high-precision stereo calibration and verification processes covering lens alignment, optical positioning, and system-level validation.

3. The stereo lens module is designed around defined baseline specifications, with physical tolerances controlled during production to improve consistency between manufactured units.

4. This approach helps create a more consistent stereoscopic image and supports comfortable 3D viewing.

ALL-IN-ONE 3D WORKFLOW 

Capture. Process. Monitor. Record. Stream.

The YVR-001 brings the essential functions of a VR180 and 3D production system together in one device.

Capture
Dual Sony IMX577 sensors and customized binocular fisheye lenses capture synchronized stereoscopic images.

Process
Integrated image processing and stereo processing prepare the dual-channel video for recording and streaming.

Monitor
The built-in 3.5-inch LCD provides direct monitoring and camera operation.

Record
VR180 and 3D video can be recorded locally to a high-speed TF card.

Stream
RTMP, RTSP, UVC, and SRT support provides multiple options for live production and streaming.

IMAGE QUALITY AND PROCESSING 

Sony IMX577 Dual-Sensor Architecture

1. Each optical channel uses a Sony IMX577 1/2.3-inch 12.3MP image sensor.

2. The dual-sensor architecture provides separate left- and right-eye image channels for stereoscopic capture.

3. The camera is powered by the RK3588 platform and runs on Linux, providing the processing foundation for high-resolution video capture, recording, streaming, and camera functions.

BUILT-IN MONITORING AND AUDIO 

Monitor and Control Directly from the Camera

The built-in 3.5-inch LCD display provides an integrated way to monitor and operate the camera.

Display: 3.5-inch LCD 
Resolution: 800 × 480

For audio, the camera includes dual built-in microphones and supports external microphones through the 3.5 mm audio interface and USB Type-C.

Audio is supported at AAC 48 kHz.

This approach allows users to choose the optimal lens for their working distance instead of relying on a single autofocus lens with a fixed focal length.
