  • Page 7: Introduction

    1.2 Features • High performance Digital Signal Processing (DSP) PULNiX uses state of the art DSP technology which offers increased speed, greater efficiency and specialization of function. High sensitivity complementary color filter • The TMC-7DSP/TMC-6DSP uses complementary stripe color filters of Cy, Gr, Ye. More sensitive than R, G, B primary color systems, a broader range of color variations are generated for outstanding color fidelity.
