Night Vision Control Unit

The control unit is accommodated in the front device holder behind the glovebox.

The control unit increases the image data from the camera from 320 x 240 pixels to 640 x 480 pixels. Only one detail is shown in the control display. 640 x 240 pixels are displayed when the "Full screen" function is activated while 400 x 240 pixels are displayed for the splitscreen function. The diagnosis, programming and coding data are transmitted to the camera via the control unit.

The camera and the front-lens heater are powered via the control unit. In addition, the control unit converts the symmetrical image data from the camera into a CVBS signal and, depending on the equipment specification, makes this signal available to either the navigation system or the video module.

The Night Vision control unit is accommodated in the front device holder behind the glovebox.

The camera-housing cover features a 12-pin plug connection.
