Newly-developed DSP utilizes the 
Adaptive Black Stretch technology
The DSP to automatically detect dark areas inside an image, 
applying the most suitable correction curve based on 
brightness data of areas surrounding the dark area. 
This image processing algorithm transforms shadows and 
dark areas into natural and crisp images in real time.
