CF-NRS1 (Lingguang No.1 Hybrid Vision Camera)
1. Overview
CF-NRS1 (Lingguang No.1) is a hybrid vision camera based on the AlpsenTek ALPIX-Eiger HVS chip. HVS fuses the image (APS/RGB) and event (EVS) streams within the same pixel array — at hardware level, pixel level, and microsecond-level synchronization — outputting a high-resolution image and an event stream simultaneously, breaking through the limitations of conventional imaging in speed, dynamic range, and latency. For details on the fusion architecture, see HVS Hybrid Vision.
