Night Vision 2 Control Unit
The control unit is installed behind the compartment in the area of the A-pillar directly under the light switch cluster.
The control unit calculates the displayed 720 x 480 pixel image from the 324 x 256 pixel raw data image supplied by the camera. Automatic pedestrian detection is executed in the control unit. The diagnosis, programming and coding data are also transmitted to the camera through the control unit.
The camera and the protective window heater are powered via the control unit. The raw image data from the camera are transmitted through a LVDS cable to the control unit.
The image output by the control unit is made available in the head unit in the form of a dCVBS signal.
The camera-housing cover features a 6-pin plug connection.
The button for switching BMW Night Vision 2 on and off is integrated in the BEFAS.
