Imaging
HD / 4K sensor and lens module adaptation—clarity and color consistency in medical and industrial conditions.
For medical and industrial endoscopy, Shunter provides full-system and mainboard solutions built on FPGA and HD imaging chains—recording, freeze, white balance, digital zoom, multi-video outputs, and dual-display mirroring.
In 2025–2026 we extend the established 4K imaging chain with AI post-processing interfaces and phone-direct portable forms to lower deployment cost.

Solution stack
Four layers working together
Processing
FPGA pipeline for freeze, digital zoom, white balance, and custom scene parameters.
Output
Multiple video interfaces and dual-display mirroring for OR, production line, and portable inspection.
Expansion
Reserved AI post-processing and custom PCBA interfaces for defect assist and vertical customization.
Implementation path
Six steps from requirements to mass production
Typical projects advance by phase to shorten the cycle where “prototype looks fine but volume is unstable.”
-
1
Scene and interface definition
Define medical rigid / laryngoscope / industrial inspection form; lock resolution, interfaces, and display mode.
-
2
Sensor and optics selection
Select modules by diameter, depth of field, and lighting; evaluate cable and connector reliability.
-
3
Mainboard / FPGA architecture
Confirm processing chain, recording, and multi-interface output; custom PCBA when needed.
-
4
Imaging and UI bring-up
White balance, scene parameters, touch UI, and dual-display mirroring calibration.
-
5
Full product pilot validation
Mechanical fit, ESD / thermal drift, and small-batch consistency checks.
-
6
Mass production and optional AI expansion
Production regression; add defect assist and other AI post-processing as needed.
Reference case
Product example: 4K FPGA medical camera system SHT-E401
The chain applied to a mass-production medical rigid endoscope camera system—capture, processing, and multi-interface display in one loop.
Product capabilities
- 4K rigid endoscope camera: record, freeze, white balance, digital zoom, custom scenes and parameters
- Multi-interface output: HDMI 2.0 / 3G-SDI / VGA / DVI / CVBS / LVDS
- Medical endoscopy and extensible industrial inspection display chains
How this solution maps to the product
