The Cupola360 is a 360-degree solution including Cupola360 Spherical Image Processor, 360-degree camera reference design, and accompanying apps for multiple applications and social media online sharing. With a focus on using 5MP six big-pixel high sensitivity sensors, the Cupola360 reduces the lens-distortion found in traditional solutions that use two fish-eye lenses. Cupola360 supports hardware in-camera (SoC) 360-degree image stitching and live-streaming of 4K 360-degree video which allows it to instantly start streaming video online without a tedious set-up process while most competitors’ cameras need post image stitching using computers or mobile phones. Additional features including 4K2K 30fps ultra-high resolution video; HEVC H.265/H.264 encoding; 3D anti-shake; face tracking, and apps which supports Android and iOS.
