Today, vivo held the "Imaging New Blueprint ∙ X Series Technology Communication Meeting," unveiling its strategy of combining independent research and collaboration in imaging technology. The event also highlighted the core independent technological advancements in imaging under the vivo-Zeiss joint imaging system.
According to official sources, vivo imaging is an open and inclusive system dedicated to creating a "humanized professional imaging" experience for users.
It is reported that vivo's global imaging strategic partnership with ZEISS has entered its fourth year. Together, they have created the "vivo ZEISS Joint Imaging System," introducing several joint innovations such as ZEISS optical lenses, ZEISS T* coating, ZEISS APO chromatic aberration control standard, and ZEISS natural colors.
Recently, the two parties have signed a new joint R&D expansion agreement. In the future, they aim not only to continue collaborative research in the traditional mobile imaging field but also to explore more possibilities in computational optics and future imaging.
The vivo X100 Ultra debuts with vivo's self-developed Blueprint Imaging, representing vivo's recognition and technological accumulation in key scenarios, integrating vivo's self-developed sensor technology, algorithms, and imaging chip technology.
The Blueprint Imaging algorithm matrix includes the Super Portrait System, Sky Night Scene System, Wind Speed Video System, and the original image engine based on AI large model capabilities.
The vivo X100 Ultra is equipped with the LYT 900 and HP9 sensors jointly developed with Sony and Samsung, and incorporates vivo's VCS biomimetic spectral technology from the Blueprint Imaging, optimizing the color filter and ulens hardware structure to improve sensor QE spectrum, bringing the sensor's raw information closer to human visual perception.
The telephoto module of the vivo X100 Ultra adopts Fluorite-grade glass lens FCD100, significantly improving chromatic aberration to meet Zeiss APO certification standards. The 4*4 HexBayer large model technology addresses complex image quality degradation caused by optical crosstalk.
The vivo X100 Ultra supports four vivo color styles. In addition to the vibrant and lively "Vibrant" color style and the light and shadow emphasizing "Texture" color style, vivo has upgraded the Zeiss natural color style, focusing on improving dark area tones and overall brightness. A new black and white color style has been introduced, along with the launch of a humanistic street photography camera mode.
The vivo X100 Ultra features an 85mm portrait lens, the only telephoto lens in the industry dedicated entirely to portrait photography, capable of faithfully capturing fine details in portrait images.
Additionally, the AI multi-frame high-pixel algorithm increases data processing by 300%, customizing the human eye AF pixel focusing function with a minimum focusing distance of 12cm, delivering intelligent backlit tone effects. It also introduces a quick-release Zeiss portrait lens kit, 3D imaging capabilities, and AI portrait functions for all seasons.
The vivo X100 Ultra's one-inch sensor offers a stabilization angle of 2.0°, enabling the upgrade to 4K 120fps across multiple focal lengths. It supports 2X and 7.4X zoom within the sensor for video recording, allowing three physical lenses to deliver video quality across five optical focal lengths. With balanced optical components, the vivo X100 Ultra also features full-range 2.8K super stabilization and full-range 4K time-lapse photography capabilities.
Vivo's self-developed BluePrint imaging chip V3+, combined with the FIT dual-core interconnection system, reduces power consumption by 80% and increases performance by 35%, enabling concurrent multiple video algorithms at 4K resolution. The fully self-developed HDR, RAW NR, MEMC motion estimation, and other video combination algorithms bring about the effect of a 4K ultra-sensing night vision device.
With the support of the self-developed video AI super-resolution algorithm, the telephoto recording achieves a usable zoom range of up to 30X. The 4K video blurring algorithm for portrait recording highlights the subject and creates a softer background.
The video recording of the Vivo X100 Ultra also offers various cinematic imaging styles and supports the import of 3DLut.
