iQ-Headturner

Webcam image quality test: The iQ-Headturner enables control of mannequin heads used to evaluate camera system performance. It provides a ±180 ° turning radius from the home position and a quick-change system for interchangeable mannequin heads. This product is designed for use with the TE295 test chart. TE295 is a multipurpose chart for evaluating webcam systems. It is the chart utilized in the VCX-WebCam international standard. To improve testing accuracy, VCX recommends using multiple mannequin heads with different skin tones. Contact our sales department for more details. VCX-WebCam 2023 VCX-WebCam 2023 has established the first internationally recognized benchmarks for evaluating the image quality performance of video conferencing cameras. Tests are performed in a controlled environment by trusted test labs using equipment and test charts that adhere to the standard, such as TE295 and the iQ-Headturner. The VCX test focuses on key areas of webcam performance, including low-light conditions, mixed and changing lighting, face detection accuracy, challenging scenes (e.g., high-dynamic-range scenes), and motion. Please note: The Headturner is sold without the head. The manufacturer of the heads does not provide Reach & RoHS compliance certificates, thus impacting the distribution in Europe. As a result, European-based customers must accept that these products don’t fulfill the CE conformity requirements. Customers in Asia and the USA can purchase the heads directly from our subsidiaries or resellers.

Over the last few years, video conferencing has grown exponentially. With that growth has come the need for improved webcam systems that can reliably detect faces and deliver high image quality. These systems must be able to detect faces in motion and operate across a variety of backgrounds, including low- and high-light conditions. The iQ-Headturner enables realistic motion of mannequin heads in a controlled test environment by rotating them through ±180°, allowing you to see how your webcam performs. This solution is designed specifically after the webcam image quality metrics described in the VCX WebCam standard.
