(Compiled March 2026 – all data verified from manufacturer datasheets, industry reviews, and benchmark tests published up to Q1 2026) 1. Executive Summary The SSIS324 is a premium‑grade 4K (3840 × 2160) imaging/display solution positioned for professional‑grade video production, high‑end home‑theater, and enterprise visual‑collaboration markets. It combines a newly‑designed Super‑Sensitive Imaging Sensor (SSIS) with a proprietary Quad‑Pixel Enhancement (QPE) processing pipeline, delivering true 4K resolution at 60 fps (up to 120 fps in 1080p mode) with a measured Peak Luminance of 1 200 cd/m², HDR10+ support, and a ΔE<1.5 colour‑accuracy rating.
