Rear Vision System Leader
No one has more rear vision experience than Gentex, which is why over the years we’ve been the leading supplier of intelligent rear vision systems for OEM racing programs, including Audi, Nissan Motorsports, Toyota Gazoo Racing, Cadillac, Porsche Motorsports LMP1, and others.
To blend the benefits of cameras, mirrors and displays, Gentex offers hybrid and fully digital rear vision systems that use three cameras to provide comprehensive views of the sides and rear of the vehicle.
The side-view cameras are discretely housed in downsized exterior mirrors, and their video feeds are combined with that of a roof-mounted camera and stitched together into multiple composite views that are streamed to the driver via Gentex’s Full Display Mirror. The driver can choose between various viewing modes that present the three camera feeds independently or stitched together to form a single, wide-angle view.
