Multi-view Camera System is the system that allows video
monitoring of 360 degrees around the vehicle. The system includes 4
ultra optical camera mounted around the vehicle (front, both sides,
rear).
The video from these cameras are applied with distortion
compensation, time point conversion, and video merging technologies to
provide sky-view image of the vehicle's surrounding area, as well as
various other view modes.
The Multi-view Camera System provides video feed of the
vehicle's surrounding area while parking or during low speed driving to
the driver to enhance safety and driver's convenience.
In addition, the system also displays video image of
vehicle's surrounding area, and includes steering wheel synchronized
guide line indication, front and rear object warning, and A/S (including
In-Line) tolerance compensation features.
It's a system that displays the video, from ultra optical
cameras mounted on 4 sides of the vehicle, on the Head Unit Screen. It
shows 360 degrees sky-view image of the vehicle's surrounding area, as
well as various other view modes. The Multi-view Camera System provides
video feed of the vehicle's surrounding area while the vehicle is parked
or during low speed driving to the driver to enhance safety and
driver's convenience.

Multi-view Camera Mode Entry Conditions
The vehicle information is accessed regularly, even after
entering Multi-view Camera mode. When the conditions are met, conversion
from front mode to rear mode is available, and vice versa.
When the mode is converted, the view displayed on the screen
can be the initial view or the previous view depending on the
conditions.
If the mode for conversion is the initial entry, the default
view is selected based on the front or rear. If a continuous front-rear
conversion mode occurs as forward and backward movement are repeated for
parking, the previous view is recalled and displayed.
