Adaptive Dampening™ smooths out sharp changes in speed to cancel out jitters and bumps, while also having no effect on latency.
Adaptive Dampening works by monitoring camera speed changes in real time. If a sudden increase or decrease in speed that is above the desired threshold is detected, the system will override the wheel input momentarily. The override can be incredibly brief—as short as 1/100th of a second. During the override, the camera speed will continue to change to eventually match to the operator's wheels speed, but it will do so at a gentler acceleration than the actual operator's input.
The ultimate effect can be invisible to the operator's experience of having solid control, but quite dramatic in helping maintain a smooth shot.
If the operator's movements do not surpass the threshold, the system will standby and nothing will happen.
Smoothing averages values from the past to blend out sharp movements. The major disadvantage of Smoothing is that it is applied uniformly and creates lag. Adaptive Dampening on the other hand selectively applies to sharp movements, while actively trying to keep up with the operator.
