Thanks, Ethan for the report!
This is defintely unusual. It would appear that the software is actually warping the 4 sensors into one panorama and then cutting them into four streams.
Is there any way to see the raw streams before proccessing? What kind of lenses are on the imagers?
They've done a fantastic job at integrating them, though, thats for sure.

The side by side comparison to a 12MP single sensor pano is interesting. It is surprising that even at 15' the Hik with IR looks to be relatively useless at night.
