Sensor combines high-res photos and HD video
An Omnivision product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Mar 17, 2009
Omnivision Technologies has introduced the OV9810 9 megapixel sensor, designed to address the 'sweet spot' of both digital still camera (DSC) and high-definition (HD) camcorder market segments.
The OV9810 combines 9 megapixel photography with 1080p HD video on a single chip, eliminating the trade-offs between high-quality still photography and high-performance HD video.
The OV9810 is also designed to address the convergence of digital still and HD video in emerging digicam applications.
Featuring Omnivision's high-sensitivity 1.75 micron Omnipixel3-HS architecture, the OV9810 delivers low-light sensitivity at 960mV/lux-sec.
The Omnipixel3-HS architecture is Omnivision's most advanced generation of front side illumination (FSI) pixel architectures to date, providing enhanced image capture under very low lighting conditions.
The low-power, high-performance OV9810 provides the full functionality of a single-chip camera in a small footprint package (10mm x 10mm).
The 1/2.3in OV9810 is capable of operating at 8.9 frames per second (fps) in full 9 megapixel resolution, and offers true HD quality (1080p) video at 30fps.
The OV9810 is capable of providing various output formats over a digital video parallel (DVP) or serial MIPI port, controlled by an SCCB interface.
The MIPI and DVP interfaces can also be used for a second camera.
All required image processing functions, including exposure control, white balance and defective pixel cancelling, are programmable through the SCCB interface.
The OV9810 eliminates image contamination issues such as fixed pattern noise, smearing and blooming to produce a clean, stable and vivid colour image.
The OV9810 is immediately available for customer sampling with volume production slated for the second half of 2009.
