SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading
developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced
the OV10823, a new sensor designed for next-generation security and
surveillance systems. The 1/2.6-inch CameraChip™ sensor utilizes
OmniVision's 1.4-micron OmniBSI-2™ pixel architecture to deliver
best-in-class low-light performance and ultra high definition 4K
output. These features can enable advanced surveillance functions
like automatic tracking and detection, high quality digital zoom,
and video analytics.
"In terms of image processing, bandwidth, and playback
capabilities, we view the security market as ready to take the leap
into ultra-high resolution 4K video. Up to this point, a critical
missing component has been a high performance image sensor that can
deliver the required image quality and video specifications. The
OV10823 is designed to provide exactly that capability," said
Chris Yiu, senior product marketing
manager at OmniVision. "The OV10823 is a no-compromise image sensor
that can bring exceptional image quality. In conjunction with our
partners' 'intelligent' algorithms, this new sensor can form a key
part of new security systems with advanced features such as video
analytics and automatic detection and tracking."
The OV10823 is a native 16:9 CameraChip sensor that can support
ultra-high resolution 4K video at 30 frames per second (FPS) with
electronic image stabilization (EIS), or binned 1080p high
definition (HD) video at 60 FPS. The sensor's 4K resolution and
1.4-micron pixels, when paired with fisheye lenses, make it ideally
suited for IP cameras and commercial surveillance systems that
focus on high resolution and wide-area coverage. The sensor's
low-light sensitivity provides further advantages as well, such as
crisp, clear digital zoom.
The OV10823 offers a zero-degree chief ray angle (CRA) and is
available in a chip-scale package (CSP). The sensor is currently in
volume production.
