SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- OmniVision Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading
developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, and VIA
Technologies, Inc., a leader in embedded IoT and M2M platform
innovation, today announced a partnership to develop a
battery-powered high definition (HD) video monitoring solution that
enables OEMs to dramatically reduce time-to-market for wireless
multi-node monitoring systems in homes and small businesses.
"This partnership between OmniVision and VIA Technologies
exemplifies both companies' desire to meet the rapidly growing
demand for turnkey solutions that can give OEMs the ability to
quickly and cost-effectively bring innovative smart devices to
market," said Paul Gallagher, senior
director of marketing at OmniVision. "By offering 'instant-on'
crisp HD video and streaming capabilities in an extremely
power-efficient, battery operated package, OmniVision's OV9712 and
OV788 video signal processor together provide excellent
capabilities for the advanced solution now under development."
"By combining OmniVision's industry-leading imaging technologies
with VIA's advanced video processing technologies and embedded
Android system design capabilities, we have produced a highly
competitive turnkey solution," said Epan Wu, head of VIA Embedded.
"We look forward to collaborating with OmniVision and driving the
development of new and innovative technologies for the rapidly
growing market for home and commercial monitoring systems."
Utilizing the OV9712 CameraChip™ sensor developed with
OmniVision's proprietary OmniPixel3-HS™ high sensitivity pixel
technology, the solution will be designed to achieve excellent
scene reproduction in both extremely high- and low-light
environments. The OV9712 will operate in conjunction with
OmniVision's ultra-low power OV788 video signal processor.
That processor will provide video compression, 720p HD video
streaming, and AES-256 encryption over any Wi-Fi network, thus
allowing users to quickly stream high quality video content using
the video monitoring solution.
