SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading
developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced
the OV9732 and OV9733, two power-efficient high definition (HD)
CameraChip™ sensors based on OmniVision's proven OmniPixel3‑HS™
pixel technology. The OV9732 and OV9733 require minimal power
consumption to capture crisp 720p HD video at 30 frames per second
(FPS), making both sensors ideal camera solutions for mainstream
security systems and wireless battery-powered smart-home
cameras.
The OV9732 is a traditional Bayer sensor. The OV9733, on the
other hand, is equipped with RGB-IR pixels that can replace the
traditional mechanical IR cut filter, thus simplifying the system
designs and enabling the sensor to capture high quality infrared
images and video, even from long ranges.
"Power consumption and image quality are among the most critical
performance indicators for compact, battery-powered cameras found
in new security systems and IoT-based smart-home and lifestyle
cameras," said Chris Yiu, senior
strategic marketing manager at OmniVision. "The extremely
power-efficient OV9732 and OV9733 are 35 percent smaller than the
previous-generation OV9712 CameraChip sensor, while capturing
equally exceptional images. These benefits make the OV9732 and
OV9733 extremely versatile imaging solutions, capable of supporting
most mainstream security cameras and battery-operated camera
platforms."
The OV9732 and OV9733 CameraChip sensors utilize OmniPixel3-HS™
high sensitivity pixel technology to bring excellent scene
reproduction to a wide range of security and lifestyle camera
applications that typically operate in extremely high- and
low-light conditions. The sensors' narrow 9-degree chief ray angle
(CRA) supports consumer-grade optical lens systems and reduces
image artifacts for enhanced performance. When operating in
low-power mode, the 1/4-inch OV9732 requires just 115mW to capture
720p HD video at 30 FPS.
The OV9732 is currently in volume production and the OV9733 is
expected to enter volume production in the fourth quarter of
2015.
