SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- OmniVision Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading
developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced
the OV788, an ultra-low power video compression chip with
integrated synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM).
Ideally suited for smart-home and security applications, the
compact OV788 system-in-package with SDRAM (OV0788-U44G) provides
small to midsize original equipment manufacturers with an
easy-to-integrate and compact video processing solution that
significantly reduces lead times and time to market. The OV788
system-in-package is compatible with a wide range of Internet of
Things (IoT) applications such as battery operated intrusion
cameras, door locks, video doorbells and 360-degree multi-cameras
in smart homes.
"On a global basis, industry analysts expect 12 percent of homes
to have at least one smart-home system by 2019. Furthermore, the
U.S. market is forecasted to have the highest growth rate for smart
homes [1]. This equates to an estimated 224 million potential
smart-home systems," said David Ho,
senior product manager at OmniVision. "Sensors and video processor
ASICs are vital components in visual sensing and visual data
processing functions, which are essential for smart-home systems.
They allow consumers to truly benefit from IoT imaging
applications. The OV788's built-in memory, ease of integration,
compact size, low power and fast boot-up are critical features for
battery-operated smart-home appliances, and can help bolster
further development of smart home IoT technologies."
The OV788 is a H.264 video processor ASIC that supports
video-encoding and decoding up to 720p (1280x720) high definition
(HD) at 30 frames per second (FPS), and enables still capture
output of full-resolution 8-megapixel JPEG images. Additionally,
the OV788 offers ultra-low power consumption and fast boot-up.
The OV0788-U44G with integrated SDRAM can fit into a compact 9 x
9 mm BGA package, and thus compares favorably to the OV788 with
external memory (which fits into an 11 x 11 mm BGA package). The
product is currently available for sampling, and is expected to
enter volume production in the fourth quarter of 2015.
