Introducing easy-to-integrate, low-power camera
solution for 1080p video streaming over Wi-Fi
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient
innovations, is collaborating with GainSpan and GEO Semiconductor
to rapidly respond to the ever-growing potential of the Internet of
Things (IoT). Through this partnership, customers will benefit from
the leadership each company has shown in its respective field: ON
Semiconductor’s advanced and expansive portfolio of image sensors,
GEO’s highly cost-effective and power efficient image signal
processing technology, and GainSpan’s expertise in low power Wi-Fi
solutions.
A highly optimized IoT video reference design is the trio’s
first collaboration. The GS-AR0330-Based Full HD Video, available
via GainSpan and its distributors, targets smart 1080p video
streaming over Wi-Fi. Through wireless connectivity, it can
interface seamlessly with smartphones that use either iOS or
Android operating systems. The solution comprises all of the
hardware and software needed for engineers to quickly and simply
add video streaming capabilities into their IoT-based designs,
thereby facilitating the development process and accelerating time
to market. The video reference design is accompanied by a complete
software suite, plus a series of sophisticated mobile application
programming interfaces (APIs).
Central to this solution is ON Semiconductor’s AR0330 1/3-Inch
optical format CMOS image sensor, which delivers superior imaging
quality in low light conditions. Using its 2304 x 1296 active-pixel
array, this device has the capacity to capture 3 megapixel (MP)
still images. It also incorporates advanced on-chip camera
features, such as column/row subsampling, windowing, mirroring and
snapshot modes. The video reference design’s processing resource
offers H.264 encoding/compression thanks to its high performance,
ultra-low power multi-mode SoC. This can deal with 1080p high
definition resolution image content at 30 frames per second (fps),
as well as supporting auto white balance, auto exposure and auto
focus functions. By detecting movement, the on-board passive
infra-red sensor can be utilized for rapid wake up of the system
from standby, so that video streaming can begin.
“This cooperative agreement with GainSpan and GEO Semiconductor,
and the products that will be derived from it, will have
considerable positive impact on the IoT sector. The attributes that
each company brings to the partnership complements each other
perfectly,” states Radhika Arora, IoT Product Line Manager,
Automotive Imaging and Scanning Division at ON Semiconductor. “This
allows us to fully capitalize upon the possibilities for
video-enabled IoT implementations in home automation, security,
smart lighting, building access and infant monitoring systems.”
“GEO Semiconductor is pleased to partner with GainSpan and ON
Semiconductor to enable system solutions for emerging markets where
low power and high quality video are key requirements. GEO
anticipates rapid adoption of these jointly developed solutions for
the IoT marketplace,” says Kent Goodin, Vice President &
General Manager of Consumer Products at GEO Semiconductor Inc.
“GainSpan is thrilled to partner with ON Semiconductor and GEO
Semiconductor to provide low-power wireless video platforms,” says
Richard Najarian, GainSpan Senior Director, Solutions Marketing.
“Video-based device manufacturers can now leverage the platform
integration advantages to greatly speed up development of their IoT
video devices.”
