SoC HD Camera for Home Entertainment
and Portable Media Markets
The OV9740 is a 1/6.9-inch system-on-a-chip (SoC) CMOS
image sensor designed for highly demanding video applications
in portable media players (PMPs), home entertainment devices
and notebooks. It is the first 720p HD SoC image sensor that
meets the premium video quality criteria for Microsoft® Office
Communicator and the High Quality Video specifications for
Skype™. With all image quality tuning and processing done
on-chip, the OV9740 enables customers to simplify product
development and accelerate time-to-market, making the SoC
sensor a cost effective, one-stop-shop solution for emerging
consumer applications including notebooks, netbooks,
webcams, gaming consoles, portable media players, mobile
phones, smart phones, TVs and set-top boxes.
The OV9740 combines OmniVision's 1.75-micron OmniBSI™
backside illumination pixel architecture and high-end image
signal processor (ISP) to deliver 720p native high-definition
(HD) video at 30 frames per second. The OV9740 offers
best-in-class low-light sensitivity at 1300 mV/lux-sec in an
ultra-thin camera module height of less than 3.2 mm. As a native
HD sensor, the OV9740 does not suffer from degradation or
image artifacts due to scaling or cropping, which is typically
used to achieve HD resolution from larger array sensors.
OmniVision's ISP features high-end image processing functions
such as advanced automatic white balance and color noise
reduction in the YUV domain while maintaining high frequency
details delivering clear, sharp still image and video capture.
Additional advanced image processing functions include
automatic exposure control, automatic gain control, auto black
level calibration, gamma correction, defect pixel correction,
edge enhancement, and lens correction, which are all
programmable through a standard serial camera control bus
(SCCB) interface. A dual-lane, high speed MIPI interface
supports RAW RGB and YUV422 output formats.
