HD Image Sensors enhance battery-powered cameras.

Press Release Summary:




While OV9732 consists of traditional Bayer sensor, OV9733 is equipped with RGB-IR pixels that can replace traditional mechanical IR cut filter. Both HD CameraChip™ sensors, based on OmniPixel3-HS™ pixel technology, are suitable for security systems and wireless, battery-powered, smart-home cameras. Chief ray angle of 9° supports consumer-grade optical lens systems and reduces image artifacts. When operating in low-power mode, ¼ in. OV9732 requires 115 mW to capture 720p HD video at 30 fps.

OmniVision Launches High Definition CameraChip(TM) Sensors for Battery-Powered Security and Lifestyle Cameras



Power-Efficient and Compact OV9732 and OV9733 Bring 720p HD Video and Excellent Low-Light Sensitivity to Consumer Cameras



SANTA CLARA, Calif. – 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.
