OmniVision's ultra-compact OVM9724
CameraCubeChip™ captures 720p high definition (HD)
video at 30 frames per second (fps) in an industry-
leading miniaturized module of 3.9 x 2.9 x 2.3 mm.
Because the OVM9724 CameraCubeChip is a reflowable
all-in-one camera drop-in solution, the need for
additional components is eliminated and manufacturing
is significantly streamlined.
The low-power 1/9-inch OVM9724 utilizes OmniVision's
powerful OmniBSI+™ pixel architecture to enable high
quality color images and fast frame 720p HD video at
30 fps or cropped VGA at 60 fps. This combination of
high-performance and small form factor allows HD
cameras to be integrated into ultra-slim, narrow-bezel
devices, making it an attractive solution for next
generation smartphones, tablets, notebooks and
Ultrabooks™.
The OVM9724 provides full-frame, sub sampled or
windowed 8- and 10-bit images. All required image
processing functions, including exposure control and
defective pixel cancelling are programmable through
the serial camera control bus (SCCB) interface.
