The OV9810 color image sensor eliminates the trade-offs
between high performance still photography and high
quality HD video by combining 9 megapixel photography
with 1080p HD video on a single chip. With a packaged
footprint of only 8.195 mm x 7.535 mm, the OV9810 is the
ideal solution for digital still camera (DSC), digital video
camcorder (DVC) and digicam applications.
Featuring OmniVision's high-sensitivity 1.75 μm
OmniPixel3-HS™ architecture, the OV9810 delivers
best-in-class low-light sensitivity at 960 mV/(lux-sec),
giving it a significant edge over competing sensors.
The OmniPixel3-HS architecture is OmniVision's most
advanced generation of front side illumination pixel
architectures to date, providing enhanced image capture
under very low lighting conditions.
In addition to its small footprint and extraordinary
performance, the OV9810 is capable of providing various
OV9810
output formats over a digital video parallel (DVP) or serial
MIPI port, controlled by the SCCB interface. The MIPI and
DVP interfaces can also be used for a second camera. All
required image processing functions, including exposure
control, white balance, and defective pixel canceling, are
programmable through the SCCB interface. The OV9810
eliminates image contamination issues such as fixed
pattern noise, smearing and blooming to produce a clean,
stable and vivid color image.
The OV9810 is capable of operating at 8.9 frames per
second (fps) in full 9 megapixel resolution and offers full
HD quality (1080p) video at 30 fps. No other 9 megapixel
image sensor on the market combines the performance-
rich features of digital still and 1080p video better than
the OV9810.
