SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVTI), a leading developer
of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced the OV2718,
a high definition (HD) CameraChip™ sensor designed for
high-performance security cameras. The 1/3-inch OV2718 leverages
OmniVision's OmniBSI-2™ pixel architecture to deliver best-in-class
low-light sensitivity, high dynamic range (HDR), and 1080p HD
video, making it well-suited for mainstream security and
surveillance systems.
"Industry analysts predict a strong demand for image sensors
with high quality 1080p HD video recording capabilities in
mainstream commercial security systems. The OV2718, a sensor that
offers such capabilities in a standard 1/3-inch format widely
adopted in the industry, is designed to directly address that
demand," said Chris Yiu, senior
strategic marketing manager at OmniVision. "The OV2718 delivers
best-in-class low-light sensitivity for 1080p security cameras.
This sensitivity, paired with OmniVision's HDR technology, enables
excellent scene reproduction even in challenging lighting
conditions, which is essential for surveillance cameras."
Built on OmniVision's OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture, the 1/3-inch
OV2718 can record 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second (FPS) in
HDR mode. The OV2718 leverages OmniVision's in-pixel HDR technology
to capture crisp, clear images and video when recording in high-
and low-light environments, a critical benefit for security and
surveillance cameras.
The OV2718 is currently available for sampling, and is expected
to enter volume production by the end of 2015.
