The OV10810 CMOS image sensor built on the company’s 1.4-µm OmniBSI pixel architecture combines10-megapixel burst photography at 30 fps with full 1080p HD video in a native 16:9 aspect ratio. As a RAW sensor, the device’s integrated programmable scaler enables either 1080p or 720p HD video capture at 30 fps while maintaining full field of view (FOV). At 2.6 Mpixel, the sensor operates at 60 fps with pixel binning, maintaining full FOV. At 5.3-Mpixel resolution with cropping, the OV10810 runs at 60 fps. High frame rates enable benefits that include slow motion photography, no image lag for shutter-less designs, continuous shooting, minimized rolling shutter effect, and real-time still image and video capture without changing resolutions. Other features include 2 x 2 binning functionality, a post-binning re-sampling filter, support for up to 8-lane LVDS or MIPI interfaces, and compatibility with a wide range of custom and merchant ISPs.
