The OV2724 chip is capable of delivering frame rates of 1080p/60 HD video with high sensitivity and dynamic range. The latest innovation can fit inside a 5 x 5 x 3.5mm module and is ideal for front facing camera duty.
OmniVision OV2724 chip is built on 1.34-micron OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture and the advanced design captures a 1080 HD video at 60fps with high dynamic range and low-light performance. The OmniVision's imaging technology reduces the image contamination, such as fixed pattern noise and smearing.
The OV2724 has a dual-lane MIPI interface and will be available in chip scale package and reconstructed wafer formats. The sensor is expected to enter mass production in Q3 of 2013.
