8.48MP CMOS image sensor target high-end network security cameras
Thanks to its high-reliability 4K video capture at 60 fps, the new sensor is claimed to achieve clear, high-visibility full-colour imaging even in a moonlit environment or when the digital zoom is used.
The new sensor supports a line-by-line HDR (high dynamic range) mode in which long exposure data and short exposure data are output separately for each line. This allows video capture, even for high-contrast scenes.
Renesas also provides a reference board that was developed together with a camera module manufacturer to allow users to evaluate the performance of the Renesas CMOS image sensor. Renesas plans to work with camera module manufacturers to supply camera modules with a variety of features such as autofocus functions, HDR (high dynamic range) functions, wide-area monitoring functions, and vibration reduction (image stabilization) functions.
