OV2720
Color CMOS 2 Megapixel (1932 x 1092) Image Sensor with OmniBSI™ Technology

The OV2720 is the world’s first 1/6-inch, native 1080p/30 high-definition (HD) CMOS image sensor designed for notebook, webcam and video conferencing applications. Enabled by our proprietary 1.4-micron OmniBSI™ pixel technology, the OV2720 allows for extremely thin camera modules with a z-height of 3.5 mm, while delivering video conference quality 1080p HD video, making it an ideal choice for the next generation of ultra-thin, HD video-enabled notebooks.

A native HD sensor, the OV2720 enjoys optimal performance because it does not suffer from degradation or image artifacts due to scaling or cropping. Instead, native HD enables full field of view video with optimized image quality, sensitivity, color reproduction and clarity. Enabled by OmniBSI technology, the sensor achieves best-in-class low light sensitivity of 680-mV/lux-sec. Using a binning feature, OV2720’s low-light performance can be double that of similar-sized VGA sensors, making it an ideal choice for video conferencing and webcam applications.

The OV2720 supports multiple platform architectures and controllers with both parallel and MIPI interfaces. It allows system designers to leverage the same opto-electrical design across various products and multiple market segments to reduce product development time.

Exposure control, white balance and defective pixel canceling are programmable through the SCCB interface. In addition, OmniVision image sensors use proprietary sensor technology to improve image quality by reducing or eliminating common lighting/electrical sources of image contamination, such as fixed pattern noise and smearing to produce a clean, fully stable color image.
