The 1/4-inch OV9714 is a native high-definition (HD) image sensor capable of capturing high quality 720p video at 60 frames per second (fps) or cropped VGA at 120 fps. Built on an enhanced OmniPixel®3-HS pixel, the OV9714 combines excellent low-light performance of 3300 mV/lux-sec and high dynamic range (HDR) with fast frame rates, making it ideally suited for entertainment, notebook, telepresence and high-end security applications.

The sensor’s new and improved OmniPixel®3-HS pixel architecture offers better low-light sensitivity, signal to noise ratio (SNR) performance and a 5 dB improvement in dynamic range compared to the previous generation. The OV9714’s 12-bit RGB RAW output capability provides optimized HDR, while the embedded sequential line- or frame-based HDR features allow higher dynamic range for high-contrast scenes often encountered indoors.

The OV9714’s fast frame rate minimizes latency delay, resulting in quick response time for interactive gaming and real-time communication applications. Additionally, the sensor offers frame synchronization functionality for use in 3D (stereo) camera systems.

The sensor comes with a standard 2-lane MIPI interface and fits into an 8 x 6 x 4.5 mm module size.
