“Users no longer have to rely on their external webcams for high-quality video calls. OMNIVISION’s OV08X image sensor allows high-end and flagship notebook designers to create the thinnest possible devices with high-resolution 4K cameras,” said Akeem Chen, product marketing manager, OMNIVISION. “We have also addressed many work- and learn-from-home user needs with the new OV08X, including autoframing, human presence detection, and high dynamic range (HDR) image capture.”
The OV08X can be used for laptop cameras with a display ratio of 16:10, supports 3840 × 2400 resolution, and shoots 4K video at 30 frames per second. It is the first image sensor in the notebook computer market to integrate a four-channel color filter array pattern and an on-chip hardware remosaic. In addition, OV08X also supports automatic composition and human body recognition functions.
