OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch & display technology, today announced the OV08X, the industry's only 9.2 megapixel (MP) CMOS image sensor with pixel size at 0.7-micron, enabling 4K resolution in a 1/5.7-inch optical format. The OV08X can be used in the most stringent 4 mm y-dimension module laptops with 16:10 (1920x1200) aspect ratio monitors. It is the first image sensor for the laptop market to integrate a four-cell color filter array and on-chip hardware remosaic, providing high-quality, 9.2 MP Bayer output in real time.

"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."




OV08X Supports the Latest Laptop Trends
The 4K resolution OV08X image sensor supports AI-tuned autoframing, which keeps the user in the center of the screen during video calls, and field of view can be customized. Human presence detection is a relatively new and high-demand feature that allows for touch-free logins and auto-locks. The sensor is built with a low-power image signal processor to provide leading-edge light sensing mode and ultra-low power to maximize battery life.

Additional Feature Highlights of the OV08X
Built on OMNIVISION's PureCel Plus-S stacked-die technology for a small module footprint
Outputs 4K video at 30 frames per second
Utilizes four-cell pixel binning with two-exposure staggered HDR timing to minimize motion artifacts and capture crisp, clear video in difficult lighting conditions

The OV08X image sensor is sampling now and will be in mass production in December 2022.

Wow, can't wait for every laptop to not use it :D

The problem was never the lack of hardware, it is the lack of will to make use of it and add the necessary software/hardware for it to be relevant (new higher res sensor won't do much if it's still the same very small sensor with high aperture without any processing to boost the quality other than the usual basic gain x9000 that makes the image suck).

Or the price? I mean laptop manufacturers are willing to spend anything on those useless Are-gee-bees but hey wanna have a semi decent non 720p cam, no camn do :shadedshu:

They'd rather exclude a cam altogether then include anything above 720/1080p even on the most expensive laptops out there & no I don't effin care about large bezels!

I'd be happy to see a decent 1080p cam with proper image processing than what we're getting today.
