Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens OC_Formula and Wu Yanzu in South China for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 13, Howie Group announced that it is the first to bring 4K HDR camera module to notebooks. The new OV08X claims to be the only 9.2MP and 0.7-micron image sensor in the industry, which can provide 4K resolution for the next generation of lighter notebooks, enable new automatic view and personnel presence detection.

According to officials, the OV08X can be used in laptops equipped with 16:10 (1920 x 1200) aspect ratio display, and the vertical length (y-axis) occupies only 4mm. It is the first image sensor in the notebook market that integrates a four-unit color filter array and on-chip hardware puzzles. High-quality 9.2MP Bayer output can be provided in real time (Bayer format means that most color image sensors sense the color of only one of the RGB three channels at each pixel position, which is used to save manufacturing costs.

"users no longer need to rely on external webcams for high-quality video calls," said Akeem Chen, product marketing manager at Howie Group. "OV08X image sensors enable high-end and flagship laptop designers to use high-resolution 4K cameras to create the thinnest devices."

In addition, the OV08X image sensor supports AI adjustment of automatic view, keeping the user in the center of the screen during a video call, and can customize the field of view. The sensor also supports personnel presence detection and enables contactless login and automatic locking. The sensor has a built-in low-power image signal processor that provides light-sensing mode and ultra-low power consumption to maximize battery life.

Other highlights:

The construction of PureCel Plus-S stack chip technology based on OMNIVISION, the module takes up less space.

Output 4K video at a speed of 30 frames per second

Use four-unit pixel merging and two-exposure staggered HDR timing to minimize motion artifacts and capture clear, clear video under difficult lighting conditions

CTOnews.com has learned that samples of OV08X image sensors are now available and will be in production in December 2022.
