Digital Imaging Engine Single Chip Imaging Processor

Advanced ASICs for OEMs


ViCAMIII is a highly programmable digital imaging engine on a chip, ideally suited for any digital imaging product that processes video, still images and audio. In addition to superior quality and features, the ViCAMIII offers competitive advantages by incorporating advanced imaging functions on a single chip. The flexible design capability allows for multiple product developments all with a single core, reducing both time to market and product cost. The ViCAMIII features provide advanced functions for basic webcams to the most advanced imaging system designs. The ViCAMIII supports CCD and CMOS image sensors with RGB or CMYG color filters, up to 16M pixel resolution. In addition it also supports a digital video input port. The ViCAMIII contains a programmable RISC micro-controller, high performance data path, multi end-point USB controller, digital video output, and JPEG compression engine. The ViCAMIII can deliver processed (AGC, AWB, etc.) high quality, compressed VGA video at 30 fps over a standard USB 1.1 interface. The onchip image scaler and compression engine allow slower interfaces to support full speed video. Hardware based features include digital pan and zoom (providing for area of interest read-out), motion sensing, temporal noise filtering, and more. Its highly expandable architecture provides support for external hardware such as pan, tilt, zoom, electronic iris, flash, auto focus, audio, LCD display, memory cards and more.
