OmniVision Technologies’ OV8858
OmniVision Technologies Inc.

OmniVision Technologies’ OV8858 1/4-in., 8-megapixel PureCel image sensor eyes smartphone and tablet markets with lower power consumption and support for video-in-video (ViV). The ViV function allows the sensor to stitch together images from the front- and rear-cameras and send the combined image to a host ISP. Users can capture a portrait scene alongside their own face, record video while narrating for video blogging, or initiate video conferencing. In relation to the company’s previous-generation 1/4-in. 8-megapixel sensor, the OV8858 delivers a number of enhancements including better full-well capacity and sensitivity for enhanced high- and low-light performance. It also offers reduced power consumption and a smaller form factor. The OV8858 fits into an 8.5 x 8.5 mm camera module with a build height of approximately 4 mm.
