VC0568 is a mega-pixel camera controller chip for mobile applications. This processor enables camera phone to capture and display still images and video clips at real-time on the mobile phone screen. By using VC0568, the burden on the mobile phone host CPU for processing images and videos can be reduced dramatically.

VC0568’s image pipeline integrates Image Signal Processing (ISP) unit, Image Post Processing (IPP) unit, JPEG codec as well as JPEG buffer allocated from the on-chip 384KB SRAM for storing JPEG images up to 1.3M pixels. A powerful yet flexible image sizer embedded in VC0568 further allows mobile phone users to perform up to 16x digital zoom and pan function in viewfinder, capture and display modes. The on-chip JPEG codec may also be employed by host CPU for various encoding/decoding tasks. With direct interface to CMOS/CCD image sensor and LCD display module, VC0568 can provide high-quality, low-latency video streaming to the most popular LCD panels with the desired resolution and color depth.
