Products |
, VC0201 |
VC0201 is a PC camera processor
integrating image signal processing, image compression
and USB transfer functions on one single chip. It requires
no external DRAM and comes in with 28-pin PLCC package,
making it the best choice for low-end CIF CMOS PC cameras. |
|
, VC0301 |
VC0301 is a single chip processor
for VGA PC cameras. The embedded MJPEG encoder within
VC0301 is able to deliver VGA video at 15 frames per
second and CIF video at 30 frames per second. VC0301
also comes in with 28-pin PLCC package. VC0301's device
driver has received Microsoft's WHQL certification. |
|
, VC0301Plus |
VC0301Plus is the second
generation PC camera processor from Vimicro with additional
imaging functionality, for example, image noise and
sharpness control. VC0301Plus supports almost all CIF/VGA
CMOS sensors available in the market, making it the
ideal choice for PC cameras at VGA resolution. It comes
in with 44-pin QFP package. VC0301Plus's device driver
has received Microsoft's WHQL certification. |
|
, VC0302 |
The newest member of Vimicro's PC camera
processor line, the VC0302 enables more compact and
cost-competitive USB-based PC cameras by integrating
audio capture directly into the camera. Integrating
the audio and video on the same chip not only reduces
parts count but also greatly simplifies A/V synchronization.
It supports most CMOS sensors in the market, and delivers
unparalleled multimedia experience. VC0302 comes in
with 44-pin QFP package. VC0302's device driver has
received Microsoft's WHQL certification. |
|
, VC0303 |
VC0303, currently under development,
will be the first USB 2.0 based single chip processor
from Vimicro, targeting the next generation PC camera
applications, such as remote diagnostic and remote education.
With Vimicro's high performance MJPEG compression encoder
and USB 2.0's lighting fast transmission speed, VC0303
will be able to deliver full mega-pixel resolution video
streams at stunning 30 frames per second. VC0303 samples
shall be available in first quarter of 2003. |
|
, VC0501 |
VC0501 is an imaging controller
for digital still camera products. VC0501 supports both
CMOS and CCD sensors, and comes with multiple interfaces
to external microprocessor, LCD driver, memory, TV encoder
as well as strobe flash light. When the camera is connected
to a PC through USB, VC0501's MJPEG codec is able to
deliver VGA video at 30 frames per second with dynamic
bit rate control. |
|
, VC0502 |
VC0502 is the next generation high
performance processor for up to 3M pixel digital still
cameras. It supports both CMOS and CCD sensors, and
comes with Vimicro's latest technology for auto-exposure,
auto-white-balance, auto-focus, and other advanced image
processing functions. VC0502 integrates microprocessor,
LCD driver as well as interfaces to all popular storage
media on a single chip, thus is ideal for cost effectiveness
solutions across the entry level and mid-range digital
camera market segments. |
|
, VC0511 |
