Imaging Processors

Imaging Processors for PC Cameras
  Vimicro's low cost, high performance PC camera processors allow implementation of many different configurations. Solutions are designed to be flexible and have low bill-of-material costs. Vimicro PC camera processors address all major applications within the PC market, and offer seamless interface to all CMOS sensors and appropriate interface buses.

Imaging Processors for Digital Still Cameras
  Vimicro's growing line of digital still camera processors all come with advanced Vimicro proprietary imaging technology, thus delivering superior image quality approaching photo level. Some of the key functions include adaptive color interpolation, auto-white balance, auto-exposure, auto-focus, and advanced image noise and sharpness management. Further, all aspects of the core imaging engine are programmable through firmware to support OEMs' proprietary image processing technologies.

Image Processors for Mobile Phones and PDAs
  Vimicro's new line of mobile imaging processors enables mobile phone and PDA vendors to quickly add imaging functionalities to their products. Vimicro mobile imaging processors are designed specifically to address the need for a simple, low cost turnkey solution for clip-on and embedded cameras in mobile phones and PDAs. Vimicro mobile imaging processors integrate advanced image signal processing, robust imaging functions such as digital zoom with standard JPEG compression and emerging interface standards.


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
