Camera DSP chip, Introduction to Sunplus' camera main control chip

Camera chip, that is, the digital signal processing chip DSP, can be said to be the brain of the camera, and its effect is the same as the CPU in a computer. Its function is mainly to optimize the digital image signals transmitted by the CMOS/CCD sensor through a series of complex mathematical algorithms, and transmit the processed signals to PC and other devices through USB and other interfaces. It is the core device of the camera.

iCatch Technology is a low-power, high-performance digital image and video IC design and development company under Taiwan Lingyang, which has accumulated excellent expertise in image signal processing, machine vision, IC design and system integration.iCatch chipIt is a highly integrated video camera SOC that can be applied to various high-end 4K imaging products. It adopts a signal processor (ISP) and H.264 high-performance encoder, and is embedded with rich interfaces such as HDMI, USB, and MIPI.

iCatch As system levelCamera chip, has the technical advantages of low power consumption and high performance, which are mainly reflected in the following points:

Multi-axis image stabilization:

iCatch’s algorithms support both digital and electronic image stabilization (DIS and EIS), with EIS requiring an additional gyroscope to provide the information required for optimal performance.

3D Noise Reduction:

iCatch’s 3D noise reduction algorithm estimates motion between frames to significantly reduce unwanted noise while keeping all other image information intact.

Slow Motion:

iCatch's latest Image Signal Processor (ISP) and video encoder are able to process data at extremely high frame rates and achieve slow motion effects when the video is played at a slower speed.

Wide dynamic range:

iCatch’s Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology applies local tone mapping to restore lost details, enabling the camera to capture exceptional images and videos in extreme lighting conditions.

Super Resolution:

iCatch’s super-resolution algorithm avoids motion artifacts with just a single frame, effectively recovering lost image information even when the image was captured with 16x digital zoom.

High ISO Noise Reduction:

iCatch uses state-of-the-art noise reduction technology to improve output image quality for images shot in low-light environments using high ISO settings.

H.265 encoder:

iCatch’s SoC can record videos at 4K resolution and is equipped with an H.265 encoder, which further reduces the video file size by 30-40% compared to the H.264 encoder.

Huaxing Video, as a partner of iCatch, is a company specializing inCamera module custom developmentHuaxing Video's development team has accumulated many years of experience in developing various video camera products for customers using iCatch chips, and can quickly develop products for customers, saving customers' valuable time and money.

In order to facilitate customers to quickly verify and test, Huaxing Video launched a set of G1 full-featuredCamera ModulePublic version. This G1 public version is equipped with iCatch V39M camera DSP chip, supports 4K@60FPS, 4K@30FPS, 1080P@120FPS H.264 encoded video, supports multi-axis EIS image stabilization function, supports 512GTF memory card, and supports HDMI, WiFi display, touch screen, CVBS (TV-Out), serial port (Uart3), network port, Bluetooth, audio interface, PWM and other expansion interfaces on board. The PCB board size is 38*38mm.
