How small is the sensor? It measures out to be just a minuscule size of 0.575 mm x 0.575 mm. First, the sensor was developed for mall-outer-diameter medical endoscopes and catheters. Now however, the sensor has become much more versatile. The OV can be used for applications like ental, veterinary, internet-of-things (IoT), industrial, wearable and forensic devices. Also, OmiVision said the OV&#;s OmniBSI+ pixel technology delivers &#;best-in-class&#; image quality and low-light performance.

OmniVision OV breakdown

The OV features a 1/36-inch optical format and an image array that can capture 200 x 200 resolution video at up to 30 frames per second (fps). Moving on, the sensor offers low-light sensitivity of mV/lux-sec. Additionally, the company says its sensor technology with the OV delivers &#;excellent image quality in terms of color fidelity, sharpness and low noise.&#;

The OmniVision sensor also consumes a low amount of power. This, in turn, means less heat is generated. This makes the sensor much more comfortable when using an endoscope. Plus, the sensor enables integration with a 4-pin interface and analog data output, capable of data transmission of up to 4 meters.
