SAN JOSE, Calif. & COLOGNE, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)\u2013Continuing to push the capabilities of high performance CMOS image sensors, Aptina Imaging, today introduced its new 10-megapixel (part number MT9J001) sensor for digital still camera, digital video and hybrid camera applications. The sensor provides camera manufacturers with an easy to integrate, unique sensor that combines rapid image capture and superior image quality. The new 1.67-micron pixel sensor features 1\/2.3\u201d optical format, and a parallel\/serial frame rate of 7.5fps (parallel) and 15fps (serial). It is the first 10MP CMOS image sensor for point-and-shoot digital cameras and the first product to integrate Aptina\u2019s High-Speed Serial Pixel Interface (HiSPi\u2122). This high bandwidth serial interface is based upon the JEDEC SLVS signaling standard and enables faster data transfer rates (up to 2.8 Gbps). Aptina\u2019s new sensor features HiSPi\u2122 and allows a camera to capture and process data in HD (1080p\/60fps). Additionally, the new 10MP sensor is the first of Aptina\u2019s high performance sensors with digital re-sampling after binning. This re-sampling feature removes binning artifacts seen in 2\u00d72 binned images and matches the distribution density of the original unbinned image. As a result of the extended binning capabilities of the sensor, camera users have a full field of view in HD, enhancing the overall end-user experience. Aptina\u2019s announcement comes as the Photokina 2008 international tradeshow in Cologne, Germany begins.

\n\u201cAptina CMOS technology is advancing rapidly, enabling us to create high performance camera products for our global customers,\u201d says Sandor Barna, Vice President of Marketing at Aptina. \u201cOur new 10MP image sensor incorporates a unique 1.67-micron pixel format and a four-lane HiSPi\u2122 serial data interface to achieve results unmatched by CCD technology such as 60 fps HD video capture at 1080p.\u201d
\n
\nHiSPi\u2122 is the High Speed Serial Pixel Interface developed and owned . The open access, scalable technology enables 1080p\/60 fps performance (and beyond) and has been adopted by many of Aptina\u2019s business partners to meet the challenges of high speed, low power consumption data transfer. HiSPi\u2122 technology provides distinct benefits for users including open access to a performance focused interface, the ability to support 1080p\/60fps today\u20144X the data rate of standard broadcast (DI)\u2014and the scalability to accommodate higher data rates for the future. The MT9J001 10MP image sensor extends Aptina\u2019s portfolio of higher resolution products, providing increased image quality and HD video capture like the 5MP (MT9P001), 8MP (MT9E001), and 9MP (MT9N001). Samples will be available in 4Q08 and limited production begins in 1Q09.
