General Description

NT96650BG is a high image quality, high performance, power saving and cost effective digital still camera (DSC) and digital video camera (DV) controller with excellent digital still image capturing and video streaming capabilities. It is targeted for the application of VGA to 50M pixel DSC/DV resolutions. It can be easily adapted to many high speed CMOS and conventional CCD image sensors with on chip programmable interface timing approach. The controller provides sophisticated video processing methods with built-in hardware acceleration pipeline. This is essential for achieving high performance for per-shot, shot-to-shot, and continuous shooting pictures. The controller provides flexible mechanism for auto white balance, auto exposure and auto- focusing in order to better tradeoff hardware and software efforts over the performance. Embedded H.264 video CODEC supports video recording up to full-HD 1080p30. The HDMI 1.3 Tx is also equipped for HDTV output. Rich storage interfaces are supported to make it ideal for the storage of still pictures and video streaming data. The USB2.0 high speed interface can upload/download the audio/video data efficiently to/from PC.
