This results in significantly lower power consumption, approximately 30% lower than conventional models.*3 In many cases, security cameras operate around the clock, creating issues such as power consumption costs, impact on the environment, and camera heat generation. This product utilizes a stacked structure, employing a Cu-Cu connection*4 between the pixel unit and circuit unit, to achieve an optimized layout for multiple high-speed signal processing circuits.
■Consumes 30% less power than conventional models*3 Depending on the purpose, users can choose to read only the necessary region at high speed to lessen the load on the camera system at a later stage by reducing the amount of data compared to the conventional method of reading all pixels.Įxample of frame rate and region of interest vertical specification
The location of the region of interest in the frame can be specified vertically, together with the corresponding frame rate. This image sensor is the industry’s first*1 to employ Dual Speed Streaming technology to simultaneously output all pixels in a captured image at a maximum rate of 40 frames per second while also reading specific regions of interest at a high frame rate, a feat made possible by its original readout circuits. ■Equipped with Dual Speed Streaming for simultaneous full-pixel output of captured images and high-speed output of specific regions of interest As a result, the new sensor product has potential applications beyond security cameras, for instance in drive recorders and webcams, both of which are seeing increasing demand in recent times.

The new sensor can be used to capture, for example, the whole image of an intersection while recognizing people and cars moving through it, or to capture an overall image of a highway while also capturing the details needed to identify the license plate numbers of cars travelling on it.Īdditionally, STARVIS 2, a technology which delivers high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, but with approximately 30% less energy consumption than conventional models,*3 enables a dynamic range of 78 dB, approximately 2.5 times that of conventional models,*3 when used in a single exposure method. Thanks to proprietary Dual Speed Streaming technology from SSS, the new sensor can simultaneously output the whole captured image and specific regions of interest at different frame rates, enabling capture of a comprehensive image of the scene while also accurately recognizing quick-moving objects, all with a single camera. At the same time, keeping the number of cameras optimized at a minimum is necessary to keep system costs low. The requirements for security cameras vary depending on where and how they are used. *3 Compared to SSS’s IMX335 1/3-type 5.12 effective megapixel CMOS sensor. *2 Based on image sensor effective pixel specification method. *1 Among CMOS image sensors for security camera applications.
These technologies come together to deliver high-performance, high-quality image capture regardless of usage conditions or time of day, thereby contributing to a safer, more secure society. The new sensor also employs unique STARVISTM 2 technology from SSS, which delivers high-sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, but with approximately 30% less power consumption than conventional models,*3 thanks to its proprietary stacked structure. Using this image sensor allows a single camera not only to provide comprehensive images of scenes, but also to support high-speed recognition of specific objects at a high level of detail. In an industry first,*1 the new sensor from SSS leverages Dual Speed Streaming technology to output all of the pixels in a captured image at a maximum rate of 40 frames per second while simultaneously outputting specific user-set regions of interest at high speed. Sony Semiconductor Solutions to Release Industry’s First*1 CMOS Image Sensor for Security Cameras That Simultaneously Delivers Full-Pixel Output ofĬaptured Images and High-Speed Output of Regions of InterestĪtsugi, Japan - Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) today announced the upcoming release of the IMX675, a 1/3-type CMOS image sensor for security cameras with approximately 5.12 megapixels*2 that simultaneously delivers both full-pixel output of the whole captured image and high-speed output of regions of interest.
