According to the company, the OV50X camera sensor supports four-cell pixel binning for low light scenarios, which means devices can capture 12.5-megapixel images at up to 180fps. When the sensor’s three-channel HDR is used, the fps drops to 60fps.
OmniVision has touted the improved video recording performance of the OV50X sensor, claiming that it can capture 8K video with an in-sensor crop zoom and dual analogue gain (DAG) HDR, along with quad phase detection autofocus. This allows it to bypass the 35-megapixel requirement for 8K video recording.
The company also revealed a sample showcasing the improved dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) offered by the new OV50X camera sensor. However, we’ll need to wait to see more real world camera samples to see how much of a jump in performance the OmniVision OV50X offers over the OV50H, and how it fares against the ccompetition.
