Video conferencing saved? Howe Releases 4KHDR Laptop Camera: Supports Portrait Centering

On September 13, OmniVision, an optical module manufacturer, announced that its first 4K resolution lens module for notebook computers is coming soon. The OV08X will be the industry's first camera module that supports HDR in an ultra-thin volume. It is reported that in addition to 4K and HDR, this new camera module also has an automatic viewfinder function and a portrait centering function.

It has to be said that in the current notebook computer market, the office and education fields still dominate. But the reality is that most manufacturers don't pay much attention to the video conferencing requirements commonly used in the office. On the one hand, the camera module conflicts with the thin and light design, and on the other hand, the product update cycle is long, and improving key performance is the comparison. realistic approach. For example, Apple's new 13-inch MacBook Pro this year, the processor has been updated to the M2 chip, but it is still equipped with a 720P resolution camera, which makes people feel incredible. (Photo from: OMNVISION) It ​​is reported that OmniVision's new OV08X optical module can be used in notebook computers with a 16:10 aspect ratio display, and this size is relatively common on the Windows platform. It is not difficult to predict that next year, notebook computer manufacturers will have One more new selling point of "camera function". In addition, the OV08X also supports automatic adjustment of the framing screen through AI, so that the character will always remain in the center of the screen during the video conference, which seems to be a bit "familiar". Thanks to the diversified development of educational methods, online classes have become a more popular way of class in recent years, directly stimulating the sales of tablet computers and notebook computers. Even if the demand increases, most of the manufacturers only focus on "cost-effectiveness" and "stable network experience", and are just slack in the urgent core needs of "online exam", "online meeting" and "online interview" . Apple brought a new series of Mac Studio products at the spring conference earlier this year. The most eye-catching part is to improve the camera experience, support the centering of characters and clearer video performance, and iOS 16 also supports the use of iPhone as a Mac It can be seen that manufacturers are gradually paying attention to this part that has been neglected for a long time.

OmniVision OV08X may not be able to affect the attitude of the entire market towards cameras, but at least it provides manufacturers with one more option to start "rolling in" in the "lagging" part, which will benefit consumers.
