New product release 

VPS800 - New large area array image sensor chip released for wide-area surveillance

 

On September 6, the 24th China International Optoelectronics Expo kicked off at the Shenzhen Baoan International Convention and Exhibition Center. At this Optoelectronic Expo, Nanjing VPS Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. released a new product for the wide-area monitoring field - VPS800 large area array imaging. This series of chips has a pixel count of over 600 million, a pixel size of 0.7 microns, and supports 16 ROIs (regions of interest). It can provide imaging solutions at longer distances and a wider range, expanding the new boundaries of existing wide-area monitoring solutions.

The VPS800 large area array imaging chip is based on the internally-developed vertical charge transfer imaging device (VPS) as the core. It has a single-chip pixel size of more than 600 million, which can solve the problems of complexity, large volume, and high power consumption of existing large area array camera systems. It achieves long range and large field of view while reducing size, weight, power consumption, and cost, allowing coverage of a wider range clearly while obtaining more micro details. Currently, it is mainly used in security monitoring, commercial satellites, industrial inspection, etc. 

For scenarios that require both large-scale observation and the acquisition of a large number of micro-details, the VPS800 large-area image sensor chip can support long-distance fixed-point shooting. With one imaging, large-scale observation can be achieved and the fine details of the entire image can be retained.
 
For scenarios presenting large target areas and high resolution such as commercial satellite surveillance, imaging sensors are required to be "small" and "light". The VPS800 large-area imaging chip can support a single-chip pixel size of more than 600 million without the need for splicing. It is small in size and light in weight - more in line with the demand scenarios of micro/nano satellites.
 
It is worth mentioning that the chip supports 16 ROI (Region of Interest) functions, which allows users to read sensor information from any area, thus reducing the amount of information read. The target can be continuously observed through one frame, and it can also achieve multi-target synchronous tracking. It can be used as a supplementary solution to existing security monitoring solutions, expanding the observation scope and application boundaries of existing security monitoring solutions.
