Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., one of the global leaders in providing advanced semiconductor solutions, announced the expansion of its CMOS image sensors. The new product that has been added is none other than the S5K4AW PC Camera CMOS Image Sensor System-on-Chip for Real-time HD Video.

“The notebook and desktop PC market requires an image sensor solution specifically optimized for video,” said Dr. Yiwan Wong, vice president of marketing for Samsung Electronics’ System LSI Division. “For PC users, the main concern of an embedded camera is video, not still image capturing. We’re addressing this nuance with our new CMOS image sensor SoC that has been completely designed, and performance optimized, with high-definition and VGA video in mind.”

Featuring a high-definition 1/ 4-inch, 1.2 mega pixel system-on-chip imager, the new S5K4AW is ideal for desktop computers and notebooks. It is capable of supporting 720p HD video at 30 fps. Samsung plans for mass production of this product in the first half of 2009.
