MediaTek Genio Users Now Have a Ready to Use 13MP PDAF Camera Solution

Partnering with MediaTek and OLogic, we have developed hardware to connect OLogic’s Pumpkin i350 and Pumpkin i500 Evaluation Kits (EVKs) powered by MediaTek Genio AIoT SoC, as well as software suites for Linux platform.

The THSCP101 enables MediaTek Genio customers to quickly integrate THEIA-CAM™ into their AIoT platform.

The THSCP101 is available for purchace at OLogic Store and Digi-Key.

THEIA-CAM™ Powered by THine’s High-Performance ISP

We used capabilities of THine’s ISP (THP7312-P) to maximize the image quality perfomance of Sony’s 13MP PDAF Sensor IMX258.

The number of resolution choices, the Image Quality under any light conditions, the Autofocus performance, and unit-to-unit performance alignment are all optimized.

Further, with THine’s ISP Firmware development kit, customers are able to further customize the solution including using a different image sensor.

THSCP101 THEIA-CAM Overview

Here are some of the key features of the THSCP101 offering.

Plug and Play with OLogic’s Pumpkin EVKs

Partnering with MediaTek and OLogic, the THSCP101 works with OLogic’s Pumpkin EVKs powered by MediaTek Genio.

Linux Binary, V4L2 Driver, and ISP Firmware is available upon request.

Pumpkin has 2 camera inputs, which is also supported by the THSCP101. You can use 2 THEIA-CAM™s with Pumpkin!

High-Resolution Choices

Unlike typical SBC cameras, the THSCP101 supports 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 output allowing to use a variety of high-resolution choices.

Ultra-fast Autofocus (PDAF, Phase Detection Autofocus)

Sony’s Image Sensor (IMX258) along with fine-tuned ISP Firmware provides ultra quick autofocus.

Best-in-Class Image Quality

Based on our years of Image Quality support for numerous customers, we developed and tuned the ISP firmware. The Image Quality perfomance exceeds iPhone 12 camera Image Quality in some of Imatest Image Quality testing criteria.

Scalable for high-volume production

The unit-to-unit image quality (Auto White Balance, Lens Shading, PDAF, etc.) is fully characterized and calibrated at Factory. Thus, the hardware architecture is scalable for any size of production without any compromise.
